The inline six is the only engine arrangement that is perfectly balanced.
They don't need harmonic balancers to cancel out rocking motion
like V arrangements and large inline 4 cylinder engines.
This smoothness is often attributed to their longevity.
It's a shame they don't put them in cars anymore.
Unless BMW is still making them.
