What do we think the chances are that BMW won't actually select ONE engine for the new M3, but rather offer a choice to consumers?

I chose the 335 (and 335is) over the M3 because to me it was a better value. Better fuel economy, and faster for every day driving. However I would have loved to have the M3 trim and LSD, and the DCT (which is why I upgraded to a 335is.) Had the previous M3 been available with the smaller turbo engine I would have gone that direction.
