Also having a LSD as an option versus an after purchase accessory is quite different.

I mean what engine would go in it? A beefed up N20, only then it would just have the same hp as the N55 in the M235i. A detuned S55, not going to happen. They won't just make a one off engine for an M2. Will it be another parts bin car like the 1M. A carbon roof, trunk, etc are out the window with a car in a lower price range (unless they hike up the price considerably).

Since they were targeting 1M performance with the M235i, it just leaves one wondering.

But like I said, they could do a low volume M2 for a year like the 1M. Don't see it happeing for years.
revisionist history. SEE E30 325 (6cyl) and E30 M3 (4 cyl)
Carbon fiber is not out of the range with HIGHER PRODUCTION NUMBERS.
it won't work for 700 cars.... but 7000 cars over a 4-5 year period.. yes.

And as far as one off motor... make it a two off.. how about an M2 coupe and an M2 gran coupe that brings back some E36 M3 nostalgia with respect to dimensions ?
