IMO the results (performance & mileage figures) would be even better if eg. V8 bi- or tri-turbo diesel was offered instead of V12.
Mind this engine will have very short spotlight period, since both MB & BMW are working on performance multi-turbo V8 diesels (which can easily be paired with MB / BMW mild-hybrid system).
Yes, this engine sure is a milestone ... But for how long?
