I feel like you can't go wrong with either options, lol. The only reason I opted for M240i instead of M2 is due to the xdrive, which is much needed in my northeast region here. Hopefully in a few short years they will come up with a M2 xdrive (similar to M3 and M4) and I would trade it in for that instead.

It’s because the 2024 mustang is slightly overrated whereas the bmw is severely underrated. The bmw puts down anywhere between 30-50 more whp down than the mustang does. Also, gearing and powerband come into play as well

i mean i love the rs3, it has always been my fav car in its class , kind of a shame that you didnt hear anything back from them for over a year, If i had the money i would get the rs3 in green or red,that 5 cylinder is epic, amazing noise, but still absolutely nothing wrong with the m2, its an excellent car, the engine is awesome., its really fast, just overall amazing car. The dark horse is also amazing ,the na v8 sounds amazing. if the m3 x drive comp was in your budget it would be an excellent car, the front grill is 50 50 for me, i know my friends absolutely hate the front grill on the new m3 but im like 50 50 on it. overall all great options for anyone.
