This is a beautiful car!
I think in comparison we should look at the same model, i.e. 240i vs 240i.
In my opinion this gen 240i is miles nicer & more beautiful than the last gen (as it should be) & it's not even close. The rear end made a big improvement & the front is mesmerizing.
This is coming from a M2 owner & a previous 135i owner. Can't wait to see what the next gen M2 has in store
