"Lets hope they are more successful this season with Sauber on thier side instead of Williams."

They should, because unlike just being partners (as engine suppliers) to Williams, they've bought the whole Sauber operation themselves and run the thing according to how they want.

I wouldn't exactly get my hopes up as to their success... but I don't think they'll do horrible. They had one of the top two V10's, and I can't imagine their V8 will be rated behind anyone but ferrari or honda.

But last year's was a dog. It's widely known that BMW didn't put any effort into the partnership through 2005 and that's why they suffered reliability problems and had such crappy top-speeds. Even Mark Webber had a crack at them about it toward the end of the season!
