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.

Since the S66 (when he will have the name) was derived from S63TÜ is probably more likely 90 °.
Furthermore, the V6 offers only advantages!
-better weight distribution
-flatter hood and front-end
-better thermals
-better response
-Differentiation from the 335i, because we do not fool: Soon to be the first tuned 335i (F30) to drive around and can not be faster than an M3, and must be differentiated
