Assume that the updated V8 will make its way over to the G05 M50i for MY 2020? Is the V8 the same N63 in the M850i?

the 2020 M550i will receive the new motor - but the current M550i motor I believe is already using a version similar to the M850 as the motor is very underrated and is good for 539hp and 589tq stock as measured by Dinan.
whereas the n63 used in the non-LCI 7 series, 650i, etc, dynos pretty much exactly at the rated power figures in the 450hp range.
still looking for an M850i dyno however as I want to see what they are making.
