Bmw currently has zero high output NA engine, would think quite an effort (financially) to put in one to two cars.

Even Ferrari has to go turbo, for bragging right purpose you can't have M3 with anything <500hp and M5 < 600hp, and to have same 0 to 60 performance given NA torque curve you will either have to cut weight drastically or even more hp, more then just a M car thing, imagine the whole line up has to change.

I suppose the most possible way to do this is a M only model then they can go crazy but not sure how financially feasible it is, and if a M only car is not a "super car", then it kind mess up the line up. Can you imagine a M only car goes slower than M8 Competition?
