Also known as the N55, this powerplant has been in use since 2009, and is known for its smoothness and considerable output. Huge thanks to Greg for lending his car for this review! Interior appointments are first-rate, and the iDrive control system is logical once mastered. While not revolutionary, these new features will go a long way in bringing the M-influenced 2 Series up to spec. Standard specification includes M Sport suspension lowered by 10 millimetres, 18-inch M light-alloy wheels in exclusive double-spoke design, an M Sport braking system, Variable Sports Steering with Servotronic function, a model-specific M aerodynamic package and exterior mirror caps in Ferric Grey metallic.
This entry-level Benz gets all the bells and whistles as the rest of the stable, but in a more compact package.

Bought both the charge pipe and intercooler to avoid taking the bumper and belly pan off again anytime soon. The eight-speed Steptronic Sport transmission provides top-class shift dynamics and, in addition to the Launch Control function delivering traction-optimised acceleration off the line, also offers a predictive shift strategy.
With this new level of output, the M240i looks like it might undercut the M2. The standard six-speed manual gearbox fitted in the compact M Performance Automobiles offers an engagement speed control function to deliver exceptionally smooth gear changes. The driver-centric design will feature a three-poke, M-branded multifunction steering wheel wrapped in leather, as well as a brushed-metal dead pedal. More brushed metal will be used for the trim elsewhere, while wood and carbon fiber will also be available.

The tail is neatly rounded, with a subtle lip spoiler attached to the trailing edge of the trunk, plus there is a flat-black lower insert that houses dual polished exhaust tips. The back seats will comfortably fit 2 adults in a pinch, and it has much better proportions that the 1 series it replaced.

The extra dynamic potency heralded by the further developed powertrain technology is reflected by significantly improved acceleration values.
