By comparison, it doesn’t look like the new BMW M240i stands a chance. It’s 3.0-litre turbocharged straight-six has 374hp and 500Nm of torque. It’s heavier than the M2 as well, coming in at 1,690kg. However, the M-light is packing a secret weapon, in the form of all-wheel-drive. Pair this with the launch control system and it should get off the line quicker.
