Yep. Particularly when you consider the price differences.

BMW M240i: $45,300, Passenger Capacity: 4, Trunk Volume (cu. ft.): 13.8
Jaguar F-Type 400 Sport: $89,500, Passenger Capacity: 2, Trunk Volume (cu. ft.): 7.3 Aston Martin V8 Vantage: $121,295, Passenger Capacity: 2, Trunk Volume (cu. ft.): 10.6 One of these things is not like the other. Why was the 240 even in competition with the other two? The fact that it kept up speaks volumes. Not sure if it's to how great the BMW is or how poor the other two are, but it at least says something!

Interesting, and fun to watch, but really, is there anybody on earth who is cross shopping a 240 with an Aston Martin or an F-type?

Price wise, no contest. The M240i won hands down.

An M2 would have beaten the other two - and would have been a fairer comparison too

And the BMW will spend a lot less time than the Jag on a recovery truck too

Silly comparison. Try doing the same run 10 times in a row and I'd be surprised if the 2-series even finishes.
Racing is all about being fast lap after lap after lap.
