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.

Yeah I know that these engine wishes are optimistic. We can expect a S63 again or a simple B
line V8 with 4L displacement. I know there is no need for the V10, but it is exclusive unlike the competition power trains. E turbos would be cool, but I can't fathom a V8 again which is going to adopt at least half of the predecessors hardware.
