[V8] Well, it's spring....

 I don't think it's weird, just plain wrong.
Audi NEVER used Nikasil in anything except some Apex seals in early
Wankels.
Also, the time line would put it right around the time BWM was taking it
on the bottom line replacing Nikasil V8's on their dime because of the
wearing away already mentioned.  Wouldn't make much sense to copy failure
and abandon a process that's proven, even for Audi.
