To me it doesn't make sense why they would have spent the R&D money to beef up the regular N55 if they're going to drop in the S55 into the standard model a year later? Could have just done that from the beginning and just detuned it to 370hp but apparently the N55 upgrade was cheaper. |

We've had first and second-hand reports of the S55 being installed in test cars for several months now. One is video recorded at the 'ring and it's a big deal now? I can't understand how this is suddenly news.
Until BMW confirms they're commercializing it, this could be more unofficial tooling around the 'ring by M engineers. |

2) The slightly laggier S55 fitted to m2 is no good answer to some of us. Sharing with N55 the bore and stroke dimensions, S55 needs just to be phased out too, though the cooling tech and twin turbo setup would stay with the more efficient S58 which should also address the S55 lagginess with the long stroke. Make S58 bottom end strong and efficient enough to rev high is all. 3) Fitting a larger compressor to N55 turbo would be the perfect solution to current m2, personally. Retain responsiveness yet boost power a little bit. Enough.

It sounds plausible.
By the time this comes to market the M3/M4 will be discontinued and the next generation will come a year after that. Since at that time we will be seeing the X3M and X4M with the S55 engine, it makes sense to use the same engine in the M2, bump the price and discontinue the N55. The launch of the Z4M coincided with the end of the e46 M3 production. |

I hear it's going to be the S85 n/a V10 tuned to 550 HP.

S55 in M2 is real.
The question is when and in which M2 model. I have an M2 on order for 05/2017. Really don't know what to make of this.

I think this really depends on what the overall, end result looks like.
Are other components going to be upgraded as well? Are they going to try and trim the weight down? Better areo? Not sure it makes sense to plug a bigger and more capable engine (tuning-wise) into the existing car. IF they are actually testing the S55, then I would think it has to be for an additional layer in the M2 family.

BMW has a history of changing engines early / mid production cycle. For example, I got an 06 330i, then the very next year it changed to a twin turbo motor 335i. They will make changes if the competition gets too ahead. Very reactive and not market innovators anymore.
