It may turn out to be the case, but for two generations, M spent money on an inline six engine designed specifically for the M3 that not just matched but exceeded the performance and feel of the series V8s available at the same time. And, if things play out the way that pretty much everyone today believes they will, they are set to do this yet again with the F8x.
So, it does not seem implausible to me that we could see the M2 similarly get an I4 that exceeds the series I6 (which by then will be the B68) in every category that matters. It might not be in the cards, but I am certainly not going to be surprised if it indeed comes to pass.
