No way under the sun unless they have really shortened the historical development lag for the M version. Even with computer modeling they still need real time testing to ensure the structural integrity - especially with the new CFR plastics. Remember the 3 series saga where the rear shocks were actually tearing out of the trunk shock support because some weight savings kook wanted to save 19 ounces? Expensive fix , especially considering the hit to the reputation. BMW is on a roll - they don't want to screw things up by rushing testing.
