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.
50:50 is only perfect in BMW marketing talk. In general, a rearward weight bias is preferable for handling dynamics.
