Froehlich stated this will happen in 2021. He does not speak in terms of model years. Those are a North American construct that most of the rest of the world ignores.

They clearly state that the upcoming i4 and it's ICE grand coupe will have this.
I disagree.

If the 4 Series PHEV launches in the 2021 calendar year, it may have this revision of BMW's CLAR hybrid drivetrain, yes. Unless BMW plans to update the 5 Series PHEV in 2021 or later, a year or more after the LCI, it will not receive this technology.
