Nope. Definitely more problematic and a PITA to work on. But, as crystalworks says, the driving experience makes up for it. My mechanic had the I6 and I used it for the day while he fixed mine. Merging on the highway was a different experience for sure. When I got back, I tossed him the key and said something was wrong with the engine. He panicked a bit. Then I told him when I looked under the hood it seems to be missing 2 cylinders. Not hating the 6's, trust me, my track car is a 98 328i. I love it, but when you stack it up against the swaps or M3's, or worse, a V8 M3, it shows that tired I6 a wee bit . That being said, she does tip the scales quite light, so I can hang with most of the M3's at Mosport - except for up the back straight...then it sucks.
