BMW already eschewed the Single Turbo n55 for the N54T in the 1M, and giving a 4 cyl the secret M sauce treatment would make the car a hoot.
The lighter N20 motor is a massive step in reducing weight. the 4 cyl motor will be powerful, torquey, and also more fuel efficient. hopefully it's also inexpensive to make since its already in cars like the f30.
If they can put a six in then that would be awesome as well, but
most importantly. HOLD THE LINE ON PRICE. I would love to see the 2M come out at the exact same price as the 1M like BMW did with the original e30m3 and e36m3 at $34,995.
There is no reason the 2m should run more than 1M and should be under 50K price point as much as possible as a reasonably affordable M car in comparison to the STI/EVO/A5/R32.
