Not like MB saved something. BMW never stopped making I6's, it's kind of been their thing for a minute.
Sure, the 300SL (not R) had a straight six, but much of MB's legacy comes from V8's and I'd actually struggle to think of another memorable car of theirs with a straight six.
Even the new I6 is a middle child for them, you can always get a faster V8 model of anything it's currently offered in.
