BMW doesn't make V6 engines. They make Inline 6 engines.

I thought so. Win for me. Fail for... That guy.
I was going to say, "That's only excusable if he's swapped in a -----------------", but couldn't think of any V6 worthy enough to fill in the blank.

GNX motor is all I got.
You know, I can really think of only 1 V6 engine that would really make sense over a I6 engine in an e36.
The Toyota 3.5 V6, Nissan 3.5 V6 and Hyundai 3.7 V6 each put out about 300 HP, but I can't help but think it would be easier and better documented to put in the S54 from the e46 M3.
The only factory forced induction V6 (RWD applications) that I can think of is the VG30DETT and the supercharged 3.2L in the Crossfire SRT6... And frankly, the 3L turbo BMW I6 seems like a better start, not to mention the RB26DETT or Supra Turbo motor.
Finally, since V8s fit in there fairly easily, there really only boils down to 1 V6 that really seems "worth it" at all, and that's the 3.8L turbo V6 from a new GT-R. Unless he's one of those "different just to be different" people.
