look at what these subies and evos can do out of the box with a 2.0L 4 cyl.....im pretty sure bmw could do better.

just give me car that is super fast to around 120-130mph (i mean blistering acceleration) and make it light and nimble and this thing would toast most cars on tracks.
you are correct! the E30 did have a 2.5L 4 cylinder. I agree with ou about lightness > power. The problem with light weight materials such as carbon fiber and aluminum are that they are expensive. its cheap to sell power, specially when power attracts consumer more these days. an M2 weighing somwhere less than 3k would be amazing but at the same time neeeds to be between the $50k M235i and the (just a guess) $63k starting M4. i guess we'll have to wait to see what it'll be
