The problem with a V6 M3 is pedigree.
911=flat6

M3=I-6
Lambo=V12
AMG=V8
Some cars just wouldn't be what they are today without pedigree (racing history plus sticking to what defines THE car.)

There is only one real ///M3 and it had an I4. The next two with the I6 were just follow ups from ///Marketing, and the last one needed a V8 because the vehicle has become ///Massive. They might reset the heritage with a bespoke engine for the turbo DTM car one day and provide another vehicle with ///Magic, but don't count on it.
one I4
two I6
one V8
one TT?
