I agree with what someone else said earlier that this inline 6 engine choice would be too close to the main stream 335i for my liking. Even if they went for a dual charger system (turbo + supercharger) would make it different enough to separate it from the rest and give it that instant punch.

Maybe the engine choice isn't that important as long as the end result meets everyones expectations.
What does marketing have to do with the inline 6? BMW chooses it for a reason. If for whatever reason we do get a turbo 6 cylinder I would prefer an inline 6.

Supercharger + turbo is stupid, no reason to do things just to be different for the sake of being different. I prefer efficiency.
