IMO if BMW wants to make a V6, they should design a new block with 60 degree V angle. Otherwise a V6 with 90 degree V angle will sound worse and vibrate more than the Japanese competitors, eg. Nissan GTR.
I would also prefer if BMW would make a smaller capacity turbo six for the 1 series and non-M models. In my usage, the N55 gets better fuel efficiency than the 2.5 litre naturally aspirated N52, so I expect a 2.5 litre turbo six would be the most efficient of all. I will never buy a BMW with a 4 cylinder.
