Lower purchase price
Lower repair costs

Less weight, therefore better handling
Better fuel efficiency in the real world (EPA dyno tests are not a realistic comparison)
Smoother engine with better secondary balance
The sound of an inline six at revs
The chance to own an iconic engine design, the BMW inline six

Not that the V8 is bad. It just isn't a BMW inline six.
