I understand technology and efficiency and equal performance with less cylinders but is anyone else just plain sad that the NA inline 6 is gone?

I really think bmw underestimated how much the amazing SOUND of their I6 engine was really responsible for so much of the enjoyment of driving the car for the true driver. I grew up loving and wanting an inline 6. I loved the mechanical sound. I never will forget my first I6 in n52 form. 255hp , 7k rpm and the sweetest engine sound. To think that will never be heard again is a bit sad. In retrospect I should have kept that car.
