I found this fascinating. As a former M140i, and current M2 Comp owner, this pretty much confirmed what I’d always felt about the two cars. In the real world, the M2 doesn’t really feel any faster than the M140i. The torque advantage from the B58 in 3rd gear is telling. The M2 does feel and look more special, and is ultimately a quicker car objectively. But as you rightly say at the end of the video, even a lightly tuned M140i is going to hold it’s own and potentially even embarrass the M2 Comp in the real world. The M140i is a gem at the price point you can get them for these days. Awesome comparison, thanks for making it happen and sharing it here.

I'm sorry but this video is really silly. You stated yourself, the B58 has a lower torque band than the S55. You can't then compare them at the same rev range favouring the B58s range, then state the B58 is better on road. The B58 is a fabulous engine and it's paved the way however your test and report technique is bias towards the B58. You've essential fabricated a comparison that dilutes the S55s strengths and shines a light on the B58s strengths. The only thing that matters in a rolling race is which speed you run from, you pick your rev range... Obviously. 😂😂

Eventuri claim an added 18whp / 50nm with this intake. I don’t have the stats on Remus. Have you had your car on the dyno as there is a strong probability your power figures on the M2C are higher than standard?

Just for interest sake the b58 runs a slight higher compression ratio of 11.1 compared to the s55 10.2 so low down it should outrun slightly exactly what you demonstrated but the downfall off the 58 is it will require higher octane fuel for it to keep up to the s55 , BMW actually reduced compression ratio for the s58 to 9.6 that makes it a more linear power delivery engine and cooler combustion temps

I’ve had a few ‘M-lites’ now and think they’re fabulous road cars. Probably a better road car than a full-fat M most of the time. Having driven a couple of Ms, the M2 and M3, they are much more focused, so it basically boils down to what you want and also your own level of driving skill. Real performance drivers and track goers would probably be best served in a M car. The rest of us would probably be better served in an M-lite. It has a broader range of ability in the real world, doing the comfortable day-day cruiser much better and with much better fuel consumption to boot, yet also turning into a nutter machine when you want it to. As Joe does, I would highly recommend adaptive dampers, they make a noticeable difference to comfort and control levels.

Then you must compare a dct m2c as that is much faster than the zf found in the m140

@@WaseemKhan-iu4bh I see your point but it wouldn't prove any more than what we know now m2c will still win. Manual m2c against zf m140i I feel would be closer as well.

@@giftorreid8876 i dont think zf will make that much of a difference as it's still quite a bit slower than a dual clutch plus it is heavier than a manual... maybe half a car length closer from the hit and even less so on the roll

Hi Joe, I have a 2021 m2c manual and I noticed yours has the display for your sport mode steering and engine on on the gauge screen. Can all m2c manual display that? I thought that was only for auto. Thanks

iv had a manual m140i the gearbox is shyte but the engine is a powerhouse. my m235i is stage 2 but lower down the 140i felt more torquey

My M140i pre PPF is just a perfect compact daily car. Good performance, good sound, not so shouted looking, easy and cheap to maintain. I think one of the best value for the money on the market.

Great video Joe, thanks! Having had my manual 2015 M135i since new, I’m about to say goodbye… if anyone’s interested let me know! Wiggle/Carwow etc seem to be interested but I’d like to see it go to a good home 👍🏻

M2 has 2 bigger turbos, that shifts the power higher up + it has it's reduced power over the M3/M4. Both cars mapped are quick.

Rematch with S55 vs B58 and S55 I reckon :) I know you'll be in an 8AT but 3rd in the 8AT is close to 2nd in the 6MT and 4th is likewise similar to 3rd.

Did I spot an Eventuri intake and aftermarket exhaust on the M2? wouldn't that give you an extra bit of power over stock?

Great video as always. Miss my M140i, would have still had her if some numpty hadn’t wiped me out on dual carriageway ( van pulling from lane 1 to lane 2 failing to see me!). Still 3.5 yrs and 85,000 miles and smile with every journey…

13.01 for the quarter mile in the m140 is bloody good for a manual too! Kinda upsetting really 😂 I’ve got an m140i auto pre PPF and at Santa pod the best time I got on the day was also 13.0…
