If this were to be true, there are a few ways it can be done:
1) 90 degree V6 with reverse flow and inboard turbos (based on S63)
2) 60 degree V6 with reverse flow and inboard turbos (Based on S63)
3) 60 degree V6 with conventional flow (possibly based on S65 head design)

1 is unlikely because a 90 degree V6 has the poorest balance of all. 2 is also unlikely due to limited space. To me the only viable option is 3, which is the conventional configuration for a V6 found in so many Japanese cars. Does anyone not agree with my logic?

In spite of all this, the inline 6 is obviously the best choice for a BMW.
