M2 and B58 engine?

We see the m240i are moving to the B58 from the N55. Will the same happen to maybe 2018 m2's?

I hope so...since all the other 40's are swithing to the B58's and the M's other than the m2 have the "S" engine.

I would be surprised if BMW did not do that

How would that make any sense? They have spend so much time and money on research and development on this variant of the N55, just to run it for a little more than 1 year, and throw in a variant of the B58? I won't believe it till I see it

I mean I know it has a closed deck block, but other than that, it's just borrowed parts from regular N55 and a few parts from the S55, along with a hotter tune. I think the closed deck was just to handle the hotter stock tune more reliably, so I don't think they wasted much time/money on R&D for the M2's N55.

I would be shocked if they didn't pop a beefed up B58 in future M2's

Is the N55 a closed deck in the M2? I read this article and did not mention anything about that:

straight from their website: Link

The M2’s fully aluminum closed-deck block design and gray cast iron liners allow cylinders to endure higher pressure under the most demanding driving conditions.
