So what's the latest "rumor" on the 550i/M550i as far as engines, timelines, etc?

If it's not on these order sheets, based on how BMW normally operates, does that mean it will come out a little after (e.g., midyear, or next model year)?

I admit I have not followed the distinction between MXXX and M Sport — is the MXXX designation basically more M equipment beyond just the body/appearance, but not enough to be an M vehicle? What would the realistic difference (aside from engine, and perhaps some standard and optional performance features) end up being between something like a hypothetical G30 M550i and the F90 M5, vs the differences between the current F10 550i M Sport and F10 M5?

On that topic, why do the next generation 5 Series and M5 have different body designations (G30 and F90)?
