True, the S55 is one of the most egregiously underrated engines in BMW history. Given produces around ~470 bhp based on dynos (at the flywheel), the M2 CS version will probably be around ~440 bhp assuming the same proportion of under-rating.

Someone thinking the B58 will be some bargain engine that produces as much bhp as a dedicated M-engine and BMW will be "under-charging" for it, is simply deluding themselves.

You think the S55 M2 CS will just have 400hp? Think along the lines that how much the M3/M4 S55s had been underrated and you will have a more realistic figure with the CS.
