I know we all know this, but this is the first almost official announcement right from the BMW M head man himself

All he said is that he'd love to do something in the direction of a 1M again, no?

Van Meel, who recently made the switch from Audi’s RS division to head up BMW’s M range, said the previous 1-series M Coupé is a car he is very fond of, and therefore is a car “he’d love to do something in the direction of again”.

Spy photographers now regularly catch M2 prototypes in testing, but van Meel stopped short of officially confirming the model for production.
