Oh, the 50i would be powerful enough for me as well but what we already know for a fact is that there will be no 50i for MY20 - so the only choice would be M50i.
I used to drive an E60 M5 and it's quite amazing how far these engines got since then. The G05 50i is actually faster than my former M5 and a better value as well. My fully loaded M5 was $100K 12 years ago and if you consider what features/technology/performance you get today on the G05 50i for the same $100K, call me impressed!
Now, on an SUV, I don't think the M50i with 530HP would leave me with much desire to go for the real X5M. That's probably where the SUV-limitations kick in at some point and where you start paying just for the badge.
