I think, if an F80 M3 has a weight reduction compared to an F30 335i, so can an I6 M2 compared to a M235i.

I only see the M2 getting a 4 instead of a 6 cylinder engine as marketing, it will be the smallest M car in the lineup so just a 4 cylinder engine. And performancewise an I6 could destroy the M3/M4.

We all know too, BMW is getting greener and greener because of governmental and political lies.. er...treaties (that's not BMWs fault to begin with, they are forced just like the other manufacturers, but I don't like it at all) so a small 4 pot 'more mpg' car can come in very handy as well
