That said, the M240xi is damn quick off the line... X drive really helps. And regarding weight vs the future RWD M240 I think may only be 150 lbs. Not a big deal when 99% of us will never race a M240. I like the stability and broad shoulders, looks aggressive & great tire & wheel choices

Like these guys, they are entertaining and have fun!!
The OG M2 is not a "true blood M car' either lmfao
I would respectfully disagree. M cars aren't about engines. Every gen M car has a different engine. It's not like Chevy was with their 6.2 liter motor being in every car.

M is about a bulky and aggressive exterior, suspension & brakes. I believe they made the 1M and M2 with the N54/55 engines for sales purposes. They must've thought if they had the S65 & S55, the market for the 3/4 would crash but the comp M2 showed us otherwise. People still love the bigger cars.

In the case of the M2 comp you really have no argument at all so it's a 50/50 shot at best

Still, I'd take the N55 as a track engine over the all gen engines of M3 pre 2015 so I guess neither of those slow cars are M cars either
