This is sad news for the 4.0 owners if and when it happens, but makes complete sense BMW would offer the 4.4 to those who would be enticed by a final finale of the naturally aspirated M experience as opposed to a newer/more powerful model such as the RS5 that many such as myself are eagerly awaiting.

I am keeping my fingers crossed this happens for the estimated March LCI. Seems hard to believe they would put the work into this for 25 cars per year- especially when the competition has stepped up their game. If this happens my decision to get an M3 will be made.
