Arguably the straight six is the sweet spot whether diesel or petrol.
Having owned a M5 (F10) which really has too much power (I am normally like Jeremy Clarkson….more power!) , I have to agree that a straight six with about 400-450hp would be the sweet spot for these cars in the UK.

When you have 500-600hp you get frustrated because you cannot safely use all the potential 99% of the time.
