As for the title of the newspost, who came up with G90? It is definitely called F90.
And will have a 4.4l V8 with 608ps
With the added heft and grip that will come with AWD, it will be unwise for BMW to limit themselves to 600BHP.

In the past M used shatter all the HP milestones with each gen of cars. Today with 600 they are merely match what the market offers in terms of performance envelope. With the C class reaching 577 BHP, are they under the illusion that the next gen competitors will hold at 600 as well?

I think with the turbo tech pushing well beyond the 600 mark reliably is relatively easy and cheap so why hold back?

Also; in all clean mobility tech, BMW has led the way from diesels through electrification so they easily get away with a few M nice cars to keep us petrol heads happy.
