IMHO No matter what I do "sell it or show it to the rest of the world" they will win.

Let's use F1 for an example of this. On the 2014 Hybrid engine rules. The FIA chose to make it where they couldn't use an "Active Pre-Chamber" with their approve DI. They said it would be too costly for the OEM's. BS!!! The teams have spent way more money on the "Passive Pre-Chambers" due to its lack of ability by its poorer design to direct the DI injection fuel into the Passive Pre-Chamber. IMHO this is BS and is/was to keep the ICE efficiency down because the improvements would be way more then they want to pass onto the OEM's.
F1 is tied to big oil producers and automobile producers are in bed with big oil producers. My point is I'm just a high school graduate no body that has an obsession with 4-cycle ICE engines that made a way more efficient engine then they have ever made for their customers. The OEM's already have all the technology and lots more than what I have done. They could make a way more efficiency ICE then they have now.

So, if I choose to go the route of making kits or a DIY type of deal, they could make my life miserable with patent conflicts etc. So, in short, I don't trust any automobile manufacture including BMW.
