Well, after seeing how much heritage matters to BMW, I wouldn't be surprised if they ditch I6. That is why I would not be surprised to see a TT (twin turbo) or TT (triple turbo ) V6 in the next M3.

V6 will also give more interior room without changing the exterior size since it is more compact... And BMW is trying to save weight, so I don't think they want to increase the exterior size but they must increase the interior size to be competitive.
