And for the public they would tell us it was because of tradition.
But tradition of BMW M was innovative engines ... and really innovative was for me only the V6 because it was really compact with great packaging advantages for better handling.
And forgot that BMW allows the M-GmbH to develop an complete new engine ... its simply too costly!
