But IF ... then the same misprint two times !!!
And this magazin is "the german source" in case of sportcars, and why they should say V6, when all quotes I6, if they have no infos about this!?

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.

Okay I also think it would be an I6, but some technical details make more sence if it would be an V6.
And if the engine description is really S55B30TO ... what do that meen?
I think it meens
only next M-branch 6-cylinder engine after S54 this could be an I6 but also theoretical an V6.
