Most of them will be mild hybrid though, not like the heavyweight champion G9x.
G84 M3 will be S58 with mild hybrid powertrain.
That may actually be a Good thing

Right before having my ‘25 M3 G81, I drove an X5 M60i for a year. It had the S68 V8 powerplant with some mild hybrid goodies

The switch makes the S58 feel ancient in some respects (auto start stop for example); and interestingly fuel efficiency is almost the same, despite the displacement, weight and form factor differences. This last thing blows my mind, frankly
