The configuration of an inline 6 is iconic to BMW.
The fact that the N54 and N55 have turbo's does not remove them from that line of engines.

The N54 was based on an earlier NA 3.0 6.
The N55 was the truly new inline 6 turbo as it combined other BMW technologies like servotronic and twin scroll turbo.

These engines are based on the iconic BMW inline 6.
It's not like they are V6's or inline 5's or V4's.
