PS4Ss can handle a lot. In the South Florida heat, they will have more grip than you think.

You can make 600 whp with a B58 too. Now add xDrive. G42 M240 were already clocking mid 3 second 0-60s. Just accept that you bought a RWD car.

What are you implying?

That the M240i xDrive is faster than a RWD M2, and both can be tuned.

And??? I own a 23 M240 RWD as well (wife's car) so I know what it can do...but it does not do mid 3 second 0-60s.

The G87 suspension is way different so car will handle the power better.

The BMW X drive is not an allways engaged AWD so I am justbfine with a RWD car.

Faster how? I havent driven the 8AT G87 yet so I will reserve judgment but even if the G42 M240 has more torque at low end, dont know if I would state its ultimately a "faster" car stock.

Bro I couldn't be bothered. thanks.

While you're at it with the flash tuning might as well add the XHP trans tune. Dialing in the torque limits by gear could help. I also assume a custom tune would help smooth out the power delivery to avoid the low-end torque slam.

Yes but there have been some issues with those trying to tune the TCU. Once those issues are 💯 resolved, I will also have that done.

Nice, i was hoping XHP would be an option at some point for the G87. Aside from adding the M Perf LSD to my car, XHP has been my favorite modification I've purchased.

BMW’s Xdrive in RWD architectures is absolutely an always engaged AWD. It’s not an on demand system as you’re implying.
Not important but a correction.

Let me correct myself, it is "variable" in that it changes the distribution to front/back/side to side as it deems necessary based on the conditions. Great under certain circumstances but nit necessarily under all.

Are you saying the 240 xdrive is faster than the M2 from 0-60. From a highway roll and faster on a race track? Can I have what you are smoking please?

He used the wrong word. Not faster, quicker.
0-60 can’t compare.

Go read the reviews online. Google is your friend. A stock M240i xDrive will do 60 in 3.8 seconds easily.

Read very closely...I said a G42 M240 RWD (not xdrive). I am also only going to post this once.

My original comment was about the xDrive models. Feel free to re-read it once.
