The S55 will almost surely have Valvetronic like the N55 (and every other BMW gasoline engine from now on in all likelihood). The induction system will differ from both the N55 and N54, possibly by employing multiple multi-scroll turbochargers like an S63/S63Tu (which use two twin-scrolls).

Simply making assertions about the source of information does not improve its legitimacy. Come now, you are smarter than that Levi. Plenty of rumors begin and gain momentum under the same circumstances and yet never pan out.

It gives some hope the for the I6 which would be a fail if it just were a pimped N54 biturbo.

It will not be a "pimped up N54" regardless of whether it has some type of electrically-assisted forced induction or not. In addition to using a more advanced valve-train than the N54 as I said above, we should expect a different induction and turbo setup.
