I'm shure you did not want to express this in your argumentation... but you're absolutely right! For achieving these ambitious goals a V6 would be the more intelligent, more obvious and more sensible way to do it!
Unfortunately the main key fact nobody discussed yet: If we get a capacity beyond 3L (and I was told so, so were many other in Germany with good contacts into the M/GmbH), we won't get an I6! We won't get a turbocharged S54... Quite simple, isn't it?
