Why aren't inline 6s more common in modern sports/pony cars? They just seem so perfect

Longer crank, cams and head.

you had your chance

No i doubt the v6 would be lighter they would weigh in the same v6 are more complex you're now working with 2 heads so now you need another timing chain and gears, add balance shafts and counterweights or you'll vibrate itself to destruction, etc. that's why i6 are easier/simpler to work also why even that 3.5l ecomeme engine isn't even lighter

>Daily reminder that the best BMW's have V engines, not inline shit.

You very clearly have never driven a bmw with either of those engines or are trolling. BMW makes horrible V8 engines, and the V12 is literally two I6s stapled together which makes it twice as good as the already great I6 engine.

Boy I sure do hate torque and efficiency

They make poor horsepower and they’re heavy while also being fragile

You'd have a point if we were talking about a pickup truck engine.
