Actually, I'd be extremely surprised if we ever see i5 M on the back of a BMW. That model designation would mean nothing to no one. I think we'd probably see a M5i.
With BMW of the past I'd 100% agree, but with BMW of today willy nilly throwing out traditions out the window like they are worthless, i wouldn't be so sure...
BMW marketing department will find a way to twist it

Agreed. While not really the same, I was really surprised when they designated M4 as the coupe and vert and reserved M3 as the sedan only. Seemed like a really odd choice to me.
