Ours is the best

The m240i is the best you can get.

I just finished reading an article about the 1M.
Lovely. If you can fit comfortably inside one.

I barely can’t, so the driving experience doesn’t really matter.
It’s like those people who say Miata is always the answer.
It’s not. GR86 / BRZ is the answer, because I don’t fit in a Miata, either, and those other two drive as well or better while also leaving room for a pack of gum.

Meanwhile, some people say the 240 falls short of the M2.
For me, it doesn’t. Not on the street. It’s just as fast (or barely faster) on any road that actually takes you somewhere. And it has adjustable dampers that make every road more enjoyable.

I’ll concede that we need to add the M-LSD to the M240i to really make this case, but once you do that, I think you have the better all around fun practical “sports car.” And for 10 grand less. I do like the M2’s wider hips, though.

In the end, when I look around (and I always do), there’s still nothing else I want more (which is scary, because I’m always shopping for my next car).

I love this car.
