Heat issue is the problem when adding a turbo charge on I6 engine, 335i was a good example and it ran lean mode on the track all the time. M3 is a pure racer on the track, heat is the big issue to concern when using I6 twin turbo engine. The heat problem in the fifth and sixth cylinders are the big headache. Therefore, I see no surprise BMW going to use the V6 turbo on the New M3. I think this is the main reason, I guess !
Nonsense!

The M3 gets a straight six-cylinder 3.3 liter engine!
