        Not being a dick so I want you to read this in a cool calm voice in your head.

        "BMW have never made a V6."

          Guy is probably new with BMW's. Different engine swap isn't really easy. You need to source out different compatible parts and requires modifications here and there. If you are pretty new into this and haven't tinkered with cars that much, just replace it with the same engine (m42) and call it a day.

          M42's aren't really that slow. I have a 318 and its pretty perky is you ask me. reliable too :)
