I did not write that bmw cams are of a different construction, I wrote that the N52 cams are of different constructon. Apparently reading is not your strong point.
The n52 cam consists of some kind of steel blow mold (or flow formed) inner core that clamps outer cam lobes.
Show me another cam that is made that way. Do you know how a 'normal' cam is made? Oh no wait, any in depth technical question I asked, you werent able to answer (or understand...)

Yes I'm an industrial engineer who has a company in surface technology, and have a lot of customers who come to me with problems on nitrided products. This falls well within in my expertise.
Even the occasional cam (not tiny car cams but rather large Wärtsila cams etc)
So maybe I shouldn't shut up? Maybe me telling you about the case depth of the nitriding process should have given you clues?
Or maybe you were too stupid to pick up on those clues...that would be in line with the rest of what you wrote...
