I believe all of BMW's B58's will/have benefited if true. Think about this, they started collaborating in 2012, the B58 wasn't released until 2015. Highly likely if what Tada has said in interviews is true that toyota may have helped out with quality stuff. Its been said in interviews that BOTH Toyota and BMW learned something from one-another during testing. Toyota saw how much actual road testing, etc BMW did and BMW saw how much quality testing Toyota did on individual parts/components.
