This might not be as much of an issue if they use a second battery like the recent released confirmed they'll be doing in the M440. |
For one, it's a big IF, because we can't assume it is being mass implemented, as evidenced by the lack of it with new petrol B48 G22.
Secondly, 48V at current stage is not able to fill torque gap for a laggy 500hp application.
Lastly, a previous report on G87 M2 says it will get a mild hybrid at some point of its life circle. If the G80 gets it at debut, no reason for the G87 not to get it at launch which is at least 2 years after G80.
There is hope though I'm not holding breath for it that BMW works out a TU for the S58, whatever tech (DBB, TI turbine, shorten manifold...etc) it takes, it has to fix the responsiveness issue.
The A45 used to be the laggiest modern turbo car in the market, now it's improved and gets both low end and top end. I just can't imagine bmw is falling behind in this regard on the S58, which seems to be the laggiest turbo bmw of all time, almost drive like having a big aftermarket hybrid turbo. Responsiveness has been bmw's strong suit...
