BMW NA Brand Manager Martin Birkmann alluded to that in an interview with Bimmer magazine (see below), but it depends on if the car is still being produced in one year.
Bimmer: Will the Z4 M Coupe get the new V8 that is coming in the E92 M3?
Birkmann: Of course, we haven’t yet announced what engine will be in the E92 M3, but if you think about how we have dealt with our engine programs in the past, we do use the same engine across different body variances. If there is a V8 and the Z4 M Coupe is still being produced, the likelihood is that they will be matched.

I doubt you'd see it in the current generation, but I believe it's very likely in the next gen Z4 M.
