Though, I'm still irked if they call it an M4, but I'm willing to accept that so long as the engine for the most part stays true to BMW's heritage.

NO ... I think an TriTurbo engine for the new F8x M3/M4 is very unlikely ... the TriTurbo-concept is for the M Performence petrol M.50d models only. Posts in the net of an TriTurbo-System with an third elektric driven Turbo are an misunderstanding of the BMW patented "eTurbo-System", were conventional turbos were driven by an E-Motor by low rpm to avoid lag.
According to my infos the new F8x gets an N55 based "S55" with probably 2 turbos (or 4!?) ... depends on how you define the TwinScroll-Turbosystem.
