Moto-Man G42 M240 review. He liked it, wished it was RWD and had a manual: https://youtu.be/x8kRhJe4jpk

Sorry. But for a 2 series? Remind me again why no all wheel drive Subaru weighs this much? Or the Golf R? Or the S3 or RS3? Oh that’s right. Because they all top out at 3500lbs. I think it’s all great a BMW can mimic a DSG and can go in a straight line. But BMW is notorious for adequate brakes. And then this porcine weight. Yeah. No thanks.

Guys, I’m just pointing out that you can add horsepower to a lead sled, but you still need to brake and need to slalom in said “sports car”. And you’re at the mercy of typical BMW brakes (yuck) and limits of how wide the tires you can put on said car.
If you, for example, read the scathing review of the new Merc EQ580, the main complaint is that it’s damn near 6000 lbs and doesn’t do anything particularly well. For this wheelbase and footprint, I cannot take a BMW M240 seriously. This is a fucking joke.
