Edit: I pretty much fill up every 3 days at it is now, so yeah I can live with it  |
apparently the veloster N is a good drive with some BMW in its genes (its creator), but it is also quite "unique" looking
as for your original question, I debated the OG M2 vs m240i about 2 years ago. I test drove both.
My impressions
M2 over M240i:
looks
sound
sharp handling
M240i over M2
ride comfort
engine (b58 less lag and just felt more eager and stronger at low rpms)
4wd capability
tough call
For me coming from a 981 Cayman S with the x73 suspension, I was really drawn to something more comfortable. I also really did find the b58 to be a more engaging motor than the n55. So I went with the m240i.
But now I've ordered an M2C, so there's that. But that is partly a missing manual thing. I think if my m240i was a manual I would have been ok sticking with it...and not have ordered an M2C (or at least waited for the s58 version)
Best with the decision!
