Yes and I tell you again, don't expect much in the weight reduction department because that's the most difficult and expensive aspect to accomplish in a street car..
Either you give up the main part of the comfort and luxury items that go along with premium offerings or you start to make extensive use of carbon fiber on the car body which is very expensive.
The M2 can't be too expensive because the car segment it belongs to doesn't allow so. It's as simple as that.

If you are talking about the M3 CSL I can understand that statement because it was a great example of a thoroughly weight reduction program in order to achieve 240 lbs (110 kg) less on the scales mainly by the extensive use of carbon fiber. It was very expensive though!
The same will be VERY unlikely with a M2. So, I say diesel.
