It's well-known that the B series engine in the 240 is more underrated from the factory than the M2's N55. Their actual numbers are right on top of one another. Not a dig on the M2, but a fact that the B58 is very underrated by BMW. Perhaps to protect the M2, as well as the V8 models positioned above it in some lines.
