I think this will be a Straight 6 derived from the N54 or maybe N55

Good point. An inline engine does not need need two pipes oposed to a V6 or V8 and so any V engine. However the actual M3 E9X with its V8 also has a single muffler with quad tips though two pipes join the muffler.

That is what I meant. If the M135i does not get any N54 but a different N55 version, then with the 1M stopping production, I'd expect to see the the Z4 sDrive35is E89 with N54 get replaced by the Z4 M35i E89 LCI with N55, and the same for the X3 M35i F25 LCI.
