Edit: just saw ynguldyn's post above. I can see the rationale in that too. I just figure since they have the 300hp B48 coming for UKL's possibly we'd get it in an F2x too. I guess maybe we'll have to wait for late Gxx timeframe to get a longitudinal 300hp B48.

Yes, @ynguldyn appears to have heard through the grapevine that the M235i will be re-engined (B58B30M0) with start of production in July 2016 as "M240i" (see his informative post: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showp...99&postcount=1). So the current M235i will be 'replaced' by the M240i:

F23 - same as F22, but with EOP 10/21.
[...]
Production dates for M2:
EU/UK: 11/15 through 10/18
US: 3/16 through 10/18
[...]
All re-engined F3x models will get new designations:
4-cyl B48 engine will have 330i/430i designation instead of 328i/428i
6-cyl B58 engine will have 340i/440i designation instead of 335i/435i.
PHEV F30 will come as 330e, not 328e.
[...]
Same designation changes I first announced for the F3x will apply to F2x, so we're going to get 230i and M240i.

They could at least have shown the render by Harold Wood (Dec 2012) (http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showp...10&postcount=1) as that one features the /=\ central intake shape (M cars) instead of the \=/ central intake shape (M Performance cars).



Though still an end off base of what's it gonna be:
