The M240i has more low-end torque than than the M2? Its B58 has 369 lb-ft @ 1520 rpm & the M2's N55 has the same 369 lb-ft @ 1450 rpm... That said, the B58
is the newer lump and for sure people do report it FEELS a bit stronger and it seems to get great reviews in general (regardless, I would never pick an M240i over an M2 - one glance at the two of them and it's instantly all over for the M240i in my book
).

b58 is new and unknown. Seems like a great engine, but who knows if reliable.
Also m2 drivers better and looks way better.

The B58 isn't really new or unknown anymore - it's been in production for 4 years now.
