make an M2 with an inline 6 and I'd gladly put a deposit down to order one.
The Audi is numbers , that's prolonging the horsepower game . BMW have advanced from horsepower. For M its about absolute precision through weight reduction. Audi can focus on the numbers because VAG is all about numbers which is a substitute for ego. That is why you remember the BMW 1er M Coupe over the Audi RS3.

BMW M. Have a new philosophy and a new understanding of extensive engineering and weight reduction in an entirely cost effective direction.
The six cylinder in the M3 and M4 conforms to weight reduction as does the M2 with a four cylinder.
