According to bmwblog and motor.es, they're developing a X2 M35i with 300 hp! I don't know if this is just a leaked report or speculation. The links are:

This report would collaborate speculations that a 300hp UKL Mini Cooper Clubman is in development, and is, in fact, what people have been seeing on the Nurburgring in these past few weeks.

*IF* all of these is true, then we should also expect a M35i version of the next 1 series based on the UKL. But I don't know what that would mean for a RWD 2-series...
