Right, and that's not a problem for a 3L motor. Just like 2L turbo I4 can make 300hp today (and a decade ago).

I understand the objections...
Objections are one thing, but there are many reasons why a V6 doesn't make sense (I won't rehash here though). Anyway, latest is that they indeed settled on the I6.

Personally, I think it makes a lot more sense than the very long I6,
It'll be the same size as BMW's other I6 engines.
