It's just not possible for that type of engine to compete with an inline six IMHO. The straight six is one of the few perfectly balanced engine configurations in existence.
I am being optimistic that BMW will give us an I4 with TwinScroll or Twin Turbo with wads of torque unlike your typical jap sucker. We all know I6 is king, but BMW may surprise us.
