Each shall have their own engine, though a togehter developed TT I6 with both M and Yamaha tech and know-how would be awsome, their design and such. The only thing that would be shared, would be the platform, which also will be the most expensive thing because made of CF in some cases, but due to the collaboration the costs would be lower. This would permit BMW to have their R8 rival, the M-One or whatever they call it, and would permit Lexus to build a more affordable LFA, it would permit Toyota to bring back the Supra and permit BMW to build the M-Two, and lastly the next generation GT86 platform could be built together with BMW for them to have their Z2. Toyota would put in it a some H4 and BMW some small displacement I6, at least that is what I wish.
IMO FI 2.0 I4 < FI 2.0 I6

Makes sense
