No, it refers to the B58 TU. You have to be attuned to BMW marketing-speak which is typically stylized in such a way as to hyperbolize the facts to the absolute highest degree.

The engine is the B58B30O1 which is the new top dog sitting above the B58B30M* (currently M0 {M5 with PPK}, should become M1 with the TU).
