Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

Demanding drivers: 2nd of 13 in Power-to-weight (229 hp/t). 2nd of 13 in Power-to-weight (229 hp/t).

Less suitable for

Frequent urban trips with stop-and-go. At 8,2 L/100 km on the combined cycle, consumption rises in the city without electric assistance. An HEV or PHEV would be more economical for this use profile.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the BMW M2 (1st with 4.1 s) takes the lead. If the priority is Top speed, the BMW M2 (1st with 285 km/h) takes the lead.

Acceleration: 4.7 s 0-100 (7th of 13 in 0–100 km/h)

In pure acceleration, the M240i Coupé ranks 7th of 13 in 0–100 km/h, 0.6 s off the reference BMW M2 (4.1 s).

Top speed: 250 km/h (11th of 13 in Top speed)

Top speed of 250 km/h. The segment reference reaches 285 km/h.

BMW M240i Coupé: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Among the 13 compacts 2020–2024, the M240i Coupé ranks 7th of 13 in 0–100 km/h (4.7 s, behind the BMW M2), 11th of 13 in Top speed (250 km/h, behind the BMW M2), 2nd of 13 in Power-to-weight (229 hp/t, behind the BMW M2).

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

The BMW M2 leads in 0–100 km/h (4.1 s vs 4.7 s). The choice depends on your priorities: check the M240i Coupé vs BMW M2 duel for a detailed comparison.

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
