The automatic M2 is a hard sell over the M240i, as their powertrains are very similar on paper. Sure, the M2's output numbers are gaudier, but the M240i's overachieving B58 turbo six makes it almost as quick to 60 mph. Stay on it through the quarter-mile and the M2 will reign supreme, but does that make it special enough to justify the extra spend?
It's awesome that you can still get a manual in the M2, especially since a stick is no longer offered on the regular 2 Series. BMW was even kind enough to make it a no-cost option. We otherwise have a hard time recommending the M2 over the cheaper and nearly-as-awesome M240i, but is the M2 worth the stretch to get that stick? Of course it is.
