I don't really get why people will call a 2 series a 'step up' or an upgrade and why they insist on calling the twins 'entry level'. Less expensive doesn't mean inferior and personally I see having to spend less money on a rapidly depreciating asset as a 'step up'. I had an M235 and I sold it to buy an 86. BMW was more luxurious and powerful, but the 86 handles better, is more engaging to drive, and significantly more reliable (plus having a spare tire is amazing).
The two cars put up surprisingly comparable autox times, so I think it's fair to say that performance trade offs are not vastly in favor of one or the other. I'm sure OP will have fun with the 240, I know I had some fun with my 235, I just don't know why on a brz/frs/86 forum everyone is so quick to sell our cars short. |

Not selling our cars short and it is not an insult to call them an entry level car. Toyota built, priced and marketed it as an entry level car. Those are their very words when describing it. That does not mean it is inferior in any way just simply that there are indeed cars that rank above it in performance. It is in some great company as an entry level car (Number 7 is funny) https://www.autobytel.com/sports-car...s-cars-128737/#

I almost bought an M235i instead of my BRZ.
Picked the BRZ because: - BRZ felt more fun to drive, it was a pure toy - M235i has similar, but way less loaded interior than my previous 435i M Performance. Didn't want to keep hating on the half loaded beemer interior every time I go for a drive. - Found a well priced BRZ tS which looked more unique compared to the M235is I found & had almost brand new mileage |
