Even with direct injection and more displacement, an I6 will not get the kind of mileage improvements BMW is going to be forced into making (for legislated and marketing reasons). It'd be easier to just direct inject the current S65 for a 10% or so improvement, but that will not be enough.

I agree that the high-revving and response charecteristics are why I love this car and I'm not anzious to see it change.
