In the document leaked that showed bmw roadmaps it was pretty clear that an 40i version is coming (so 99% sure b58 engien). That document displayed the roadmap til 2020 or so.
Another faster engine besides M engines... bmw doesnt have that and are sure not going to develop a bespoke engine for the z4.
If an M version will be made, it will be in the facelift generation of the platform, so after 2020 or so (facelift usually takes 3 production years).
What engine /M devision is using by then is still unknown.
If they are thinking of a 'fast version' in the first generation production run, its on basis of the B58 and they are probably not sure what software version its going to get.

All I'm expecting is they at least put the B58 in it, that would be fast(enough) for a z4. The comment about possibly making a fast version threw me off, I guess I need to know what Dirk Hacker considers fast to comment on them not making a fast z4.
