I am by no means a guru, but if the inline 6 is such a "neanderthal", why do
BMW and others still use this type of engine?

LOL!

Don't know much about engines do you?

The 'only' reason Chrysler would dump it is because it lasts too long.
Like the old slant 6, they wouldn't die either so Chrysler stopped
making them.

One of my 'old tired' 6's has 300K on it and still burns less that a
liter between oil changes.
