Yes, they definitely want to keep a gap for the next M3 to slot in above it.
Enjoy it while you can as Dan Neil of the WSJ just published that the CFO of Continental stated that ALL German carmakers efforts to develop the ICE further will end by 2023.

"Internal combustion isn't going to get any better. Last year the chief financial officer for Continental, the Tier 1 global automotive supplier, lit up the chat rooms with his prediction that IC development at the German carmakers will effectively end by 2023."
