If they do use a Modified B58 version to power the next M3, S58, i wonder if it will have any new tech that we can actually use and feel as a driver.

The S55 already has the B58's closed deck, mechanical pump with map thermostat, multiple electric coolant pumps, indirect charge air cooling, arc sprayed cylinder liners and etc.
There has been changes to vanos location to the rear but same principle operation, and there also has been changes in the B58 to a valvetronic4 but again, about the same operating principle with nothing ground breaking there.

The S55 is based off the N55, but also took alot of the B58's tech prior to its release..
My guess is there is gonna be a even smaller change from the B58 to the S58, compared to the N55 to S55 changes.
