I'm pretty sure you are dead wrong.

There is a decent chance it will have the B58 inline turbo 6 the current m240i has in it.

Other than that its a new platform that is shared with the z4/5

Feel the difference for yourself.

Take a 4lb weight in your hand and hold your arm straight out. Rotate the arm.

Then do it with an 8lb weight.

There is your answer.
