Current BMW trends have been:

Normal models (including M-Performance, e.g. M235i): 8-speed auto and 6-speed manual

M-specific models (M3, M5, etc.): 7-speed M-DCT and 6-speed manual

Cars like the 135i and 335is with the 'regular' DCT are being phased out as far as I can tell. With that being said, I would be willing to bet the M2 will get the M-DCT and 6-speed manual. Especially if the engine is similar to that fitted to the F80/F82 M3/M4.
