Having previously owned an M240i and now owning an M2C, they aren't even comparable. For starters, you can actually lease an M240i with decent (for the last few years) residuals. No one leases an M2C because the residual is a laugher.
In terms of resale value, M240's resale will be more inline with typical BMW depreciation curve. Sure, 6MT M240s command a premium, but by and large you're looking at buying a 3 yr old M240i for around 60% of the MSRP.
By contrast, M2C is highly in demand and has not really depreciated all that much. Hell, I bought my M2C brand new for only 1-2k more than a lot of used 2019 and 2020 M2Cs on autotrader. A lot of this is due to the M2C only having been around for 2 years so it may change in the next few years, but I would expect you will more than make up for the extra upfront cost of the M2C vs the M240 when it comes time to resale.
TL;DR even if M2C is ~10k higher brand new, the resale value gap between M2C and M240i will be far greater than that 10k. If you can swing the M2C, definitely do it.
