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).

    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. Just hope the future won't be as disastrous as it is right now.
