Also, if the M version will have a 6 cylinder engine, all the more reason to remove the six from the normal lineup.

Not to mention the cost savings of using only 4 cyl engines.
Not going to happen. If anything, they need the I6 for the upcoming M335i. This is an expansion of the lineup, not moving down-market.
