The issue of S54 for 1M was not wieght but emissions, it did not reach EU5 regulation. As for wieght they could just have it recast in alu/magnesium instead of steel.

A 90° V6 with counter-rotating balancing shafts is as smouth as an I6, weighs more, but the engines being alot shorter can be moved more backwards for an even better weight blance.

It looks like M3 Sedan (F30), M3 Touring (F31) are coming, in adition to M3 Coupé (F32), M3 Convertible (F33) and M3 GanCoupé (F35). Even an M3 GT (F35) is possible. Well and then we are geting X3 M (F25) and Z4 M (E89) but not sure if with the same engine.
