That's just  great for turns, who cares how light the doors are. |
Thanks for bring it on the point, why the F8x gets an V6 !!! 
The lighter you make the car with lightweight components, the harder it is to balance a long i6 with weight measures in the tail.
A compact and short V6 would be the logical solution for a balanced and perfect 50:50 weight distribution in an lightweight M3/M4, even if the V6 will also be heavier than the S65.
Just my 2 cents.
