You really had something going there until the naive part. What exactly is naive about wanting a lightweight car powered by an engine that is designed with similar goals in mind (lower weight)?
If you're looking for examples of naivety, have a look in the mirror. If you want an I6, BMW already makes a car for you; it's called the M235i. Add the LSD and it's likely you'll still be under the entry price point for the M2.

I couldn't have said it better myself. From bmwusa's website, the 228i weight comes in at 3260 lbs with a manual transmission. That's a full 245 lbs less than a similarly equipped M235i. The weight loss would be even further possible with lightweight materials that they throw in other M-cars.
