I just got mine a few weeks ago, this is my first non SUV car and I don’t know what I’ve been doing all these years, it’s so much more fun to drive this car around the my previous cars!

I've had my '25 G42 for about 5 months now and love every second of driving it. The frozen grey metallic catches peoples eyes too.

I love mine, Just got this like 2 weeks ago. To me this is a M car. No M Lite more like a comfort M2 while the M2 is a straight performance M2. 😭

Have you driven the M2?
The two are FAR apart, and the 240i has nothing to do with the G87...
But, whatever makes you happy....

I don't think they are FAR apart. More like "far" (lowercase) apart. The M240 with x-drive is as fast as the M2 and the M240i "x-drive" is a traction monster in both dry and inclement weather. Rear wheel drive cars just cannot put the power down as efficiently.

If tracking is a consideration or the M2 is a second car, then I think that might make sense. If the M240 x-drive is an only car or one never plans to go to the track then the M240 x-drive might make more sense.

Both have a place. Now, if BMW would put x-drive in that M2 well...

Not me, the DRL's look too much like the DRL's on the awful 2019 Camaro refresh. I like the simple straight DRL of the regular headlights more.

The M2 is suppose to get the xDrive option next year.

The problem with the M2 if you are looking to daily it, is it's ride quality is awful. Yes, the M240i is stiff, but the M2 is overly harsh. I have driven my friends G87 M2 multiple times, and I just couldn't get past it. I even tried two others at dealers to make sure it wasn't just his. Plus, there is no reason for it to be that harsh. "It's a track car" is not an excuse, as my '17 Camaro SS 1LE is quicker on track than a M2, has wider/lower profile tires, and rides much better. The reason is GM's Magnetic Ride Control tuning is on another level compared to BMW's Adaptive M Suspensions tuning. If BMW could improve on that, it would make a world of difference, but BMW just seems to like to tune their suspensions very stiff for some reason. Toyotas suspension changes made a big difference on the GR Supra. It is just as quick on track as an M2 (with less power), yet it rides much better on the street.
