If the M2 comp had the adaptive suspension, I’d have bought it. Thinking about it now, it would be a stupid financial decision: paying 15k€ more just for the looks. I don’t think I’ll ever put my car in a track, so even though the M2 comp looks better and is the more prestigious car, I bought the right car for me.

Having owned a tuned M240 and moved to M2C, you’d have to spend a fortune on a 240 to get it close to a stock M2 and there’s nothing you can do to make it look as good. The M240 is a 218 with a big engine, fine if all you want is straight line speed but as a drivers car, the M2 wins every time. Any profit made on the M2 will be lost on the 240 because they don’t hold their value like an M2 (appreciate you may not lose much over the next 18 months with how the market is). Yes you can do plenty to an m240 but it’s a false economy. Parts aren’t much cheaper and can all be stripped and sold on either car. People can have various reasons for downgrading to the 240 from the M which is absolutely fine but it will always 100% be a downgrade although still a great car.

If you never do any track driving, then an M car is overkill because you can’t ever drive it as it was meant to be driven. So at that point, driving an M car is really to show off to your friends. And unfortunately, too many people with more money than driving skills will buy an M car for the ‘show factor’. So they will baby the car, keep it clean and waxed, and never track it. So wait for those cars to hit the used car market, because these types of owners are always after the next popular car to show off.

IMO n55 is a great engine, very reliable, but it takes allot to get out of it. Yes the 240 is faster than a OG M2, especially in a straight line but it's not the better car. If your looking to do rolls and digs and all you care about is 0-60 and numbers (he read the brochure) by all means the B58 is for you. The M2 is a drivers car whether it's the OG or M2C, a 240 just can't do what a M2 does no matter what you do it. Handling alone justifies that, more in the M2C. The way these cars drive and respond are night and day, the 240 is practically the better daily but the M2 is the better car period.

Totally disagree, i made crazy amount of money on the m2 allowing me to buy this m240i for cheap..m2 has m tax on all parts and engine isn’t really as reliable as the b58 hence why bmw used it again in new 240i and based the new m3/4 off the engine..bmw offer the m240i racing for competitions and btcc m135i racing so I’ll be looking to build something like that with a way cheaper car which is fun to build and not something that I think about constantly if I should sell and make money…the m240i might sell one day but I don’t drive it now thinking about the resell value cos it’s not a sought after car and as I mentioned it’s not about which is better or faster it’s about me getting something that makes sense for me. Be good to see back to back times with a stage 2 m2 and a m240i with £15k spent on it😆 that’s the price difference between mine sold for and how much the m240i cost 🤫 I for one am interested! 😂

M2 is nice but I get snow here in Toronto so that alone is a deal breaker.. AWD and a smaller price tag... and like you said M240i has loads of modifications

A stage 1 240i would gap a non comp stage 2 M2 lol I don't know what you're talking about. The B58 is not a force to be reckoned with.

@@TimWilliamsHD Edit at the end: Mod for mod the B58 isn't as capable as the S55. The S55 has exceptional reliability. It's bullet proof. I think the record whp is over 1300 now. Another bit of news for you is that the S58 is heavily based off the S55 which I didn't realise either. The only advantage of the M240i is that it's cheap. Aside from that the M2 is better. B58 is still a great engine. Stage 1 M240i is a weapon still. I used to have the 440i. Biggest upgrade is a nice new set of Michelin PS4 tyres. 😀. Edit: If we are talking N55 M2 then I'd argue the M240i is a better car 😆. The B58 is a way better engine than the N55.

If you plan to track it then yes 100%

M2 comp of f80/82 was the only sensibly upgrade from OG M2. Might be able to get more power from the b58 but such a lack lustre car in comparison to M perf cars. A better daily yes but so boring in comparison

Wasn’t looking to upgrade mate, was looking to get something as mentioned in the video I could daily and smash around track without worrying about depreciation and paying m tax on car parts…

Haha no way! Different ball game!

M2 comp makes more power than a 240i 🤣

You are getting crazy money for special cars right now because nobody wants cash on the bank account as a result of heavy inflation and penalty interest at the moment (And supply chain problems ofc). Same with real estate market - crazy prices. Maybe letting the M2 sit in the garage without driving it would lose you less money long term. But as you said in other comments, the B58 is king. So no downgrade there! 🙂
