I just turned in my M240i off lease to BMW of Southpoint. Its a Mineral White M240i RWD 6 speed.
Its an incredible car! I work for BMW and both the M235 and M240 are lots of fun, the shorter wheel base over the 4 series makes the 2 series more fun to toss around.
the B58 is a superior engine to the N55 in every way. The N55 in the M235/335s had longer charge piping which are subject to blowing open. the B58 in the M240 and 340 has a super short charge pipe since the intercooler is built into the intake manifold. This means the boost comes on much faster and the torque much stronger! The B58 is also closed deck which makes it stronger. Just look at what the Supra guys are doing! They are making huge power from these engines with simple mods.
I have found that a basic intake.exhaust and a tune will outperform N55 engines with much more work done. So the b58 responds much better to mods.
