BMWs do not run V6 engines. They're inline-6. Though either configuration can conveniently run exhaust systems that never have two cylinders in sequential firing order dumping into the same pipe.

Sixxers with the right exhaust have a distinctive sound all their own. What GM did years ago might be an example of what not to do.

Designers of Subaru exhaust systems have to be careful, lest under some conditions the car end up sounding like an early 40-HP VW Beetle.
