the reality is that BMW has wisely (I think, but time will tell), steered toward a cost-efficient 6 cylinder platform that's still capable of big power.
although I would have wished for a tweaked S65 V8 (I think with direct injection and improved tuning, they could have easily squeezed an extra 50hp out of it with ever-so-slightly improved MPG), and I would have happily paid a significant premium for it (I'm thinking they would have priced it $20k higher), it just isn't the way the wind is blowing these days over in Europe.
