That is probably pretty true.
4.4 liter v8 = 4400cc/8 = 550 per cylinder
3.3 liter v6 = 3300cc/6 = 550 per cylinder
I would think the V angle would be a problem though. If BMW is developing 3 cylinder engines with the use of advanced balance shafts maybe they aren't too phased by the problem though.
I am concerned that this would impact its "free/high" revving nature though.
