- Wanted to make a little video now that I have completed 3 months of my relationship with my 2022 BMW M240i! Also it took me this long to find out about the Sprint mode which I consider to be hidden to those who dont read the owners manual which seems to be many.

Sprint mode. Nice find! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching! Looks like its available in 2021 and newer M Performance cars. Please like, share and subscribe!
love it bro, have had mines since november and i still get butterflies getting in it
Thank you for watching! I feel like a new man driving this car!
good to learn something new! thanks!
Thank you for watching! Don't like those challengers pass
Thank you Allen! You are very clean and nice. Now i know new function of my m240i (sprint) and Emergency key.
Thank you for watching! Please subscribe as I will continue to make content with my M240i as I find new ways to do so!
This is the reason I watch TH-cam. Great Info! Thanks
Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed it! Please like, share and subscribe!
Wow what a neat feature to have. I certainly never knew about it until now having owned many BMW's in the past. Thanks for sharing.
PS: That purple colour is just gorgeous.
Thank you for watching! I was pleasantly suprised also by the SPRINT function.
Thanks for that great information 🙏🏼🙏🏼 I’ll check this out when the 2k km are done😉 Greetings from Berlin Germany ✌🏻
Thank you for watching! Its a really cool feature which I'm glad it has as its a really good one!
Great video man! I found out about the sprint function on my m240i when I read through the digital manual lol. I have the same color, thundernight metallic ! Keep up the cool vids!
Thank you for watching! BMW rewards people like us who actually read the owner's manual lol
Lol… I had accidentally put it in Sprint mode one day and was amazed. I showed it to a couple of buddies at work. Glad you made this video, because I didn’t know how to get it back to the mode I was previously in. I just thought it held it in Sprint forever 😁 I do love the Jekyll and Hyde nature of the 240i. Good video once again 👍🏾
Thank you for watching! I hadn't heard much about this so I knew I had to share it with you guys! The car is so awesome for being 2 cars in one lol
Thank you so much for sharing this!! I just picked up my G42 and was thinking of how inconvenient it was to switch from ecopro to sport/manual when I wanted to pass someone. You rock!🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for watching! Congratulations, welcome to the gang! It is indeed an awesome feature and I see you have an Evo X in your profile pic, I had one also! Please like, share an subscribe!
great video! considering getting one as well.
Thank you for watching! You won't be disappointed!
You need to have the "Shadowline" package to get the "Sprint" feature, with the U.S. spec'd M240i, anyway. Another interesting tidbit for U.S. spec'd cars .... the only way to get the flared fenders and wider tires is by adding the "Cooling and High Performance Tire Package," which I believe is called the "Pro Pack" in another countries.
Thank you for watching! Interesting, didn't know that! Yeah the "Cooling and High Performance" here is called M Sport Pro. Also if you don't have Black Vernasca with Blue contrast stitching, no drifting knee pad. Weird right? lol
Allen, thanks for the information. I picked up my M240i yesterday at the BMW Performance Center delivery and learning about it now. I am sure it will take awhile to fully understand everything. OBTW, back in 2001 I lived about 4 miles from your dealership on Lake Driveway West. Only lived there two years, but enjoyed the area. Keep up the great videos. Thanks.
Thank you for watching! Congratulations on the G42! You didn't have a Genius orient you through the entire vehicle? If you are ever back in Durham Region come say hi! Please like, share and subscribe!
@@AllenBMWDurham Yes I did have a Genius, but he must have missed that detail. Keep up the great content. Take care.
cool video! looking to get an m240i next year
Thank you for watching! I love my M240i!
Thats really cool
Thank you for watching! I thought so too!
The sprint function is basically a kickdown but using the paddles in stead of the pedal.
Here's what the manual says:
Activating
1. Keep the left shift paddle pulled until SPRINT
is displayed in the instrument cluster.
▷ The transmission shifts down to the low‐
est possible gear and switches to manual
operation M.
▷ A dynamic setting has been activated for
the drivetrain.
2. Change gears manually.
Automatic deactivation
The Sprint function is ended automatically when
driving moderately for a defined period of time.
Manual deactivation
▷ Keep the right shift paddle pulled until
SPRINT is no longer displayed in the instru‐
ment cluster.
▷ In addition to the pulled right shift paddle, pull
the left shift paddle.
▷ Press the selector lever from selector lever
position S to D
Thank you for watching! Essentially the Sprint function is a kick down to the lowest gear but what makes it good is that it also puts the car into Sport and back again.
Can the car upshift automatically while in sprint mode?
this car is a beautiful beast...waiting for mine...delivery soon::))
Thank you for watching! Hope it arrives swiftly!
Thanks for the Sprint mode info. I looked it up in the owner's manual and found that only by holding the left paddle will activate sprint mode (no need to floor the accelerator the same time). Here is what the manual says "
Activating
1. Keep the left shift paddle pulled until SPRINT is displayed in the instrument cluster.
The transmission shifts down to the lowest possible gear and switches to manual operation M.
A dynamic setting has been activated for the drivetrain.
2. Change gears manually."
Thank you for watching! I love the Sprint function!
You don’t even need to kick down the pedal, sprint mode is not meant to drive like a maniac. You can simply hold the minus pedal, once you see sprint and the car has downshifted you can accelerate to desired speed or until you have overtaken whoever and as soon as you begin cruising again it’ll revert back to whatever mode you were in. No wonder you get bad mpg if you keep flooring it past kickdown. lol nevertheless, good video as always.
lol i'm a maniac
"FASTER, FASTER!" Throwing your 3yo daughter under the bus about your bad fuel mileage made me laugh 😂😂😂 This is car on my short list, and would go straight to the top if offered with a manual transmission. The 2023 Supra is reportedly getting a manual, so I'm holding out hope for the 2er. Great video - thanks
Thank you for watching! Haha sometimes says "Faster, faster!" then "Whoa careful Daddy" lol The Supra is getting a manual and I am jealous but I need back seats or car is a no go unfortunately.
