I seldom see complaints on switch from I6 to V8 when E9X made debute. Where was the I-complex at that moment?

Because BMW has marketed the I6's advantage. We love the I6. We have driven V-6's and we still want an I6. BMW has never made a V-6 engine. They have only made an I4, I6, V8, V10, V-12, and they did a one off V-16. So yes there is tradition in the brand. The I6 is one of the traits that separates BMW from the competition.
There was some bitching about the E90 M3 if I recall. But it was still a high-revving NA engine derived from motorsports. The new F80 M3 will not be high revving NA engine, and it isn't derived from a race car. And I don't know if it will ever be used to race. DTM isn't turbo (I think), and LMS/ALMS are only turbo for diesels.
I am curious. How long have you had a BMW?
