But that can get very tiring when used as a daily. It's way too tail happy and can be an overall jerky ride (and that's true for all M cars). Bottom line, it's a true track car, and less a daily car. On the other hand, the M240i was just a better overall package. Above excellent dynamics, power, torque, etc. But above all, it was more tame and easier to drive on a daily basis (for me at least). Weird, but the only thing I didn't like in the M240i was the shitty carpeting (for some reason BMW does not give a lot of love for that car—by design of course). In my opinion, the "M"-type 2-series cars are the best cars in BMW's lineup, no exaggeration.
Makes sense. So similar reasoning to those who go from an M3 to say, an M340i. Better for daily driving.
