They can run the N55 until Sept 2019. All cars produced after must meet Euro 6C emissions (the standard goes into effect on 9/18 but you're allowed one year to get existing models into compliance). Even if the regular 2er continues to 2021, I'm betting the regular M2 will most likely be done in 2019. No point in switching to a new motor for a year or so. Especially since they seem to be co-developing the M cars with the regular ones for release at the same time (or near) now.
Reading the adopted version issued late last month, the timeline was accelerated with the one year transition starting this week and full compliance on all non-exempted new vehicle deliveries (not just new type certs) no later than 1 Sept 2018.

US/CAN Tier III is even more significant.
