There actually is discussion on this. It's interesting to think outside of the box and have a little fun with it.
The S63TU isn't "the same" and the TU2 is adapted for the F85/86 with ZF Automatic.
What's most likely? Same layout as M550i and M760i but with:
Improved Getrag Dual Clutch 7DCIxxx (current M's use 7GDCI700 - AWD configuration has been optional since its introduction). ZF Torque Converter Automatics don't like engine speeds above 7000 rpm.
Latest Intelligent Diff Systems from GKN incorporating M5 specific ProActive functions tied into the Vehicle Dynamics and Safety Systems.
