It should go without saying that receiving this award from such venerated source of automotive journalism as Car and Driver magazine is a great honor for the BMW M2 / M240i, but not an entirely surprising one. The BMW M-Series was designed to blend the performance and exhilaration of motorsport with the practicality and everyday drivability of a luxury sedan, and no vehicle is more emblematic of that than the BMW M2 / M240i. With a responsively powerful engine and supremely refined cabin accented by some of BMW’s latest driver-assistive and convenience technologies, the BMW M2 / M240i is plenty capable for cruising around the roads of the Long Island area, yet in a pinch, it’s more than capable of opening up with surprising agility for passing maneuvers on the freeway.

Of course, as we mentioned before, the enticing blend of power and luxury that’s evident in the award winning BMW M2 / M240i is endemic to BMW’s M-Series lineup. And with so many BMW M-Series cars for sale here at Competition BMW of Smithtown, we’re confident that we have the perfect one for you just waiting at our Long Island BMW dealership, so don’t hesitate to stop in to test drive one for yourself today!

It will also have a top speed of 155 miles per hour. Time to shine.
