And no offense to Scott, but when Dr. Nitschke himself says don't expect it, I won't. They gave us plenty of warning that the next M generation was going to be FI and not NA. I don't see why they're going to start planting false information now to trick us.
Dr Nitschke relates to a four cylinder not coming tomorrow , just as an M2 is not coming tomorrow.

But if they can get this four cylinder to make 360-380 PS why should it not be implemented into the M2?

Remember this? No more Dogmas.
I posted a similar comment in another thread also but supposing they can get the target HP from a 4 cylinder, should they choose to do so? A 6 cylinder has many positive attributes such as smoothness, sound, less stress/maintenance and it seems that a great majority of those providing opinions desire a 6. Aside from the weight advantage of a 4, why would BMW deny the M2 of a 6?
