You may want to pay top dollar and be able to crush an M3 in the 0-62mph department....because that's what you want. 
Bmw makes money and everyone walks away happy. Well maybe not the owner of the stock M3, but knowing that your spec M2 cost you more than his or her stock M3, they'll "get it." |
You can do that with just the M235i, so there is nothing stopping you from creating a 0-60mph monster out of the M2. Asking for that from BMW though is probably asking too much. If you give the M2 the S engine off the M3, it's no longer going to be an entry level car and that can't be an "option" the same way a backup camera is an option. A 228i and M235i are different models for a reason... You can't have an M2 with the N55 and an optional S55 without registering it and having it imported as a separate model like perhaps M2 CSL for instance...
