Maybe. Ok - probably. But at some point the V8 is likely to become exclusive to the M5 with respect to the 5 Series family. It might not happen for the G3x but I would say its pretty likely for the following generation. The I6 will be at 400hp by then and may even be paired with some sort of hybrid assist as standard equipment.

I haven't seen anything confirming it, but it can't be ruled out yet either.
Going to a 750i... Nothing like a V8!
