That were my thoughts, too
IF Scotts predictions come true and M2/X1M share the engine, it will be a 4cyl. most likely based on the B48.
Since it seems that 500ccm is fixed as cylinder displacement that would mean that upcoming M2 will get per litre power output like A45 AMG - roughly 180hp/litre ... but maybe a more refined forced induction system with better throttle response ... hopefully
The overall package (weight/balance) would be promising for sure.
