Most people here are concerned with whether or not the newer and (significantly) higher output engine will carry an equally significant price premium. A better and more relevant comparison would be the percentage, not absolute, price difference between the European spec. 840i and the M850i.
I don't disagree however that the M50i won't carry a significant premium over the M Sport 50i xDrive since both will essentially occupy the same spots on the X5 hierarchy.

And I argued, not necessarily since an engine upgrade that replaces an existing engine can come with no price increase as seen with the 2020 7 series as an example. The 2019 to 2020 750 increase is the same as for the 2020 740i that has no engine upgrade. It’s just a new 7 series generic price increase no additional charge for the V8 upgrade.
