Last time I checked cylinder configuration literally has nothing to do with the amount of power produced. The M3 is not about drag racing. It never has been, and I hope to god that it never will be. Also, it comes down to tradition. The only people that are okay with a V6 BMW (let a lone V6 M car) are new to the brand. And really the only reason that other manufacturers have switched to V-6's are because they are more compact and cheaper to make. Not because the perform better.
