The M2 will become the new enthusiast's flagship simply because the M3 has become too big. Just like the M3 never surpassed the M5's power, the M2's output will never surpass the M3's. But power/handling balance will be better on the 2 just like the 3's has always been better than the 5's. Let's just hope that BMW doesn't try to impede the passing of the baton by purposely neutering the M2's handling because of some stupid sentimentality about the "M3" badge. If they really care that much they should never have bloated the M3 to its current proportions. Personally I don't think they are that sentimental about it and do foresee the M2 becoming the lineup's driver's car.
The new BMW math:
M2 is the new M3,
M3 is the new M5,
M5 is some kind of "M" 7 series,
7 series is a 747
