This B58 engine has incredible potential. I have a 2008 bmw 135i it has the N54 engine which is an older generation of their straight 6 turbo and with just bolt ons and a tune has 400hp and 425tq. This new engine is going to be able to put down major power with minor modifications and proper tuning.
n54 owner here pushing over 600 to the tire. Seen plenty in the 700's. Looks like the b58 will be even stronger, high compression, and unbeatable thermal efficiency with that w2a manifold.

That's good numbers! Are the motors above 500 hp suitable for daily driving?

Sure, I daily mine but switch from e85 to 93 occasionally -- mostly run e85. Plenty of people daily their 500+whp bmw's (n54, s55).

Wait til' Real Street, Sound Performance, etc... all get their hands on the new car. It will be a whole different level of performance.

S makes sense, but also easily assumed, and assuming Toyota stick with the BMW nomenclature.

That would really depend on the aftermarket support for the B58 or else they would have already been working on them.

Development times nowadays are super quick....especially in motorsports. Shops have prototyping tools at hand in-house.

This was AMS Performance 9yrs ago:

Yeah, but the 'family' is completely irrelevant to the modular engine naming conventions. :thumbsup:
Yes, but just so we are clear, an “S” motor from a B57 is completely different than a “S” motor from a B58.
