But maybe BMW M tweaked it in the meantime, either for better (improve the Ring lap time furthermore) or for worse (cut the M4 some slack to respect the hierarchy).

The question then becomes whether the M2 "needs" to be any faster than it is. Does it become a bit harder to drive a la M3/4 without ZCP, considering the tires won't be that much wider.

Or does it genuinely become more fun?

It'll definitely be interesting to see.
