2025 BMW M2 VS M240i: Which One is REALLY Worth the Money?

[@dudekk08]

I test drove both today…and they are both incredible. At first was totally set on M2, but the M240i is also soo good but cheaper and more ‘chill’ when you just want to drive normally. The M2 is just crazy (in a great way). Good dilemma to have 😃 So we’ll see!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah they are both good options for sure. Really just comes down to how much performance you'll actually end up using. Can't go wrong either way

[@akumarus]

great video !!! was looking for this !

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Glad I could help! Which do you pick?

[@huntbob123]

I thought the M240 was the M2 for a second didn’t realize they brought a similar color to the M240. Sooo clean I need one

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

lol yeah! First year for this color on the 240!

[@amill1563]

I would go M2 with manual. I think Doug DeMoron liked the M2 as well.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

The M2 is a great choice!

[@CharlesB46]

The comments crack me up. They are designed to be different so it depends what you want but entire comment section picking one or the other. Both great cars people for different reasons. I picked m240I because it met the needs of what I wanted. m240i = classy daily with lots of power. M2 = Balls to the walls adrenalin rush.

[@speeddemon311]

@@CharlesB46 You mean M2 people are very defensive when someone prefers the M240i?😂🤣

[@CharlesB46]

Might add I ordered same color and rims as this car but with xdrive and cognac interior (will look sick with this color). All bells and whistles except for phone charger, remote start and adaptive cruise. 56K with my 1500 military veteran discount. Bargain! I can't wait! All I can do now is watch M240i videos over and over and try to be patient LOL.

[@a_unit_NG]

the m2 looks better and just a more special car

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I could see that! The blue though makes the 240 pop and look special!

[@quikness5284]

Don’t forget like u did in last video..the auto version of 25 m2 is now 443 torque.. respectively. Nice little bump. For some people more twisting forces helps with price difference as well

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah I know that! Didn’t add that since it was the manual though.

[@EastWood2004]

I have seen many m240i owners wish to upgrade to M2, but very few M2 owners want to downgrade to the M240i.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Very true! That's how it mostly goes. Both are super nice cars tho

[@chrisginoc]

It’s also the status of having an M2. Comparing an M lite car versus a full M division car is almost sacrilegious. M240i if you want to build and add power yourself. M2 if you want something fast and fun out of the box. Don’t forget that M tax on any aftermarket parts versus non M aftermarket parts. It’s real

[@a2ashraf]

I have an M2, and tuned it. It's so fast now. Like m4 power all the time. It pulls in 6 gear like it's 4th gear. all the tune did is increase turbo boost. So I think the 240 tuned, makes a compelling argument

[@eek8605]

I got the m2 and I did not really consider the m240i because previously I had a experience where I got Subaru WRX and switched to the STI months later because I regretted not getting a STI, yes you save money but in the long run that thought will always be in the back of my head of why didn’t I go for it, that’s why I got the M2 in 6 speed manual, if I got the m240i I would of always thought why didn’t I get the M2.

[@speeddemon311]

@eek8605 M240i xdrive is a better daily driver and better at dealing with winters or even rainy weather! M2 is nice tho!

[@eek8605]

@@speeddemon311​​⁠ IMO too it defo is the better daily the suspension is even softer on comfort, but I only have a 1 car garage, if I got the m240i I would always be having nightmares of why I didn’t get the M2 haha. Because when your trying to have fun the M cars are that much better plus with a manual :)

[@tadasjasas8903]

M240 is more than enough for daily driving, but cmon, m2 is a beast and look way better. ❤

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I’d go M2 as well, but great options to pick from!

honestly both are worth the money, depending on what you want in a car. especially over the competition.

[@limanuel]

In Puerto Rico the M2 is about 105k-108k and I just order the M240i XDrive full equipment for 81K. 25K more for the M2 is two much. Insane. I was willing to get the M2 for 95K maximum

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Wow that's a big difference!

[@Gumkey]

M240 for 80k is insane ngl

[@M240i_InVegas]

70% of M240i owners have the xDrive variant. 0 to 60 time is consistently 3.6 to 3.8 seconds. For whatever reason, the rear wheel drive gets reviewed and the slower 0 to 60 time gets quoted. I guess it looks bad that the M240i xDrive launches harder than the M2

Not taking anything away from the m240, but considering either the M2 or RS3. I've outgrown my racer boy FBO '15 GTI. If I want to drive something "extra comfy" I'll take the wife's Hyundai Palisade. ;)

[@weirdshibainu]

@@speeddemon311 I know, but I'd prefer the 2025. If I could get the manual, the M2 wouldn't be worth it to me. It's much more fun to drive a slightly slower car fast with a manual, then a faster car with an auto.

Yeah the grill looks better on the m240i than the base m2

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

[@Daveyboy_RS3]

BMW shot themselves in the foot with the M2CS. Once you see the far more seamless and beautiful styling on the front of the CS, you'll never want to get a standard M2. I would have gotten the M2 if it had the same front bumper as the CS. That's how it should have looked all along.

[@EVER-1984]

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

M2 is a great choice!

[@parkex9840]

I am torn. Was originally sold on the M2 but think imma end up with m240i. Live in the city and we have winter. It's gonna be my daily so 240i is just the right choice for me.

M240x and M2 have same quoted 0-60 times on BMW site at 4.1 seconds.

[@Gr8mate13]

I have a brand m240, full spec, and I drove a M2 in the flesh the 240 is gorgeous, the m2 is much much more hey look at me, id rather the more understated yet the m240 flu spec, bigger wheels is not a shrinking violet. M2 in the wet would struggle to keep up with a m240 ,the grip in endless due to xdrive

M2 is not good for all weather. If winter has much snow, m240 xdrive is better if you have only one car.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah if you need the AWD, the 240 is a great choice

[@AntLive29]

Which one has the better music system?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Both are the same

[@mthusiastmedia9782]

Yeahhhhh M2 is the answer unless you live somewhere with real winters. Then the answer is M2 and X3M. Also shoutout to the fact that these fellas were able to drive a G87 from Hendricks. For the last 2 years, every auto they got in was sold and the manuals were buried in the showroom so I actually never drove a G87 until the day I bought mine. Good job on that. They know my M4 and X3M at north lake and independence and still wouldn’t let me (or made excuses not to) test an M2 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah the M2 is a great car! Nice to have an X3M alongside it I'm sure ;)

[@speeddemon311]

@BrosFOURRSpeed He makes it sound so easy for people to buy an X3M instead of the M240i xdrive when they are worlds apart in price, and of course, running cost are at least doubled plus insurance cost...😂

[@mthusiastmedia9782]

@@speeddemon311 Yeeahhh you clearly missed the joke lol. If someone is looking for bang for buck between an M240 and M2, I'd assume they aren't the same person that will purchase 2 M cars instead then worry about insurance cost. But feel free to tell me more.

[@mthusiastmedia9782]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed Clearly, since my X3M and M2 owner biased jokes didn't land with some, I'd say do what's in your budget and lifestyle appropriate lol. If you drag race, get the 240. If you road race, drive aggressive roads for fun, or just want to of crazy, get the M2.

m240i xDrive typically out launches the M2 from a dig. Sub 4 second 0 to 60 runs are quite common for the m240i xDrive. I would never consider buying the rear wheel drive variant of the m240i. The all wheel drive launches is what makes the car awesome
