I believe what you're hearing is something that the Car & Driver guys dislike about this car, "a lack of harmony in the engine compartment."

and its only car and driver who always says the bmw is more refined than the G.. those old fogies are more biased than Jim Crowe... its just the sound of the motor.. ive owned many nissans and that how they roar.. i dont see it as a bad thing i guess becuase im used to it and the fact the this V6 and different versions of it has one top ten motor awards for 13 years running.

In-line 6's are more expensive and complex to build.. but because of the firing order and the long crank shaft.. they are inherently smooth running, also more expensive to build and they take up more space..
The V6 is more compact and cheaper to build... not near as smooth in operation especially the larger displacement designs.
