The way I see it, so many other manufacturers use V6 and they produce a lot of power. I'm not sure why BMW shouldn't use it either.
The I6 is such a smooth engine though in terms of power delivery (both N52 and N55/54).

From my understanding, with the way a V6's firing order is timed, one of the piston moves without another one counter-moving at the same time to offset it's inertia.
I could just be talking out of my ass. Maybe someone can confirm that
