Hey, (new to BimmerPost) Would the G80/2 also receive an "S58TU" with mild hybrid tech/hardware applied from the S68? Or atleast some kind of physical revisions the the power/drivetrain? It would make sense atleast.. Having driven the new Mild-Hybrid ZF8 in the X7 40i and M60i, Id love to see it in the G8x platform. The new e-motor + clutch engagement is both smoother than the torque converter and shift are noticeably more "snappy". Only thing is, you can't exactly brake torque it off the like at about 2k RPM, it sits lower at around 1500RPM and doesn't load up as much.. Only way around that would be to have a launch control strategy similar to the AMG MCT...(?)

And I also assume the G2x would either receive the B58TU2 in "O" or "T" spec late 2023 or early 2024 as part of the post LCi(1) update?
