It will be. We're probably looking at another year or two before the DME is cracked, but I plan on keeping my car till spring 2023, so hopefully a flash tune will coincide with the end of my factory warranty (doing ~17k a year, so spring 2020 I'll be at 50k). Just gonna install meth for now.

If you get a great deal the M240i is the bargain of the century. |

I drove a perfect condition E46M and my M2 back to back recently. After all these years of missing and regretting E46M, I do not miss E46M at all after that drive.

I originally wanted an M2 but my dealer didnt have one.
I drove the m240i and loved it. Put the M2 performance exhaust on it and love the sound. I can also put a Dinan Stage 1 tune on it, keep the factory warranty, and bump the HP to over 400HP. Plus even with the exhaust my m240i only cost 46k after discounts. I'm happy. My salesman said as a daily driver I would be happier with the m240i over the M2 anyways. M2 is a better track toy. |

What he said.^^^^^
I don't see BWM ever doing a convertible M2, but an M4 with a drop top, now that sounds intriguing, especially considering the next 4 Series will likely come with a soft top, more power and few less lbs. It may still be too big, but we'll just have to wait and see.

No, probably not. Agree an M4 vert would be pricey, but many folks spend much bigger money on high performance cars which will never see even a second of track time or even high speed street time. How many Porsche's, Ferarri's, Jaguars, etc., etc. see track time? For that matter, I'd venture to say of all the various "M" cars sold, less than 25% see any track time. As much as I'd love a true "M" car or a Boxster S or 911, I have no interest in driving it on the track and at 56, I am no street racer either. One can always dream of driving something special, even if just to dinner with the wife.

And please don’t tell me you never “expanded on the truth”, everyone does it to some level, it’s just others do it with more precision. And BTW, in the previous thread where the salesman said the M240i is a better “daily driver” than an M2, he is 100% absolutely correct.

I know that, I am not a kid. Don't think I did not go do my own research, LOL. There are plenty of articles, reviews, and posts talking about direct comparisons between the M2 and M240i. |

The M240i has the power to make it a sporty car but lacks in certain areas while the M2 is a sports car with the whole package, if you want something a little more serious. However, the M2 is now a $60k car at MSRP if you're going DCT. |

In the USA, it's an easy choice. In Canada, there is a legit $20K difference with respective builds. It is in another league of cost.
What's better? That's up to only the end user.. Don't let someone else's convictions weigh in on your decision for a cost-effective purchase. More = Less in a lot of scenerio's, likes this.

I paid about 11% below MSRP (w/incentives) on a special-order '18 M240i purchase. No haggling necessary, even. A fantastic dealer experience all around.
