I've tracked my M235i xdrive (tuned to at least M2 power on RE71r) follwing my friend in is 2017 M2 and let me tell you the M2 is freaking efficient on the track, I am a more aggressive driver than him and I had a hard time keeping up. I can also confirm the huge difference in grip because I drove his car afterwards. The suspension/brakes, chassis stiffness, steering are all totally different between them.

I am not bashing the M235/240i, I loved mine, its really nice sports car but if you happen to track often (10+ events per summer) and you can afford the M2, your going to love it.

Nobody is saying M240i is equally good or better than M2 with just the addition of an LSD and yes I'm aware that it's not an M-LSD and there are other differences between two models (suspension, brakes, steering etc). However, as I said earlier, I would like to see the lap time difference when the M240i has the same size tires and an LSD.

Your point is valid, maximum tire size on M235/240i is 255 witdh without touching the fenders. I would be super curious to compare them on regular mpss/4s and or cup2's.
