That's correct: (also) the G87 M2 gets the S58 engine.

S58 + 6MT is what's left. Once that's gone, it's all done.

B58/S58 and the future G87 M2/M2C (2023): hm, N55/S55 of F87 M2/M2C déjà-vu likelihood or straightaway a detuned S58 of the G80 M3 / G82 M4 ? |
I strongly suspect they’ll use the S58 in the G87 from the start because it allows them to go to a single I6 + 6MT configuration that covers everything. In fact, the business case for keeping the manual M cars for a (presumably) final generation was likely built around sharing the same engine/transmission across the three (M2/M3/M4) vehicle programs. |
Dedicated thread: see
here ("Will the G87 (next gen M2) be powered by a B58 or S58 engine ?").
