That is a ridiculous point of view considering the E36 and E46 M3s both had naturally aspirated I6s, just like their non-M counterparts, and the E30 M3 had a
4-cylinder compared to the non-M I6 325i! It's about all around performance, not cylinder count. I'm glad BMW is getting back to that formula.
