I agree the M240i is a better choice for some. Honestly I think it's the better choice for me considering my long commutes, especially in northeast winters, but I think I can make the M2 work. I think it's a lot of psychology that plays into it with having the M2's red headed step child/brother the M240 (no offense to any redheads out there).
M240 Advantages:
- Potentially better motor
- xDrive for those who need it
- Fuel economy
- Buying new 240 instead of used M2 (considering same price point)
- Cheaper replacement parts?
M240 Disadvantages:
- Not an M
- Softer handling/steering compared to the M2
- M2 has nicer/more aggressive front/fenders & interior
