A 60 degree V6 allows a lower center of gravity than even the canted BMW I6 and a 90 degree V6 which has been rumored would offer even more benefit.
Honestly, at a time when lots of folks cry that the M5 has a version of the X5M motor which is close to the regular 4.4L V8, and the 1M has the 335is motor, it seems like offering a bespoke M motor would be seen as a good thing, even if it isn't as classic as an I6.
