Since they already announced the S58 and the new G series M4 mule was just seen being winter tested, I assume they're going to release it to coincide with the M2 CS, so it doesn't overlap in competition.
The big difference there is that the ...35/40i, in whatever trim, is some limp wristed, half-assed sales gimmick. Just like the Audi S line...BMW even made marketing literature to show the parallel.

On the other hand...an M is an M, and it's different. If someone thinks their ...35/40i is the same, they just don't get it.
I wasn't arguing the difference between vehicles, I was merely contrasting how it's perceived in comparison from M4 to M2 owners.

They're both BMWs and is not some exotic, 1/2 million dollar super car, so it's tone-deaf to believe that one owner is superior to other because of what level of series they choose to drive.
