I don't think it's that expensive to ship the engine by itself. They can stuff many of those in a container and with the volume they ship, the price would be negligible, especially for a high volume shipper like BMW. To them, using existing plants may be more cost efficient that setting up a US engine plant, who knows. I'm sure they have people they pay to run those figures for them.
