As someone who's close to ordering an M240i, this thread is literally my biggest fear.
This fear of not loving the car, or eventually getting over it, is the reason I test drove a Mercedez Benz C450 AMG yesterday - and that was a fantastic ride with lots of power behind it. It didn't quite have the same road feel, but it had a much more comfortable cabin and it was something I could get used to.
So being afraid of not "loving" the M240i is a real problem. And if we're being honest, the car's appeal is almost 100% with how it drives. It's not THAT luxurious inside, it's not very roomy, it doesn't get great gas mileage, and aside from estoril blue that's just been detailed it isn't all too much of a head turner or a looker, especially compared to the M2. So all you've really got is the sweet engine sound and the steering feel. If I bought this car and got over that with time, I'd be really disappointed. But if I was stepping into a Merc interior, that might feel better.
