  • In today's video, I went ahead and broke down some of the key differences between the BMW M235i & M2. These cars may seem fairly similar on paper but when you really start to dig into the tech there are quite a few things that BMW did to differentiate the bigger brother from the little one. Both are great cars in their own respect, and I hope you guys found the video informative! Thanks for watching and remember to smash that like button as well as subscribe!

    Love how you weren’t biased to the m235i because you own one! Great video!!

    don’t let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running 3 Honda Civics with spoon engines. And on top of that, he just went into Harry's, and he ordered 3 T66 turbos, with NOS. And a Motec exhaust."

    Loved the video!! I looked these things up back when I ordered my ‘17 M2, however I’ve forgotten about a lot of the little tweaks. It’s always fun to learn about your car and favorite brand, thanks man!

    M2 Competition 62-65k M2 40-60k M235i 20-30k. I have owned the Comp and now an X drive m235. You can not beat the M235 for the price. Mine was 23k with 73,000 miles. Mint condition. Had BM3 and bolt ons. The auto is mint!

    I still love my m240i convertible, going on three years, no issues, added a remus exhaust, havent tuned because im still under warranty, was thinking of trading for new z4, everyone tells me im making a mistake, what do you think?

    • @SimplyCarThings
      @SimplyCarThings  4 роки тому +1

      I didnt think much of the new Z4 until I saw a red one driving in person the other day. it looked great, awesome car at least from a visual standpoint! probly a much better chassis than the m240i too

  • @craigr.h.laurent240

    Did you provide comparison statistics for the two, e.g. 0-60 and 0-100 mph as well as quarter mile results as a minimum. Those should have been placed on the screen.

    What about ride quality? I'm between them becasue I want to do some long trips too, right now I have a Fiesta ST-3 MK8 and it isdefinitely a bit stiff... is there a huge difference between them on ride quality?

    • @pimpdaddy9394
      @pimpdaddy9394 2 роки тому +1

      If ride quality is the only thing keeping you from getting a m2 get a m235i

    • @SimplyCarThings
      @SimplyCarThings  2 роки тому +1

      M2 is noticeably stiffer ofc because its an actual M car and doesnt use EDC, just has a passive setup with stiffer spring rates

    Got my m240i a few months ago, great car for around 30k. I do wish it had an LSD after going stg 2..

    • @SimplyCarThings
      @SimplyCarThings  4 роки тому +1

      Colby Carithers congrats man! yea the M240i is a particularly sweet car and a great daily driver

    • @colbycarithers
      @colbycarithers 4 роки тому

      Simply Car Things Thanks! Congrats on your M4, i’m sure you are enjoying it! My car is on Dinan springs, I went with them because the reviews were all really good. They are very comfortable on smooth roads but on bumpy, curvy highways it feels a little “darty”, bouncy, and unstable. With this amount of power, it’s like the chassis cannot keep up with the speed. So i’ve been considering coilovers, just wondering what your experience was with your m235i.

    No mention of price? When I bought my m2335i, M2s were still 10-20k more? M4s are much cheaper than M2s....

    Do one with m2 m235i and m240i

  • @Greenious
    @Greenious 8 місяців тому

    Only problem is the M2 is like 2x the cost for like a 10% “performance” boost. I think the M235i is worth it, at least where I’m from.

    @alexgerling3686 4 роки тому +1

    I love the styling of the M2 but price wise and. Practicality i think the m235i is better value for money especially in the UK when you consider road tax etc. I'm hoping to get an m235i stage 2 stage 1 or2 tune and decat fabspeed exhaust system that will be plenty for me to enjoy myself also springs. Then go for styling. Shane some of the nicer widebody kits I find are 2/3 the price of the car

    • @SimplyCarThings
      @SimplyCarThings  4 роки тому

      for sure bro! I think in terms of pricing, the M235i is a better value. The cost of the OG M2 can be tough to justify for many

    m235i is way more than plenty if you dont go to the track. M2 is for bragging rights and going to the track.

    So if i get a m235i chip it and get a k&w Suspension i have allmost the same car but for less money.
    I am not going to track the car a lot just want a fun car for the Odenwald
