Not quite! It's very confusing that Rolls-Royce Motorcars (now owned by BMW) is nothing whatsoever to do with Rolls-Royce Holdings that owns Rolls-Royce Power Systems (the world's second-largest aircraft engine maker after GE) that was previously called Tognum that owned MTU Friedrichshaven GmbH that owned Detroit Diesel after Penske sold them, or something like that. Essentially, Daimler-Benz is the German company that is/was associated with MTU; MTU's origins go way back to the days of Maybach which is still a Mercedes-Benz luxury brand. So, if the price of Detroit parts is high and getting higher, you can't blame Rolls-Royce Motorcars for that!
Clear as mud? Sorry!

All the MTU dealers are rebranding now as Rolls Royce Power Systems here in the west
Not just MTU.
Parts for anything mechanical are high right now, whether it's a Subaru, Toyota, or a sewing machine.
Not a Detroit part, but I recently replaced the set/resume switch for my cc. 167 plus shipping for a little toggle switch. Choke cough.
