Re: Straight-6 vs V6 engines
According to very well researched individuals with an exceptional amount of time on their hands, IL6 is totally selfish, has no regard for human lives, only to be used by BMW and V6 rocks as its used in the super car - GS300, the choice of a true knowledgable enthusiast.
Somebody slap me pls.

IL-6 takes up more engine bay space and typically more expensive to produce.
Hence in the example like BMW...u will see that the engine is longitudinally mounted behind the front axle. It's supposed to give a better distribution of weight towards the rear.
