BMW deserves credit for popularising the two-door, four-seater sports car when it introduced the 2002 performance saloon in 1968. With its distinctively neat three-box styling, sharp handling and spirited performance, the two-litre car was an instant hit. Today, the BMW 2002 is a much sought-after classic and there are a few very nice ones on our roads.
Although BMW calls it a coupe, the new M240i is very much the spiritual successor to the famous 2002 - now with a separate boot and brilliant performance. Being based on the 3 and 4-Series, it is longer and wider than its predecessor, the M235i. In fact, its interior styling is almost identical to its more expensive siblings and built to the same high-quality standards. Until the range-topping M2 arrives in Singapore, this is the top performer in the 2-series model range. It is also the only version that is available with four-wheel-drive as standard.
Perhaps not what one might call a conventionally head-turning car, the M240i is nonetheless neatly styled and muscular looking. Overall, the M240i is from every angle unmistakably a BMW, which is the first thing that would make the enthusiast happy.
