I didn’t read in the BMW Blog the X5/X7 M50i was replacing the X5/X7 50i. Was that reported?
Sure they did... as the previous gen M5 was also offered with the competition package. The E46 M3 came with or without competition package in 2005 & 2006. BMW has been playing this game for years...

Yes, it is expected as BMW simply cannot justify two V8 models (50i & M50i). There is only one X3 and X4 model with a six cylinder (M40i), only one V8 model for the 5 and 8 which are both M50s.
