This is a blatant compromise, unless the N55 is just not as flexible as the N54 (which is highly doubtful). What else was compromised, if so?

I don't understand that either. The smallest, lightest car in the group should be the fastest.

I like the M3, but it's just gotten to big and heavy with this last generation. The M1 is the perfect opportunity to make that right again, and they seem to be holding back, either to protect the M3, or because the car is being rushed and there isn't time (or money possibly) to develop an engine that makes more sense, and put this car at the top of the lineup where it belongs.
