I know I will get blasted for this but I would like to see BMW take a stab at the Flat 6 (boxer) engine. If it's about weight distribution, CoG and balance, the flat setup would be pretty ideal.
BMW is known for their 50/50 distribution and predictable handling on the road/track. My argument is, "who cares what kind of engine achieves this performance." BMW has been hugely successful with the current M3 iteration using the V8, winning C/D's Car of the Year.
All that really matters is that the next M outperforms the last M in all facets.
