Will the full powered petrol engine be a Z8 and the innovative hybrid sports car be the i8?

BMW have registered the i1 til i8...

So here I am, having stated that I did not think BMW would ever do a rear engined car, posting links to a BMW rear engined car, but I am not sure if this fully counts in the traditional sense as a rear engined car as the wcar has 3 motors.
