And if you consider m235 already has a 6-pot N55, a 4-cylinder for F87 would easily have been the all-time stupidest M decision.

Actually, VAG already has a 2.5l with 350hp in the Cayman S and there are tunes taking it into the 400hp range. Most VW/Audi 2.0T motors can be tuned to 360hp on simple stage 1tune, meaning no other mods required. So we’re already there, it’s just a matter of BMW putting it together. And if the car weighs something like 2500-2800lbs, so having 365hp becomes less critical.
