I would argue that BMW has always taken an approach of doing more with less in the M cars. A good example is comparing the current 4.0L V8 in the M3 to the 6.2L V8 in the C63. Previous to that, the M3 ran the 3.2L inline-6 while Mercedes and Audi ran 4.2L and 5.5L V8s.
I think it is very possible for BMW to do a 6-cylinder M3 in the next generation without worrying about it competing with the V8s. History shows that they compete anyway and generally win.
