Thanks to George Lidd for lending us his M2: ‪@ItsLeorge‬
Who’s ready for a BMW 2 Series showdown?!
Mat’s in the last generation full-fat BMW M2, and he’s going head-to-head with the new M2 ‘lite’, the M240i!
So let’s see how these two BMW coupes compare. Starting with the M2, it’s powered by a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six that can deliver 410hp & 550Nm of torque. Its power is delivered to the rear wheels only, and it weighs in at 1,575kg.
As for the M240i, well it also comes equipped with a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six, although the power output is a bit less, at 374hp and 500Nm. It’s also a bit heavier, tipping the scales at 1,690kg, but it’s got one key advantage - it’s equipped with all-wheel drive!
They both roll-up with launch control, but will four-wheel drive prove the difference?! There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

I've got an M140i (5-door hatch). Couldn't be happier with it. I actually test drove the M2 and the M140i/M240i just feel a bit quicker for street use. And they're much more practical and cheaper. Since I've had other M cars like an E92 M3 and an F10 M5, I didn't feel the pinch of missing out on the M2. My M140i is now chipped and much faster than it was stock. Actually I've also had an M135i before (the first generation, with the RWD and the N55). Also an awesome car. Love these "almost-M" hatches. You need a racetrack to really feel the advantage of a full M (but on a racetrack, the difference will be huge).

[@purwantiallan5089]

The M240i has less bhp.

[@lloydmorganmoore7810]

In theory if the cars were driving on the street before say, coming to a traffic light, the tires would be slightly warmer than they start with before heating the tires.

All in all the drag races are very fun to watch! But it would be much better when you can display the times of the cars (0-100, 100-200, 1/4-mile,…) and decide the races according to the times. So when someone misses the start and loses because he reaches the line as the second one but have all in all better times it doesn’t matter. I hope you understand my criticism and I am not the only one who wants this.

We all know BMW has lost its signature design... but man. Looking at the previous m2 competition, it just looks like a masterpiece.. so mean, so elegant and so sexy. The new 2 series looks fat and has no character at all. It doesn't even have any distinctive feature that will set it aside on the road. Don't get me wrong, i actually like the new 2 series' design as compared to the newly revealed and ugly 7 series. Even the new 3 and 4 series are still to grow on me. It's sad considering how BMW is considered to be the pinnacle of german engineering, yet, their design language has gone all the way down.

I think M2 is the only proper M car nowadays. Thank you for your informative video which is very helpful.

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

yeah they're all overdone imo. You can't even get a 220i manual anymore to have a nice fun car..

[@Todestuete]

I know it's AWD and super expensive, but I think the M5 CS is great. Perfect symbiosis of big sedan and sports car.

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

@@Todestuete m5 cs lol 200k worth of car. I don't see why one would not want a dedicated racecar and luxury boat with that money.

[@Todestuete]

@@Daniel-dj7fh so what sports car + luxury car would you get?

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

@@Todestuete Personally none, but something like an m3 touring or c63 t-modell wouldn't be a bad thing to have. Personally I'd have multiple different cars. If budget wasn't an issue I'd defo want a Porsche gt4 and maybe a taycan cross tourismo. But I'd also be happy with a gr86 or hyundai i30n

[@forlatagate1]

The new M2 will likely be offered with the same xDrive all-wheel-drive system as the M240i, however it's possible that it will be available with rear-wheel-drive as well.

[@yb4neal]

Just did M day at Indy and the M240i was the vehicle used for the road course/lead-follow. They are rockets.

[@stiftungwarentest9636]

Would take the M2 all day! No matter the 1/4 mile time or performance at all it’s still enough for a daily driver✌️ Design of M240i is messed up, definitely not my type The speedo from f87 is by far the most beautiful from all generations⏱❤️

[@RobManser77]

240i: Ugly, automatic only, four wheel drive. M2C: Handsome, manual gearbox, rear drive. Oh, and unless you're doing a full on standing start, using the 240i's 4WD, the M2C is quicker too! Absolutely no contest.

I think most of us can agree that the previous M2 just looks way better than the current M2.

Matt is so inconsistent when he counts down from 3 🤣 Anything for the win

[@bloodseedwahdirass2099]

Humans hate change and that’s why everyone hates new models for the first year or 2 then everyone falls in love when their brain finally accepts the change is actually for the better and does look better. I love the G42

[@2minutekillz828]

Not the race we wanted but the race we needed 😂👌

[@squareblueorange]

I'd take the m240i. Launches better, stops better, cheaper. It's also got the 4 wheel drive so will be better in slippy, rainy old England. Only time you'd benefit with the full fat M2 are at autobahn speeds.
