    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!

    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.

    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).

    I don't get the hate new M240i gets. Yes, it does look weird from the front, but I actually prefer the rear end of the new car. Old one looks...old, ugly and disproportionate. So that's a "tie" for me. However, the profile! The new one looks so slick, so elegant, so smooth. How can anyone compare it to the old one, which looks like someone took a car and cut the rear half of it, then just put there whatever junk he could find to close the hole he made. Basicly from the side it look like an old 3 series compact. Which looks horrible.
    Overall, new M240i could look better, namely from the front, but is still way cooler than the old one.

      It's mostly people who won't buy either one who have those strong Internet opinions. Besides, Thundernight Metallic is only available on the new one. ;)

    Seeing them together in the same colour, really shows how ugly the new one is 😕

    If you're driving the latest gen 2, you see an M2 parked up and think "ohh BMW fwiend! I'll park next to him!"
    Don't do it. You'll look back and be full of disappointment

      plus the interior space didn't even improve, all that weight for what...? Just get a M340i instead, same basic weight but it has a usable backseat and 4 doors.
