For the coupe and convertible, I would look for an HO 2L turbo I4 with somewhere around 285hp, and a 1M (or M2, perhaps) with a 350hp+ turbo I4, perhaps with displacement bumped to 2.2L or so.
I read that BMW will only have engines with cylinders with 0.5l displacement.
1.5 3cyl FI
2.0 4cyl FI
3.0 6cyl FI
4.0 8cyl FI

all to save cost by using the same parts. A 2.2 would not fit this scheme.
