For everyone else, the news is:

F97 X3M (G01 based) and F98 X4M (G02 based) are coming.
Nice to finally hear those confirmed.

Now the speculation about engine choice will heat up. A version of the S55 seems likely, but a new B58-based "S58" M motor also seems plausible. I don't think they'll go with a lightly massaged N55 (or B58 for that matter) non-M motor for these particular vehicles, but I couldn't say it's impossible.

And then of course there is the potential for a Power eDrive solution, but I feel like we're not quite there yet.

Thanks for the updates.
