Interesting perspective as the best E30 (M3) had a 4 cylinder, and I see more E21 and E30 cars on the road with four cylinders than sixes. Pointing out the resemblance of BMW's headquarters to a particular type of engine seems redundant.
I'm not arguing the benefit of a straight six to a four cylinder, but using the E30 as your reference seems odd. Next you'll be extolling the V12 E Type.
