M240i faster than M2?

harkes · 03-18-2018, 12:30 AM

Am I seeing this correctly (see at 1m55s)? I guess the explanation is B58 vs N55.

Yep! And I'd take the M2 over the M240i any day.

If power is your biggest concern, a M2 is not for you.

The M2 has a lot over the M240i in regards to chassis and suspension. That's why the M240i isn't a full on M car.

Yup been know for awhile. I had the M235 and now the M2. The 235 was a great car but not a M2..... the only place it was better was in price and.....

M2 is a ral drivers car

Power definitely isn't everything and money no object I'd go M2 also. Just amazed how that B58 pulls.

You've misunderstood the video, entirely. This old video was trying to show M2 is a bit faster than M240 at any speed.

M240 catch up in the end only because both cars lift throttle.

I'll add this to above my comments. You can see these autotop videos are all about how M2 is a little bit quicker everywhere.

Well, I'm not being defensive, you and I both know just too well how N55 sucks big time for a M's engine. But I still want to do it justice by not letting misinformation spread around.

In a straight like after 80mph maybe. To 60 no. Around a track no.
