And I'm serious, a V8 swap into an M2 would be pretty frikkin amazing in my opinion.
The reason I posted this here is because the video makes a few references to the M2C. It had the lap record at that "track" until the Mustang and Camaro showed up. I really though I'd find a drivers car with the M2. And in many ways it is. But it's missing a few key elements like high end power. And I miss my Mustang. Heavily modified in terms of suspension and handling, but still way less expensive than the M2. And with better sound and better track numbers. I do think the M2 is a special car. But it's missing the magic of a V8 powertrain.

I've heard the m3cs rewards revving it out a bit more and of course the s55 had 7600 limit. Perhaps a CS tune on an s55 will help?
Myself I think about picking up an old e90 m3 for some high revving action in a practical modern-ish car.
