Dont be naive, the twin turbo 6 is to cut costs and improve the bottom line. Turbo is cheap power.

Fair comment on the low volume.
Thing is you are just anti anything other than V8, not once have you conceded that anything other than V8 could be a good thing. You can say the S55 (or whatever it's name) is born due to costs, and yes of course that is a factor. There would be V8 (S65) backers within BMW (team in charge of the S65), obviously whatever concept they came up with was not as good a package as the N55 derived engine.
