I think a reasonable expectation for power would be 320-350hp. Getting that out of an I4 without lag, though, will be extremely tough. I hope BMW trickles some of the S55 engine tech down to reduce lag. Perhaps they could increase the 2.0L displacement a bit, who knows.
Keeping in line with the M4, the weight savings would put it somewhere in the 3100 lbs range, unless they go hardcore and take out the back seats.
The resulting power/torque to weight ratio would definitely put it at the top of it's class. By contrast, the CLA45 is 3600 lbs and the 2-seater TT RS is 3300 lbs.
