之前分享了M2的試駕，後來有版友問到，是不是該把220換成240，主因應該是嫌220不夠 力。我沒開過220也沒開過240或235。 不過正好在網路上看到R&T的編輯們發表的這篇文章： http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a29245/bmw-2-series-comparison-test/ 他們一次比較了四台車：M2, 1M, 235i, 228i。 結論出人意料之外，他們認為四台中最均衡好開的是228i。之後的排名依序為M2>1M>235 有興趣的版友可以自行閱讀網路上的文章，部份內容節錄如下： ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (編輯先開了M2) Their primary requirement for the M2 is that it be able to dust any stoplight challengers with authority. 如果只要在停等紅燈後的起歩加速上贏過對手，M2是不二選擇。 Some of those young men read this magazine, and to them, I say: Place your order today, my friends. The M2 is a stout-hearted automobile with a brilliant stereo. The motor sounds wicked,......... It's shockingly comfortable. You won't be disappointed 對某些本雜誌的年輕讀者，我會說：趕快下訂吧。M2是一台配備良好音響的上上之選。 引擎浪聲棒極了，...........它舒服到令人不可思議的地歩，不會令你失望。 (再換開M235i) On paper, the M2 beats the M235i by 45 horses; on the open road, it's more substantial than that. The brakes, too, are strong and fade-free from all speeds. 規格上，M2比235i多了45匹馬力。在開放的道路上，M2勝過的不止如此。它的剎車也一樣 強，在任何速度下都沒有衰退。 In all other respects, though, this M2 is exactly as BMW advertises. If you loved the E46 M3, this is as close as you'll get in a new car from the same company. 在其餘的部份，M2也一如BMW廣告所言。如果你曾愛過E46 M3，這是同一家公司的新車裡最 接近它的一台車。 Next up: the M235i. There's no connection whatsoever to what the front wheels are doing. The steering has been tuned to deliver a reassuring amount of weight, but that weight smothers road feedback. With the M2, you're always aware of the moment in a corner where the outside front tire starts to roll onto the shoulder, and with the 1M, you're sort of browbeaten by that and other extraneous information. But with the M235i, you'd better drop the windows and listen for the change in what I like to think of as "the song of the tread." 駕駛者感受不到M235i的前輪動態。儘管方向盤被調整到具有一定的重手程度，但是那重量 掩蓋了路感的回饋。在M2上，在彎道中，你總是可以察覺外側的前輪何時開始向路肩滾動 。但在M235上，你最好降下窗戶側耳傾聽路況的變化。 (接著他換開228) One fast left-right corner later, though, and I realize what a fool I've been. Yes, the motor is still indifferent at best, but don't believe the hype; until the 24-valve E36 325i in the early 1990s, no small Bimmer had a truly transcendent powerplant. It was balance that made the 2002 and its successors legendary, and this 228i has it in spades. The steering: light as a feather but as truthful in your hands as an electric rack could possibly be. With a mere flex of the fingers, the 228i dives for the apex in a single smooth motion. The difference in weight over the nose between the turbo sixes and the turbo four can't be that much, but it's enough to imbue this most modest of 2-series coupes with a higher consciousness. 228i明顯動力不足，但在過了個快速左右彎後，才發現事情不是憨人所想的那麼簡單。引 擎依然沒力，但是，它傳遞的熱情令人不可置信。超卓的動力向來不是小BMW的強項，穩 定均衡才是2002造就它傳奇地位的亮點。而228正是如此。它的方向盤輕如牛毛，但在你 的掌握之中卻如實精準，如軌道上的電車。指間收縮之際，就能一氣合成的使228流暢的 駛向彎中頂點。在車頭前六缸和四缸渦輪引擎間的重量差異其實並不大，但已足以造成兩 台2系列給駕駛者不同的駕乘感受。 "The 235i is numb," Okulski complains. "You can get more out of the tires in the 228i, even though the absolute limit isn't as high." 235毫無路感可言。雖然228實際的極限不如235，但你可以在228上得到更多輪胎的回饋。 節錄結束。 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 基本上，M235i已經過去了，新一代的M240也已在歐洲上市。具網路目前的反應看來，動 力不下M2，也有部分M2車主開始抱怨為何M2一開始不採用新的B48引擎，而要用性能較差 的N55。不過，車子和手機一樣，愈晚出的規格愈高，也愈便宜(有嗎？) 總之，愛直線加速的，M240i應該不會令人失望。 而享受操駕樂趣的，四缸的228(台灣好像沒進)，或許留下220i改個晶片是CP值最高的做 法。 --
