It is not impossible of course, but I suspect the PHEV model alone to wear that name. Now, does that mean there will be no M branding on the high output i5? No. In fact, it seems likely at this point. And perhaps it will be named something new and more exciting than simply "i5 M". But not M5, IMHO - not yet. Post 2030? Yes.
///Mi5? Hmmm, hmmm? How 'bout a Fresca?

I think it's entirely possible, when you consider the continent for which BMW resides in. Very liberal when it comes to their environmental standards. If BMW can deliver the power numbers, I think it can happen.
