If true that likely means the difference in power between the M50 and M60 is small, and the difference in power between xDrive50 and M50 is zero.

I say this because, while I realize we don't have the numbers for the i4 yet, at this point it seems a forgone conclusion that the M50 model will employ the 523PS (515hp) setup that was previewed in the Concept i4 and which has been the subject of rumors going back years. And, it now appears that the iX xDrive50 will use that same setup, while the iX M60 gets less than 10% more power.

We don't know battery capacities, so those could still be further (more significant?) differentiators between these various new model names. Still, this is disappointing. With the M60 setup also headed for the G70 7 Series, I was hoping for more - 600hp at the very least to sort of pick up where the V12 left off (as the name M60 might imply). I suppose we'll have to wait for M70 or M80 or some-such for that.
