The Z4 will get one of two different B58 TU engines depending on market - the M1 and the O1. It is highly unlikely (approaching 0% chance IMHO) that the M240i will ever get the O1 engine. It is slightly more likely it could get the M1, but that would have little tangible benefit from a performance perspective since that engine makes 335hp and the M240i is already using the 335hp version of the pre-TU engine (M0).

I talked to my dealer about the 2019 M240i. He said that the HUD has a "good chance" of making it into the 2019 M240i, as well as a "very good chance" that the there will be new colors. Any comments?

Unfortunately, I didn't ask him about the engine.
Generally speaking, dealerships know less about upcoming products than the more informed internet sources like Bimmerpost.
