To me, it's not an accident that BMW is "shooting" for that number. They don't want a smaller car being able to encroach on the M3/4.
IMO an M2 with a detuned S55 is what should be in this car for sure. This car will likely be too small for some. I think it will eat into M3/4 sales a little, however there will still be a large market for its bigger brothers. Why not build a crazy performing car without compromise??? Show us some balls BMW!!!

This is what I am hoping for anyway...
