But, this is purely a hypothetical engine config... Doubt BMW will go down that route. But if they do, SOLSTICE was the first to suggest it here
Yes, but as the engine started out in Turbo format, you would have to do a heap of work to get it to 458 output standard. This type of work is not really required to get 400-450hp out of a 3 litre.

Would it be worth it?

Much cheaper to slot in an S65 engine and DSG unit.
