I guess not, since I can't even find speculation online, but I sincerely hope that it means a switch to a 800v architecture and faster charge times. I may be ready to order before the announcement but I feel like waiting to find out, since a few months wait feel worth it if we get a much better EV for the long term.

Don't count on 800V for the current EVs. That's most likely going happen for NK models. Most likely they may increase the energy capacity of the battery packs, ie, i3 went from 22kw to 33 kw to 42kw (gross). I would hope that BMW increases the existing battery energy by a small amount as they improve the battery chemistry but not switch from 400v to 800v in the current models.
ynguldyn already posted some info on the possible i4 EM update, the M50 is going to be M60 with 590hp.
