Nearly 18 months that I've owned the M240i, and enjoyed it overall. Kept it simple (so called purist) and cheap: Manual shift and passive.
Drove it mostly on weekends (not a daily driver) since I bike to work.
There are quite a few negative posts on the M240i here and I read most of them. I agree with the issue of body roll that I found very annoying at times. The rest is irrelevant to me as I try to drive within the legal limits most of the time. I must admit being an average driver at best (have not figured out heel and toe shifting yet).
I am now looking for a weekender that is more fun than the 240i and around the £30k range. An ideal car would be the 718 cayman but £42k is above my budget, let alone running costs.
Something slightly more powerful than a GT86 and more fun that a golf R or S3/RS3/TTS. Not particularly attached to RWD consider that I live in Southeast Wales where it rains 400 days a year.
Any advice?
