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

[@Gr8mate13]

Wait til you have to insure the M2 and average 12mpg, my m240i on a highway cycle get better than 45 mpg, yup M2 is fast but in the wet the 240 is quicker

[@Jacob-xd3ko]

I never test drove the M2 since it was a little out of my price range with the options I would want on a daily driver, but my M240 is fantastic. I do a lot of highway driving and it is extremely comfortable and definitely an upgrade from the previous generation being that it is on the 4 series platform.

[@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.

[@speeddemonRS3]

@@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!

[@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!

[@FatKVN]

I test drove both cars on the same day. In the end I went with head over heart purely for the fact of ride comfort. I felt the m240i in comfort mode handles pot holes so much better to the stiffness of the M2. Living in the UK where our roads are basically crap, I went for something that would handle that better. Also watched this channels' video for research on the m240i, so thank you gents.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Good way to go! Very livable car for roads like that. And you can always play with some upgrades if you want more performance out of it

[@FatKVN]

Yes, from what I know the B58 is very good for that... Thanks for the response guys! Made my morning lol

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

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.

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.

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

The M2 is not the same engine as the M240. M2 has the S58 which is twin turbo. The M240 has the B58 which is single. With downpipe and tuning the M2 can make 700 WHP while the M240 will be at 500 WHP with the same mods. Very different cars overall
