Next Gen Bmw Inline-6 Engine

>>>BMW under-rates their engines ... just like Mercedes.<<<
BMW doesn't tune for peak power...they tune for area-under-the-curve. So there is thrust at all RPMs. So while the peak might not be as high in this example, the fact that the car was pulling earlier in each gear made up for it.
