Had this same predicament earlier this year in March and went with the OG M2, 2018, black shadow edition with just under 30,000km on it.
Wanted it to be RWD and more of a handful, you have to work more to drive it, it seems more playful. Wife has the sensible daily so when we take the M2 I always want it to feel like a special occasion. The looks are night and day in comparison, the M2 has so much more presence. Will be driving it in the Canadian winter too, that was never a concern with a good set of winter tires. Bought full extended warranty up to 100,000km with no time limit - full piece of mind if anything does go wrong but it seems like they're fairly reliable if taken care of.
All in all the M2 just seems like a more special car, you feel like you're driving something iconic, the hype is real. The M240 is great but ultimately just another fun little sports car. I feel like if you get the M240 you'll always wonder about the M2 and think what if. There will be plenty of great awd sports cars, but there will not be another OG M2, light, nimble, and praised by all.
