I was talking about the more "run of the mill" V6 people would generally think of. 325i's, 330i's

I don't think anyone who would think 325i or 330i when thinking about run of the mill V6's is worth listening to

Point taken. Naturally Aspirated 6 cylinder engines, in whatever layout configuration, that you would reasonably expect to see on a daily basis? Does that work better for all the pedants on here?

I agree the FTO was slow for a V6

 

[NVP]

Ah the famous BMW V6

Hah

Porsche? I get 0-60 in 4.2s and 35mpg.

Hahahaha, that was great.

There are plenty of N/A V6 cars which are both faster than my V8 and better on fuel. 350Z for example. They make similar power too. E46 330i is probably quicker and better on fuel too, being an I6.

Hahahaha, that was great.

Agree, apparently a pedant for pointing out his mistake though I think the cylinder layout of an engine is more than a minor detail..........

 

[kaptainmarc]

V6's are slow?

this hits me and my 370z right in the feels.



new exhaust fitted last weekend, sounds how it should have now.

My 3.0i Z4 with its old M54 straight six engine manages 0-60 in a claimed 5.7 seconds and i've quite easily done 40+mpg in it, or just driving it normally easily gets 30+mpg from it.

Invidia?​

 

[adam cool dude]

RB26 and 2JZ 6 cylinder engines are some of the best ever made.

Invidia?​

yeah Invidia N1

V6's I don't. Too slow for the fuel consumption.

I'm mostly pretty happy with the 3L V6 in my Navara - won't lie I occasionally wouldn't mind a little more edge in acceleration but most of the time it gets a 2+ ton truck moving as quickly as is sensible, way way smoother than the 4 pots and gets 30MPG unless you drive it with all the finesse of a caveman.

In modern terms in the Golf VR6 the "V6" is a bit odd as compared to today's performance it isn't amazing while guzzling fuel like a V8 but then you wouldn't really get a V8 in that.

Beautiful, It's expected of you to post a sound clip up.

Something wrong with your right foot, friend? 35 mpg seems very high to me!

Anyway, we’re only hating on V6s, so we’re safe I think.

Nope, I can just behave from time to time!

 

[naefeart]

I love my v6

 

[acemastr]

V8 FTW
