A shocking number of people have viewed my post about my second first world problem this week, the fact I had to drive my M3 to work today because my 328i is in the shop. I mentioned something about a coil going on my inline 6, to that, several people in the grays have mentioned that the E9X M3, in fact, has a V8. For example:

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

I’ve dismissed the rest. Side note, the dismiss feature is one of my favorite features of Kinja.

I would assume most regular opponauts would know that I own both a 328i and an M3, but the people who see this in passing won’t know that and assume that I don’t know I have a wonderful S65B40 under my hood. I’m glad oppo isn’t mainstream, this makes me happy that it’s still a pretty small close knit community.

I’m sure your situation is pretty uncommon, IMO the misunderstanding is understandable

You mean it has a V6, right? Aren’t BMWs known for their V6s?

We have some angry lurkers. If you need proof, just say something bad about diesels.

Making the mistake is pretty easy.  Most people around here regularly would probably read first before getting snarky, or at least apologize once the mistake is pointed out.  The hit ‘n run trolls won’t, though.

I dunno, maybe they’ve moved to turbo  V4s like everybody else

Or start the manuals vs. automatics debate back up.

BMWs do not make V6 engines - they make inline 6s which are  different

I’m sure bmw does not make V6s - they make in-line 6s

3 valve, 2 banks, 8 cylinders.

That’s what the numbers mean yes?

That’s what the dealer said when I bought a used 335i off their lot.

BMW has never installed a V6 in a production car. They've made some but only for Prototype and testing. They are known for straight sixes.

I mean, to be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to be popular on Oppo...
