There is a young engineer at the head of BMW, I am hoping he puts things back into perspective and finds a way to bring back what has been lost.

Meh I wouldn't say that. They haven't "shifted" focus really, just expanded the brand.
The reason the more well known engines from BMW aren't on the list is because none of them are new. I'm sure once the B48 and B58 engines are available, they'll be on the list.
Whenever BMW has a new engine it tends to make it onto the list. In 2012 both the N20 and N55 engine made the cut.
