Hopefully it gives more credence to a lighter car with a more rearward weight bias (ie 4 cylinder) to more directly compete with the CLA45 and S3. Leave the M235i as the torquey cruiser and use the M2 as a higher strung, more focused car.

Of course the F8x cars have the advantage of yet unknown chassis differences to allow them to be lighter than the F3x cars, I think it's a stretch to expect the M2 to get it's own unique chassis and motor. Just thinking out loud of what would make me buy one over an M235i and for me at least, it would be a unique motor, better balance and less weight.
