Yea it might be a big jump, but then again we dont know what the M version would have in terms of an engine, it might be an all newly derived engine specially for this car, or may reuse famous engines from M cars in the past, its really up in the air, but I agree, if this car sells well, it may be expanded to a another car in the middle to cover that gap such as a 230i with the 265hp 3.0l engine (non turbo'd one)
