The max jump from M240i to M2 is from 382HP to 453HP.
In fact the M240i xDrive will likely out accelerate the M2 from 0 to road legal speed limits, which is what most people can experience. Same is not true on M3, because xDrive is available.
I do track the cars often, so the main attraction of the M2 is the better tires and brakes, but if I didn't track, there will be little to push me to M2.

Beyond that, no way BMW is stupid enough to let that car take the new M2 automatic to 60mph. I can definitely understand the manual version being on par or a little slower, but quoted times from BMW 0 to 60 already has the xDrive .2 behind.
I think 240i owners have a case of wishful thinking.
