Idk, actually. Haven't been to all 50, and only spent truly significant time in the south / Midwest.

But I also heard BMW is releasing an S58 (performance ver) next year, why not use that? Or maybe that would be for the GRMN version(if that is even happening)?

I drive that highway daily but am well south of that nightmare. Even at the best of times during rush hour what should be a 10 minute drive there can take well over an hour. Add snow and construction and you may as well bring a tent and camp out.
It is bad enough that there is a TV show about the area. If you ever have a chance give it a watch. Especially anybody that has no experience with driving in the cold or snow. https://www.discovery.ca/Shows/Heavy-Rescue-401

Not sure it is a "win". Luckily I don't have to deal with it often but it is a horrible experience that many do every single day.

Given what Toyota did to the Subaru engines in our car, I highly doubt they're just going to drag and drop the B58 and call it good. I'm sure their engineers are working on massaging as much performance out of that platform as reliably possible. We can speculate that it's going to be the B58 based on the rumors but the final HP numbers will probably be higher than a stock version of that engine.

x2, also the test mule has 255 tires on the front and 275 for the rears. kinda big for just "335hp".
