So instead of paying the typical prices you are accustomed to, you would be willing to pay a premium to have an I6?

There's no reason that BMW couldn't sell and market turbo-4 and NA-6 engines alongside each other just as Mercedes and Audi have done and continue to do. It's a marketing decision by BMW to drop the NA-6 line so that they can tout an "all turbo petrol engine lineup". Don't think it has anything to do with cost.
