I wouldn't drool over S58 engine too much. Had a go in X3M non-comp, torque below 3,000rpm is very underwhelming, the whole engine feels laggy vs. S55 and It's not even as high revving as S55. Perfect for a shopping cart, but doesn't really deserve M badge.
M2 competition on the other hand feels like a street race car straight out of the box, thanks to DCT and its higher revving engine with plenty of low end torque. We don't really get MT options here so I want the automatic transmission to be as engaging as possible.
I feel like the upcoming generation of M will be very underwhelming in terms of actual performance if they don't do something significantly different for upcoming G8x, which I highly doubt given the "leaked" information.
