M2 vs M240i roll race
Just came across this video of Joe Achilles roll racing the M240i he recently reviewed. The two cars are nearly identical from the second race. The M240i jumped the gun on the first race, therefore pulling on the M2. 0.32 is where the second race starts.

Take in mind that there's only a skinny guy in the m240i and two stockier men in the M2. Weight being equal, things would be different.

M240i will get faster if they release the M power kit (from current 340hp to 355hp+)

This has been posted before... one of the more poorly set up comparison races I have seen - almost impossible to get a feel for the relative quickness of the two cars. But it seems biased toward the M240i and the better driver was just too polite to tell his friend "it wouldn't have been so close if you didn't suck!" (in the full video).
Every time you see the host with that little "oh shit" panic look in his eyes he is letting up on the throttle a bit. |

It's the B58 which is no joke. Throw on a tune with big turbo and the M2 should be just about the perfect all-around performance car.

Closer to the end they have the camera guy switch cars leaving the M2 driver alone. The results are the same.

let's not forget the M240i has 8 speed auto vs M2's 7 speed DCT. i think the video makes perfect sense how M2 was faster right off the bat but M240i started to walk the M2 at higher speed. i think the difference in tranny explains the outcome very well.

Another way bmw to think properly when they develop cars. M2 is the top of the range for the 2 series, no manufacturer would make the 2nd tier car equal or faster.
I know I know the M2 is more track focus but still M240 shouldn't be on par or faster.

"2nd tier car" lol anyone that's seen what the B58 puts down saw this coming a year ago. The cars are almost identical in price with all of the handling light years ahead in the M2. Does it really matter? No. The point of these videos is to make you think it does though.
