As for getting the S68 in the X5/X6, will it only be in the M version or also in the M50i version? I'd assume only in the M version if the new 5 series is skipping the 8-cyl engine (in the non-M version).

8 series are clearly not where BMW is focusing its R&D these days. They're not getting a full scale LCI, their production has been extended past the usual 7 year cycle, I won't be surprised if BMW stops making cars for that segment altogether.
S68 will go into the M Performance cars, not full M ones. At least not yet.
