Normally aspirated engines will be a thing of the past in the next few years. With the new fuel economy requirements, BMW needs to find a way to get higher MPG while maintaining performance. Dropping a couple of cylinders and adding a turbo allows them to keep the same power but achieve higher fuel mileage. The 4-cyl turbo will replace the normally aspirated 6-cyl, etc.
It's sad to see the legendary I6 go away, but its what BMW has to do in order to meet the requirements that have been set by the government.
