Fives are smoother.......oddly.
Sixers tend to be even smoother if running right..
Fives are naturally unbalanced, yet tend to be smooth..![]()
Sometimes with the aid of balancer shaft(s).Sixers tend to be even smoother if running right..

V6's are only smooth with 120 degree crank throws.In a 4 stroke engine, anything with more than 4 cylinders has a power overlap, it can't not have.
6ers and 12ers are inherently smooth by nature due to the power output being nicely spaced throughout the full 360 degrees of revolution.
I do agree however that 5ers do have a nice sound to them. The Audi Quattro rally cars were my first experience of that and I wanted one badly when I was young!
Smoothest engine I ever drove was a DKW 3 cylinder 2 stroke, great exhaust note too. The downside was the smoke trail it left behind.In a 4 stroke engine, anything with more than 4 cylinders has a power overlap, it can't not have.

Anyhow, I thought BMW's 6cyl were supposed to be the smoother engines??
On a 5cyl like the Volvo and VW units maybe...
