I'm going to see how much faster it is in the 1/4 vs map 1 and CA91 but the butt dyno appreciates it

Excellent. Should keep you from getting bored - for, I'm guessing, about 2 months...

Absolutely spot on. The M240i in stock form is very respectable when comparing to dedicated muscle cars (0-60 in low 4's and 1/4 mile in the high 12's is damn good for a little coupe).

If you want a punch feel go get a motorcycle! The 2 series handles good and that makes it both a good daily driver and a good weekend car.

I cross shopped this with an M4 and c63s and at first felt that this was the smart option as it saved me considerable money but after a few months I'm thinking maybe it was a mistake not to go for the big brother.

I love the size of the car and the ride feel but knowing that BMW gimped this hard and there won't likely be a flash tune available for years to come has me looking at lightly used M4s again, did anyone else have the same lagging buyers remorse after 5k miles?

Felt same about the 435

Its the xdrive, its just no fun. Extra power wont solve your issues unless its double what you got now.

Also had the idea and went M4 shopping first used then planed for a euro delivery but after a hard test drive i was disappointed and bailed on the buy. Great car but not enough for the price.

If vroom/power is all you care about, you may be in the same boat as me and muscle might be the only answer.
