Besides that, I doubt a 90 V6 would fit in the F30 engine bay.

Wrong. Regardless of the M3, 90° V6 is build for a certain purpose. With counter-rotating balance shafts a 90° V6 is almost as smooth as an I6. A 90° V6 has many advantages when turbocharged. You'll see that in 2014 in F1. The Honda-McLaren F1 engine is a 1.6l 90° V6.
