I'd put the odds of a V10 at zero percent on the basis that there is absolutely no need for it.

I would also say eDrive is very low probability because the competition is still using V8s for at least one more generation, and you don't need eDrive with a V8. There's no point in adding it only to increase weight and cost. A future M5 is likely to use Power eDrive with an I6 evolved from today's S55 though.

The only possible surprise I could see is a 91mm bore center 4L V8 - a V8 member of the B* family. If not that, it'll be the next iteration of the S63. There is a chance for electric turbos as someone else mentioned, but I'd guess no.

Twin Turbo V8, or e-drive? Or maybe a low displacement V10?
