3400lbs will be unacceptable to me. If BMW doesn't make a significantly different M2 compared to the M235i then I wont bother.
Even 3400lbs would be optimistic. Being that the 8AT M235 is 3535lbs (which is only 20lbs lighter than the 8AT 335, by the way), and M cars typically add weight over the series derivative. The F80 DCT M3, even with all its highly touted weight reduction strategies, weighs in at 3595lbs - 40lbs heavier than an 8AT 335.

As much as I'd like to see the M2 be a true lightweight, I don't see how it's feasible...but regardless, it will be a great car.
