If the M division is making that engine then that could be the replacement for the s63tu. So if they do indeed change out the engine then that m5 might be the G30...

Mercedes has done that with their cars. Bmw has since copied their approach to utilizing a single engine across multiple platforms but never have they introduced a new engine within the same generation. This would be the first time for an M model. And the continuation for diluting the M brand continues!!!
I don't think that is the answer, because the engine isn't what dictates the G or the F. The G or the F is the chassis generation, not the engine generation
