Maybe it

I also think that F90 sounds a little silly, but according to this link, I think this comment is the right inference:

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!!!
