Yes, the S55 is identical in mechanics, across the model ranges, with the exception of the ancillary water-injection system in the M4 GTS. I'm just a little worried that they might cut corners, but I more than likely have nothing to really be concern about.

Also, they're already in deep talks about hybridizing their fleet, so all-electric M cars are not too far, on the horizon. One would assume..

So this might possible be one of their last full ICE strait 6 motor.. Who knows :
