So Yes to a carbon fiber roof, Yes it should have gotten the S designated engine and Yes to ceramic brakes. However, weight reduction is new to M models as previous generation Ms were heavier than the non M versions.
while i agree with most everything else, I disagree with the bolded statement. I believe the S designation should go to an engine that is vastly different than the streamlined, pedestrian engines like the N54/55.. so ASSUMING the engine they put in the M2 is simply a tuned N55 then it should not get the S designation
