Throw enough money at most cars and they can match or better many higher priced cars that have already done the work for you and give you a warranty to go along with that higher level of performance.
Tune the M2 and it'll be faster. Tune the M4 and then that tuned M2 will need more tuning and more parts, like a larger turbo, better flowing exhaust, and then there's the suspension........

To clarify my perspective. I know that all cars with enough money will be able to outperform other cars with less money invested.
My point was that turbos make cars so much easier to tune for power that there is less of a distinction between them (powerwise). I think (I hope) the M2 will be a better platform than the M4 due to its more compact size and hopefully less weight. The M2 will be a better platform than the M235i because of the chassis and suspension tuning that make M cars, M cars. [Hopefully the M2 follows the 1M tradition and gets essentially all of the M3 suspension bits.]
Therefore, for me, the M2 is the car to look out for. Both stock and modified.
