New M2 vs New M240i – The Result Will Surprise You

In this video, we put the new BMW M2 head-to-head with the BMW M240i in a proper track battle to find out which one is actually faster — and whether the M2 really justifies the extra money. On paper, these two look closer than a lot of people think. But in reality, they offer two very different experiences. The M2 is the full-fat M car with a more focused, rear-wheel-drive setup, while the M240i brings serious real-world performance in a more usable and more affordable package. BMW describes the M2 as a high-performance M model, while the M240i sits in that fast-road, M Performance sweet spot. So this isn’t just about lap times. It’s about value, driver feel, confidence on track, and whether the M240i might actually make more sense for more people. The result genuinely surprised us.
