I would rather have a V8 making less HP then a 6 cylinder.

WHY EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OKAY

When the BMW 335i came out (twin turbo v6, really similar to the ecoboost) it was quick, but obviously not as quick as the M3.. a few months you would hear on the BMW forums of people in their 335s spanking the new m3s and all it took was a decent tune and maybe an upgraded downpipe/exhaust.

As any BMW guy knows, BMW does not build a V6, turbo or not.

Its an I6 duh

and when they first came out, they had nothing but injector, high pressure pump, and programming problems...

Yeah, right next to the SVT badge.

Oh, wait, that's gone.

Ouch.
