I don't understand why so many folks are that bothered with the fact that it's a four banger.
I mean, sure BMW is known for their i-6, but times change. If they are able to get more power out of a smaller, lighter engine, that gets better fuel economy, that's a win/win. If oil one day hits $10/gallon or electric vehicles become the new norm do you think it makes economical sense for anyone for BMW to still produce an i-6? We might as well be still using carburetor with this mindset.
As long as the same or greater performance can be achieved, it's a-okay in my book.
