But never mind - the point is that, by that time, BMW will be moving away from the N55 in nearly every other application. I have no inside information, but it seems odd to me that they would use it for an M car at that point in its lifecycle.
Having said that, I have an N55 in my F10 and I think it is wonderful.

Nevermind the fact that you're grossly inflating the timeline in order to support your point?
Yes, BMW is moving away from the N55 in their mainline production, but remember when the 1M used the N54, even though the N55 was already developed?
The B58 hasn't hit the streets yet, so same game plan here. Use what you know.
