Given that we are seeing the S68 in the current X7 and the new 750ix, I'm surprised that we are also not seeing it in the 8 series before it goes out of production.
As for getting the S68 in the X5/X6, will it only be in the M version or also in the M50i version? I'd assume only in the M version if the new 5 series is skipping the 8-cyl engine (in the non-M version).
