The new B58 in the M240i gives the 2 Series a nice bump in power. It's plausible that for MY2018 they will do something to give the M2 a bump as well. I honestly never considered a detuned S55 as the answer. Thought they would just bump the output of the current engine or maybe a higher output tuned B58, although the latter didn't make a lot of sense from a research and development perspective. That's why I'm intrigued by the idea of a detuned S55. For now it's all speculation; I'll believe it when I see it.
