My guess is weight. They could have gone with a B58 but I guess it didn't cut it for the "tuner" aspect and reliablity to handle the power (even though I think the B58 has decent potential).

And an off the shelf +400hp BMW engine would have weight too much and ruined the handling aspect of the MKV specially if it was iron.

The middle ground was a light weight CGI "B58". That's my opinion anyway.
