I also tried to figure out what Scotts two posts about the engine/powertrain beeing a hybrid could mean:

And when I mean Hybrid do not think of the current meaning of "Hybrid" - ie Alternative power , Electricity etc.... and use the original meaning of hybrid.
" When Two seperate entities become one".
Remember BMW evaluate every idea to determine what is the solution?

If it's not a straight-forward transplant it could also be based on the N54 with some modifications like larger turbos, changed manifold, changed air intake system, changed/better inter-cooler.
Still trying to figure out how it's possible to feed the 4 intakes of 2 twin-scroll chargers from 6 cylinders ...
