The V6 engine configuration is the bottom of the barrel out of all the current engine layouts. It has horrible balance!!! (and to the people that think it sounds better, Better than what a sewing machine). Most car companys use them because they are cheaper to mass produce and are a lot cheaper for front wheel drive cars. I could never see BMW actual going this route there is just no way!!! If they actual do change there 6 cyclinder configuration I'd take a flat six or a turbo I-5 before a V6. I see no point in this change, the I-6 is a beautiful engine with a great natural dynamic balance so they rev super smooth all the way to red line. It also has some of the best response and you can really use every rpm throughout the rev range. I am one of the biggest Bimmer or Beemer nuts out there (I have driven BMW's since I was 16 and that's all I've really owned since) and I can honestly say I would never buy a V6 BMW!!!!
