I think it can be a good thing, but I didn't see the benefit in the 235 that I had for roughly 18 months. To me, there was no discernible difference for the way the car felt or handled in any of the settings - it was simply too squishy and killed the experience for me.

The fact that there's "less" tuning potential with the M2 is not by accident - if you have the underpinnings of an M3 in the M2 body/wheelbase, and you can get to the same power levels of the M3 easily, then you've got less incentives to go with the bigger car. Similar to the way that Porsche keeps the 911 as king over all, this is a neutering exercise by BMW.
