    The rear lights on the m240i makes the m2 look old fashioned. The rear is a bold step, and I think we'll learn to love it.

    M240i for me, speed plus comfort is a winning combination, although I would prefer a manual box and I doubt there’ll ever be one, even in the M2.

    Got to say that I prefer the looks of the M240i over the old M2. I even like the rear tail design. I’ve owned a few M3s over the years ( last one was an F80) and have test driven the M240 and was very impressed .
    One thing I dislike is the current trend to make each new model bigger than the last . The M2 is a great size to hustle down a B road and while the M240i is not a big car it certainly felt bigger on the road than I was expecting.
    Both great cars but unless I regularly tracked my car I’d take the 240i , faster on the road in all weathers , new tech and cheaper to run.
    Great video👍

      Hey Steve, thanks for the comment 🤗 I think that’s exactly how we felt collectively. You make some very good points. The old m2 was a great size and like you said great for hustling down the B roads. The new m240i is juts that little big bigger now.
      It will be great to see how the new m2 compares to it. As this m240i is fast and looks great too especially with these mods. A great daily that looks good and will save you more money on petrol than an M car!
      It Always great to hear from real life bmw owners so really appreciate you stopping buy to chat to us. Thanks 👍🏽

    Great video, really interesting to see your views on the differences between the M2 and M240i. I was going to get an M2 after I fell in love with it on a test drive but I just missed out when they stopped production, and I was gutted, so I ordered the new M240i a few months back, thundernight, red brakes, bo-colour wheels, just like the one in the video, but I really have to say I love that Remus exhaust, I might have to do that to it.

      @@CarChatTV no worries, well thanks again for the great video! Yeah, I was hesitant at first, and I ordered it relatively blind having not driven one, but the more reviews I watch the more confident I'm getting about the decision. Will do, so far thinking that Remus exhaust, and I've seen the remapping too, although I need to make sure of the implications on insurance/tax/general legality before I go for that one! I was caught out before on that a while back, a long story, but it caused me a lot of agg!

  • @MW_1981
    @MW_1981 2 роки тому +2

    I really like the back end of the M240i including the lights. The Remus does definitely look better, although from listening to the Remus vs standard, it doesn't make much difference. The M2 sounds better but no new cars with EU regulations are sounding as good these days. The M performance carbon pack is around £4k I believe for the sides and front splitter/rear diffuser and the spoiler. A fair chunk of extra cash but does look really good.
    I've ordered one in Brooklyn Grey which I won't get for another 9 months or so yet.

    Unless you've driven an F87 M2 it's hard to understand how much fun it is, regardless of the so-so HP and torque numbers. It just has an intangible fun factor. I cross-shopped my M2 against an F82 M4 at the same price, and ended up buying the slower car because it felt better to drive.

      Totally agree I have the M2C now I chipped in my X3MC it was practical family orientated bullet but didn’t feel
      Special the M2C is in my book a classic, I’ll hang now till the new M2C drops next year because I think that will run the same engines as my X3M the S58 and it will be 4wd so a monster. The 240 looks great and fast but I need M in my life their special

    My Brooklyn Grey m240i pretty much loaded full spec arrived a few weeks ago and absolutely love it .
    Great honest comparison and love your M2 also 👍🏻👊🏻
    Mine is daily driver and probably will see the track once or twice if that so it does everything I need and want . Every time I drive it I can’t wipe the smile off my face lol. Lots of compliments everywhere I go and my only complaint is although flattering at times it attracts more attention then I like . I’m sure that’s something I can get use to though and if I feel the need for some track days I’ll just buy another bike.
