Key words here are "entry level" so I'm not going to panic yet.
I'm guessing (maybe it's fact idk) that on the CLAR platform the next generation X5M/X6M/X7M will use the same S68 Hybrid going in the next generation M5/M5T.
Hopefully this translates down the CLAR platform and the next generation X3M/X4M keeps the S58 with some mild hybrid tech.
Neue Classes platform on next generation 3/4 series in 2025 so I doubt the next generation M3/M4 will have the S58. Probably going to be a S48(?) 4 banger with a pair of electric motors. However BMW slices it, it's going to be @600HP.
IMO It's the beginning of the end for ICE but the end won't be here for another 15 years. Regardless, sad to witness.
