Sure, it's not M2 pretty but it sure as hell ain't ugly.

I own both. the M240i feels faster over 150km/h.

Do I lose sleep over this? No.

Have a look at what it does from 100-220km/h Sport+, Almost full tank https://streamable.com/a9k1u
Are those supposed to be serious metrics? Over 150km/h? How many people would care about such an obscure and useless high speed stat? Even on most tracks that's irrelevant. None of this speaks to a car's fun factor or the emotion it stirs via its aesthetics, sound, overall performance and relative exclusivity. I don't care what litany of stats people roll out I would never buy a boring consumer grade skinny slab sided 2 series. Nor would I buy a Hellcat because it's "awesome" or it's stats or any similar car. I like sports cars. Real sports cars like the 718 even with the four banger. I chose the M2 and willingly sacrifice true sports car characteristics because the M2 gets close enough and adds practicality. Injecting a 2 series into this thinking is a time wasting joke.
