Most peoples problem is simply with BMW's long standing heritage and what a V6 would spell---- the end of the inline 6 altogether.
The electromechanical mounts would be an interesting touch especially since this would be a performance application. I know Porsche uses something similar in the GT3 but it would be a first for BMW.
What about the use of mechanical balance shafts? Could those be retro-fitted?
