I just switched from an m240i to an M2C
I don't track my cars and I just moved from an m240i to an M2C and I can tell you for an enthusiast there is a world of difference between the cars, just on the street
in straightline speed, there is not a huge gap, m240's are fast
but that's where the similarity ends
the interior, exterior, engine characteristics (free revving, motorsports nature), steering response, turn in, crisp handing etc etc
it's hard to articulate all the differences, but they all add up to MUCH MORE focused and engaging experience.
I enjoyed the m240i but I never lusted after driving it...I lust after driving the m2c, and I haven't even reached break in yet so I've only hit 5000 rpm at part throttle!
the m240i is a great car, the m2c is just more in so many ways
and the "moreness" is not necessarily completely evident on mere test drives where you are distracted by a salesperson and only drive for 15 min
when you live with the car for a bit then you begin to notice all the differences that leave you always wanting more!
