It does feel like BMW chassis engineers are honing their craft on these cars to get ready for making the weight disappear on electric cars. But they are succeeding at that. Just would be better if they could also make the weight disappear literally.

I guess the question is, how will buyers react if the next M2 is slower than the M240i, especially if the M2 is more about being a "driver's car" then straight line speed.
Wouldn't be the first time. An e30 325is was faster in a straight line than an e30 m3.

I'll let you guess which one I owned for 13 years. :-D

I really wish the m240 came with a manual. It's a plenty fast for me for a fun car that won't see the track.
