Neither car has been announced, but both are widely expected to make it to market.
The M2 in particular is a sure thing. It will offer the same features above and beyond what an M235i offers that the 1M offered in addition to the 135i (or the newcomer 135is). That is, more power, M chassis components and M body panels with other exterior enhancements. This time around we can expect the additional power to come from an M-specific engine.
The M435i name is a placeholder for now. The expectation is that there will be an M Performance model between the 435i and M4 to replace the existing 335is. This model will probably get a high output version of the next generation BMW I6.
