With the introduction of the new I-6TT found in the M4/3, I dont see BMW planning on a cross plane V8 anytime in the near future. They had a cross plane in the GT2 E92 M3 and went back to the flat plane configuration with the new Z4 GTE. For whatever reason they chose to do this, it wouldn't be predictable for them to attempt a cross plane on a street engine, if the race engine didn't meet their expectations.
Dinan has finally made the switch from the S62 to the S65 in their race cars. It'll be interesting to see how they develop this motor in the years to come.

You're wrong.... You've got it backwards.... They used a flat plane in the M3 and went back to cross plane in the Z4.....
