I've got more bad news for you. It's reeeeealy hard to fit an I6 in an engine bay sideways. The UKL platform, being FWD, uses a transverse engine orientation. This means no B58.

EDIT: This assumes it will be built on the UKL platform. It's still in concept phase, so I have no idea if that's confirmed. The X1 is built on UKL, so that's why the assumption is being made.
