Why flat 6 is better than inline 6 ?

>>17598297
it's not, Porsche is just stuck with them because mu racin pedigree
and subaru is stupid enough to fall for the flat/boxer meme

>>17598297
Too hard to work on though

>>17598319
This, big pain in the ass

>>17598297
because it's shorter and allows for a lower center of gravity
I6 is superior in every other regard tho

>>17598297

>My Car : Cayman S
> 6 Flat / 3.4 L / 0 Turbo / 295 HP

>Friend Car : 135 i
> 6 Inline / 3.0 L / 2 Turbo / 306 HP

The BMW stock HP is a shame with twin turbo...

>>17598373
>thinks twin turbo means more peak power

>>17598373
>135i

It's fwd, that is the real shame

>>17598319
>>17598325
You're both lying, shit easier to work on than an Inline 4

you're engine has 1/7 more displacement
tell your friend "you're carfu a shit, theirs no displacement for displacement, cuck"

Ah but that makes sense, the chinese need fwd so that they don't kill themselves. Look what happened to the koenigseggs that got imported there.

there is more, that's just one example from a thread where it was posted along this pic
the author of that memeball is the italian guy but I have a lot too, and BMW fangirls were really triggered. The fact that the M3 can't compete with the Alfa Giulia makes them ultra-butthurt and they bring up stuff like the M4 GTS which has some exotic tech and is more expensive than the Viper ACR-X while being slower

>>17598297
lower COG, better balance.
But really, its the companies that make the engines that make the engine good; if only GM made a v8, then v8s would be considered bad.
>>17598312
why Porsche and Subaru constantly win in their divisions, cuz they're bad right?

>>17598439
>better balance

Huh, those two models do look alike. What car even is that? That is probably the ugliest car bmw has ever made.

Look, I love the shit out of bmw, always have since I can remember. That being said I still like other car companies and can appreciate them.

Alfas are cool too, I don't like how they look but I know they're good on the inside and most of the interiors are beautiful too. The quadrifoglio? Yep that is a pretty fast car, but the m3 has an inline 6 and exterior that I prefer. That giulia v6 is one of the best sounding v6's I've ever heard though.

Not here to get into an autistic pissing match about lap times or whatever, I just like talking about euro cars in general. Don't know why people get engaged in that but anyway to each their own.

Oh and part of it is also that BMW and German car companies in general (specially VAG) are specially dishonest and spread lies about Italian products. Unless they buy them, of course. Then they become the best automatically. It's the German corruption that we find so revolting.

Any 6 cylinder could achieve this, if you're willing to spend the money.

>>17598505

Flat engines sit higher irl so the cog thing is irrelevant marketing.

>>17598297
shorter

The perfect solution is clearly to mount an i6 sideways, someone patent this

>>17598573
>nu-BMW is a joke and I hate what they've done with the brand

Yep the cars are getting pigfat and losing character, they're focusing only on competing with benz instead of having a brand identity

>>17598577
you're fucking retarded

>>17598714
only 26 psi

>>17598522
Exhaust headers and wet sump they raise the engine because of this and it's on par with a V or inline engine.

>>17598852
Then why does my WRX scrape?

>>17598863
Probably because you ruined it by stancing it.

You can get 700 hp out 911 turbo cheaper, and probably more reliably, than you can out of the Ford gts ecoboost 3.5.

List the torque.

oh wait

300 lb-ft

But then again we are talking about an under-tuned mall hopper econo box, and comparing it to a wealthy salon owners status symbol.

There's room for growth on both platforms.

With a lift, I've found that working on my Boxster is a hell of a lot easier than a lot of other modern cars. I may have to lean over the car more or have to have it in the air, but I can get to everything pretty easily once I actually know how to do it.

>>17598694
Lmao, only 700 hp? The divergent blade uses a bored and stroked EVO X motor, 2.4L pushing 720 hp

See? I can ignore overbuilding for boost too

I ceased liking them after the E30/E34/E32/E31. They used to be so remarkably distinct and so aggressive looking and then they became bland. I kinda like the M2 though, seems like they're trying to make BMW great again after all.

bmw add more numbers when turbo'd
>e23 745i - 3.2l turbo
>The name 745i comes from the theoretical assumption that turbocharged engine have approximately 1.4 times more power than naturally aspirated engines. By this assumption, a 3.2 litre (3205cc) turbocharged engine would have similar power to a 4.5 litre (4487cc) naturally aspirated engine.
