I think closest comparison would be the 2021 M3 Competition. RWD, 8sp Auto, 3700lbs, 503hp... 0-60 in 3.5 (C/D). 3.6-3.7 sounds fair.
I don't think anyone has any delusions that that M240i should be faster than the M2 overall. If it could beat it off the line the S58 would have the power to overtake it with enough road as the speed goes up. The M240i is priced closer to and runs in the realm of S3s and such but has the performance to nip at the heels of it's bigger brothers that makes it's an exciting car for me.
I look forward to seeing the M2 run against the likes of the RS3s and CT4-V Blackwings, etc.

I'd be mildly surprised if the RWD M2 can hit 0-60 in 3.6 seconds like the xDrive m240i does
