On a daily driver I'd trade the better performance at the lower and mid ranges over a higher top end. Maybe they should build a B58 'LCI' M2?
if bmw reduce the weight of m2 and add 20-30bhp then the performance gap shown on that graph would mean nothing, the m2s power to weight would be far greater than it is now. . Even if they just reduced the weight by 70kg and added no power it would be miles ahead of the m140i
