BMW are known for making some of the (if not the) best 6 cylinder engines in the world. There's a reason why the M140i can out pull an A45 once at three digit speeds.

Yet the coolest cars BMW make (or are about to) from all corners are denied the 6 pot. This new gran coupe won't get it. The next 1er won't. No hybrid models seem to have it (except the short lived ActiveHybrid 3) and even the flagship i8 has never been given it. The move to FWD on smaller models is controversial too.

Basically BMW's USPs are being eroded in front of our eyes. So back to this topic I'm left with the question why not just buy a more practical Golf R, or the fire cracker that is the new RS3...
