In this weeks video, I got my hands on a BMW M240i and started to ask myself why you would go for an M2 when these cars on paper have very similar stats...

It's a different engine to m235i. The x35i has a N55 engine the x40i has a b58

B58 is the best!

235i and 240i use completely different engines. It's very hard to compare. 235i uses an n55 engine, 240i uses a b58. If I had to choose, m2 or m240i, I'd take the m240i, since there is alot of potential with the b58

While B58 is a newer engine but M2 has m-dct with m diff. One thing I want you to know is that the side of M240 tyre tends to get bald quicker. Google the issue.

Because there are only positive feedbacks on the M240i and I own one, here are the negatives: The downshifts of the ZF automatic are terrible especially from 2nd to 1st gear (in comfort mode), clima automatic has digital regulation and manual regulation at the same time so that sometimes you don't know where to begin, the passenger mirror doesn't have a dead angle, the LED headlights are very bright so that the oncoming traffic is sometimes really angry with you, the rear axle (as far as I know) doesn't have an LSD, the Harman Kardon soundsystem is only as good as the BOSE in Audis. If you can live with all these problems, then the car is ok for you, it's fun to drive and has a good engine.

U Don't get the full experience not putting it in sport+ imo, people think its just the traction difference but i def feel everything enhanced including the gear change timing when driving in sport+ in the m240i

@picotrain5078 3 жыл бұрын

Sports+ mode over sports mode is just changing traction control, the main change between normal mode and sports mode is gearbox, throttle, traction control and adapted suspension (if fitted)

Is it worth buying an M240i over an M2, if i can pay to take the limiter off? Just asking. Hopefully you can answer. Thanks

@Joshkemponcars 3 жыл бұрын

Don't get me wrong the M2 is a very special car and the M240i is not considered a fully fledged M car but in terms of power performance there isn't a lot in it. The M240i is also considerably cheaper than the M2 so I guess its a balance, I would suggest you drive both before making your decision 😊.

Bought an M240I in the USA last December. Manual with a dealer installed LSD. Found your review to be very spot on. The choice between the M2 and my car was an easy one for me. I don't track my cars, so the adjustable driving modes, the sunroof (which really "opens up" the interior visually) along with the understated body styling more than offset the small increase in performance in the M2. Room in the boot for a couple sets of clubs and (with the seat down) a long weekend's worth of luggage. If you really find you need more power (very doubtful) the B58 engine is very tunable. Thanks for you review and for putting up with my friendly ribbing. Bill V.

Twin scroll means that the exhaust manifold and tubro rear housing are divided into 2 banks to take advantage of the firing order and exhaust pulses from the engine resulting in better turbo response
