For me, it's the sound. Don't get me wrong. The engines that endeared me to BMW were all fours but I always listened lustfully at a wailing 6, and while the NA4s always sounded great high up in the rev range, the 6 always took home the trophy. So, good on BMW with the new engine but I'm going to miss the sound of the wailing NA6. Come to think of it, I have to start saving to get a an E9XM3 and E6XM5 in my stable as those engines are already dead.
