No V6 YEA

Rejoice not too early

For one has AG-man not to look at the M-GmbH, on the other hand does not provide the basis for the V6.
Builds namely on the S65 and not on the S63Tü ...

Alone proves that the info is not very realistic. Because he would have inside knowledge, then he would know the basis of the V6.
Furthermore, it was just missed by all employees of the M-GmbH, a muzzle. You had to sign, that the mention of the letter "R" (in English I) or "V" will cost the job.
and ... only 5 days after this action arises out an AG-proclaimed funny guy:
"Yes, it will be an I6 in the M3 ..."??

Those who believe a thing like that??

At the moment, a very strange situation!

Even by employees can be heard currently two versions.
One half says i6, the other half says V6! This is an exciting ...

Personally, I was hoping to do the V6, but i think it will be the i6.
3.0 liter (S55)
450 HP
580 Nm
1480 Kg

Why would anyone want a v6? BMW is known for i6 and are arguably the best at it. Not trying to start any thing I really want to hear why some rather have a v.

You talked to an idiot. BMW doesn't make v6.
Only people who are new to BMW can say there is a v6 BMW.
There absolutely no reason to go to V6, other than someone who will feel "better" that's it is something more common.

BMW has a rich tradition of taking an engine, chopping off a couple cylinders for a lighter, more compact version.

M88 > S14
Similarities S85 > S65

There are some packaging advantages to a V6 vs an I6.

Its not as absurd as one might consider to package a turbo V6 with the turbo in the valley, compact, short, helps set the engine further back.

But of course, historically BMW has not done a V6.
