I agree with UUronL,
There seems to be something special about a turbo INLINE 6 that would be uniquely BMW....and I think it would garner a lot of praise and media...turbo car's are hot right now...

Turbo engine is good for straight line dragging, but if it's a single turbo u have to always be in the right gear at the right time at the correct rpm to spool the turbo and get the most thrust...if not...turbo lag=almost no acceleration.
For me the best engine for all round racing is the high revvy NA engine.
Despite the fact that i drive this diesel i found out that this one actually drives IDENTICAL to a NA petrol (scaled down to 5000rpm) engine. Turbo lag is gone both at idle rpms and at max rpms also.
