Kia Stinger overtakes BMW 3.0L inline six

WardsAuto says Hyundai engineers like to compare the new 3.3L twin-turbo V-6 to BMW's excellent B58 3.0L inline 6-cylinder powerplant, ?perhaps unfairly because Munich's mill has less displacement and only one turbo.?

The BMW M240i's 3.0L Turbocharged DOHC Inline-6 won Wards 10 Best Engines last year and it supplanted by the Stinger's 3.3L twin turbo V-6 for 2018. WardsAuto says, ?But give the Koreans their due: The BMW engine, a winner last year, was eligible in this year's competition, and yet it's Kia going home with the hardware.?
