Which leads to the conclusion, that there will be either electrified S58-hybrid M cars or fully electric.
Also, BMW clearly stated that the G87 M2 is (and will be) the last model with pure ICE drivetrain.

That was the plan, but as previously mentioned, BMW, along with other automakers, have been quickly recalculating their strategy due to recent trends and changes in the political environment with regards to EV regulations and mandates being reduced/delayed.
Check out the article below, this is just another example, and people I know in the industry have mentioned that this may not be the exact plan, but BMW is hedging their bet and also developing a new ICE M car due recent declines in EV demand and naturally increasing demand for ICE vehicles. So we may not see both pure "M" cars make it into production, but BMW is indeed looking into extending the ICE program.
