![]() Over the previous coupe, the new M240i is 105mm longer, 64mm wider and has a 51mm longer wheelbase. More significantly than the power and traction advantages, the new 2 Series now rolls on the same platform as the larger 3 Series and 4 Series dizygotic twins and it really shows. Number nerds will notice that the new coupe has more power than the M2 did when it was first introduced, prompting the question: Is the M240i more car for the cash? Well, after a first blast outside the model’s hometown of Munich, I have the answer. Add this to the extra traction and 0-100km/h acceleration has plummeted to 4.3 seconds (three tenths faster than the F22). Then there’s the 3.0-litre straight-six turbo-petrol engine that produces an extra 25kW, taking peak power to 275kW (torque is unchanged at 500Nm).
