just whether it's a 'good idea'... BMW going for a 'but it's fun!!11' like the toyobaru? i don't know if that'd go down well at their price point, it HAS to be really quick.
ED: calling it.. 2.5L 5cyl M2.

Now there's an idea no one has mentioned--a 5 cylinder? Audi seems to do quite well with their respective 5 bangers.
The one in the TT-RS is supposed to be an absolute stud of an engine. That extra displacement would certainly "assist" BMW in getting to the target power range, whatever that might be.
I also think that 5 cylinders have an interesting sound, and it is something you don't hear all the time, which is nice. Unique might be the overall point of an M2--something along those lines for the engine choice would be fun to discuss.
