This would have allowed BMW to progressively increase power in both models in future years.

Of course BMW knows this better than I do but I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall of those boardroom discussions.
Maybe the M2 gts/csl/comp pack/LCI model that comes in later in a few years will utilise the new b58 engine instead of a tuned n55... Maybe :
