Greetings from Germany.
Yes, that’s a good point, it is expected to be a PHEV like all contemporary BMW hybrids. Theoretically you could test some components of the ICE setup separately, but I don’t know if they ever do.

Either way, a quad exhaust definitely suggests a high performance model. I’ve long wondered whether engine downsizing would eventually lead BMW place the high output I6, typically exclusive to smaller M vehicles, into larger vehicles instead of a V8. I’m not saying that’s what this is, but it’s another possibility.
