      The cars offer more now. They may be you know kinda gay now but they offer so much more and perform so much better especially for daily use and reliability. You really get what you paid for with this one especially on the new 2023 model with the idrive 8 system that prioritizes voice command usage for a lot of shit.

      @@duncanidaho7494 fuck the iPad gauges..you now have a an accurate personal assistant, more power, more control although sensory feedback is dissapointing yes, but visual feedback is treat. If you don't like the screens I understand bruv but get used to it, I just bought one of these for 60k but meanwhile I just found an 2005 e46 m3 in prestine condition for 70k. Hell of a car the e46 was but I no way shape or form is it or should it have ever been worth anywhere near that. The cars they are making now in my opinion are more bang for your buck than it's ever been. We used to pay to drive, now the drive has 100 features included on top of what already came before ..for less.

    I replaced my much loved 2018 BMW 440i with a M340i purely because I didn’t like the huge grill on the new 4-Series. The M340i has also been a brilliant and faultless car but it does seem a bit needlessly large for me (I rarely carry anyone in the back). I am therefore thinking about downsizing whilst keeping the 374bhp engine to the M240i the looks of which I really like.

    I might be the odd man out because I love the way the new M240i looks.
    I like look of a car that has a long front end with sort of a short rear. Kinda like the Merc GT R.
    If you are at the BMW dealership and looking for a Coupe I don't see how anyone in their right mind buys a M440i over the M240i .

I was saying something about the bmw.. yes,..., I saw one and, in the flesh, the body of the car is so "hulked up" it makes the 19" wheels look a size too small. I did not mind the back of it.. liked the profile and on the roads I drove today in the second part of my trip(after a rain/half wet snowflakes), that xdrive would have been exactly what the doctor ordered.

      It is pity that bmw makes heavier cars on these days. This coupe is 1750Kg!
      As a sports car the weight should be close to 1500 Kg ish.

      I'm in the older version 2019 F22 230i xDrive..with the Track Package and did test drive it back to back with the then M240i xDrive. I preferred the lighter, more nimble driving feel of the 4 cylinder powered 2 series and don't need/miss the admittedly stronger B58 powered version....lower initial cost plus better gas mileage and less expensive insurance. I still enjoy a few autocross days and on track driving events. Test them both if you can find 'em together!

    hello. I didn't like the design of the M240i at first. I didn't like the headlights and taillights. In reality, it looks different ... much better. I like it now. Brooklyn gray and shadow line I think look best. I think for how much you pay, the car offers a lot. It's a good platform for the future M2. Seeing the black color now ... I think it looks good. All colors are ok. I'm waiting for a long time review. good luck

The new m240 will be even better than ever with the new interior and xdrive. The couple of things for me I would miss is the manual gearbox, the quad pipes and noise. I want an old school feeling car like my m2 as I don’t do many miles so I don’t need an auto or it to be a more comfortable drive if you know what I mean. I had a 1m and have missed it ever since selling it so the m2 is the next best thing for me and compared to the 1m it’s a lot more of a better daily!

    It seems Australia takes a different approach to the packs. We have the M Sport Plus package which includes the shadow line lights and black accents, and m seat belts, then the Executive Package which includes nonsense stuff like sun glazing and a heated steering wheel. We can upgrade the wheels which include the ‘performance tyres’ as a stand alone option.

    blak color works out well because it masks the weird lines of the fake air intakes on the front bumper

    I would like to see one in white just to see if the disjointed surfacing jumps out. This could have been a real beauty.

    Hey just got mine, managed to get a brand new 80 miles pre-facelift interior, thank god, the new screen is horrendous. Any chance, what phone mount are you using?

    So does the star marked tire rule for BMW not count on this car then?

    Interesting re the tyres, are the rears 265/35/19? Interested due to * rated for M2 option.
    Seats look v nice. Had a 3 series loan when my rear screen failed and super comfortable.
