While that might have been true for the 1M, you have to keep in mind the climate in which the 1M was developed. The 1M was a one-off car. It was an experiment within BMW. Many were surprised that the car made it to market. The took suspension parts from the M3 and an engine from the Z4 because they were working on a very tight timeline, and without a dedicated engineering effort dedicated to distinct components for the car. I don't think anyone expects the M2 to follow the same pattern.
