BMW's won't be worlds better. But as the VAG example shows, you don't need the world's greatest engine to garner lots of sales. But you do have to build the cars that most people want. Unfortunately for enthusiasts, it seems that more people actually want a four cylinder engine rather than a naturally aspirated I6.
