If I’m not mistaken, an inline-six would be longer than a V10 (which is essentially five-cylinders long).
And there are plenty of good-sounding V6 engines in the world, not sure why you think the inline-six would make a difference.

Great response. I haven't noticed a lot of V6 sounds, but I do remember driving the Dodge Challenger V6 I rented a couple of weeks ago in a travel. It didn't sound great. Didn't sound horrible, but nothing like the BMW's I-6 that I have heard.
Maybe the Dodge wasn't the greatest example of a good V6 sound.
