V6 engines are more compact, more rigid but also more prone to vibrations even with counter balancing shafts.

So the V12 in the M760li should be able to drop into the F30? That would be one fast straight line car, but maybe not so much in the twisties. Maybe with x-drive you can get 0-60 in the 2's but would need the transmission from that car as well as the diff.
