When we look back on all of this V6 hubbub, the thing that strikes me most is how firmly that rumor stuck. Even today, we see people who should know better (enthusiast magazine writers and editors) still getting it wrong. Remember, the rumor originated as a direct quote from a BMW official. I think that this guy (I don't recall his name) was really pretty clever by floating this red herring out there. I know, I know - there are plenty of people who say BMW really was testing a V6 for possible production. Maybe, but I disbelieve. Of course, if spy pics ever come out to prove it I will happily eat my words. In the meantime, I give that guy props for his very effective smoke screen.
