Yes exactly. The 1M had the 335is N54 motor that was replaced by the N55 and the M2 will have a variation of the N55 while the new 2s and 3s get the new motors. This is how I understand it from reading the M2 forums.

Various web sites and car mags claim that the M2 could get a detuned M4 motor but that seems like a long shot and doesn't jive with the inside information Scott has been providing.
