Definitely cross shopped these (and even the OG M2 LCI 2018).
Overall the G42 is a much better modern daily driver.
If you're an enthusiast that's tracking (and need a 6MT), the M2 is the way to go. Otherwise, the G42 likely makes more sense (and if you want AWD it's your only option).
Looks wise I think the new M240i is more masculine and modern to me. The old M240i looks too basic and feminine to me, while the M2 adds fender flares and a better front, it still doesn't stick out in a crowd to all but enthusiasts.
Finally in terms of MPG, the B58 is 'miles' ahead of the full M models (especially on the highway in eco if you're going on long trips).