@@AllenBMWDurham actually, *because* the Supra is getting a manual, I’m hoping BMW puts one in the M240i. Based upon Doug DeMuro’s description of the engineering, I’m not sure BMW marketing department will decide to do that. I’m “cautiously optimistic” lol
@@billwhite8711 Haha I appreciate your optimism, however I'm sure BMW is reserving the transmission just for the M2 as another special treat to celebrate 50 years of ///M!
I have something similar to sprint mode on my F82 with DCT using kickdown and left paddle shifter
Thank you for watching! They all have a kick down gear function by pressing and holding the down shift paddle however the difference is also switching the to the sportier mode. Like going to the lowest gear in your F82 as well as going to your aggressive M Config button automatically if you weren't already there. Good knowledge either way. Please like, share and subscribe!

This makes me feel so much better about my MPG. I'm at about 18.6 MPG in my 2023 x4 m40i. Everyone I see online seems to do much better (at least 22 mpg), I thought I was nuts. If I convert your lifetime usage to mpg its about 16.7 mpg so I feel better lol. Oh and I love that you're repping the W ;)
Thank you for watching! Its not just a measure of your fuel economy, its how much fun you had in the car lol and yes Wu-Tang is for the children, glad you notice!
I'm at 10k miles and my lifetime fuel economy is 29.4 mpg (8L/100KM) On my last two road trips I averaged about 80 mph and had 37-38 mpg (6.1L/100KM) over 1000 miles. I'm really impressed with how fuel efficient it can be if you drive conservatively.
Great video series, question what option is the adaptive suspension in” When ordering this car
Thank you for watching! I had it as a standalone option in mine
Wow, quite thirsty, Allen! After 2 years, my B58 (240i pre OPF RWD) overall consumption is 9.5l driving sporty and relaxed in a mix (living in the countryside). But in the first months 11-12l, checking out the fun factor :o) My all time „record“ is 6.1l on a single trip - still kind of fun, driving very anticipatory and with a lot of coast/sailing usage in eco mode and using truck slipstream a few times - of course mostly cross-country, no big cities and just little stop and go. nevertheless absolutely stunning for a 3l IL6 in my opinion… but to be honest, i never managed to do that again. :-) But „normal“ trips with about 8-8,5l are no problem with this engine. Greetings from southern Bavaria!
Thank you for watching and thank you for your comment! I just challenged myself on the weekend to see how good fuel economy I could get on a family outing and I was able to achieve 5.7l/100kms by using eco pro, maximizing coasting and simply not pressing the throttle. Normally I couldn't do this but with my family in the car and some beautiful scenery it wasn't so bad. Promptly after returning home I started going sideways in Sport + and ruined all my efforts but good to know it can be done if I can smarten up! Also I think its cool that people all over the world leave me comments, especially from the BMW mother land.
I was driving a UK 220i and the Sprint mode function never showed in the instrument cluster. However when holding the downshift the car would still downshift to the lowest possible gear and enter manual mode exactly the same. Even though sprint mode wasn’t technically enabled
Thank you for watching! Without it saying SPRINT the only difference is that it won't also put you into sport.
Lovely car. Just curious you didn’t get the pro pack with the wider front wheels? Considering this as my next car and was just curious.
Thank you for watching! I didn't get the M Sport Pro Package, the added performance is nice but the car doesn't really need it, it already performs great! Don't like the over fenders and wasn't an option for me when I got my car. Please like, share and subscribe!
That mode is so convenient haha good to know got try it next time, btw do you allow to not have front plate in Ontario?
Thank you for watching! We are required to have a front plate in Ontario, I just couldn't be the one to drill the bumper on this beautiful beast. I'll take the risk for now.
Allen, thanks for the tip. This is by far the best tip yet regarding the m240i. I purchased a Brooklyn gray all blacked out and loaded. Everything but the brake / cooling package because I had to have black rims. Love this freaking car so much I put down a deposit on a 2023 M2. Doesnt make sense, right, love the car so buy a different one, however that strategy has served me well in the past with WRX/STI and Audi s4. So here is my problem. I am following the launch control instructions as outlined by everyone including BMW and you in one of your videos. Cant get it to work. I am not flooring it all the way before launch because the engine is trying to push through the breaks and the car tends to creep forward and grind the brakes. Is this normal and I should just floor it and potentially grind up the brakes if the pressure is not relieved on its own by entering launch control. Called the genius and he told me that you have to drive the car 6 miles before launch control will engage and everytime you turn the car off the clock is reset. Let me know what you think and keep up the good work. BTW do you guys have a 2023 M2 wait / deposit list yet
Thank you for watching! Tell me the steps for launch control as you would do them.
@@AllenBMWDurham SportPluse, Shifter left, traction once, brake and accelerator. Tried the first 3 steps in every conceivable order and drivetrain is grinding through the brakes so I have to back off the accelerator. Keep in mind I am usually in sport plus to begin with. In meantime enjoying Sprint mode quite a bit. Lets me cruise highways in EcoPro and effortlessly access power in sprint
@@HotelMarte the fact that you're saying the car is grinding through the brakes sounds like you aren't jamming on the brakes hard enough, the car should literally just squat, once all the boost builds, you release your left foot and hold on for dear life
@@AllenBMWDurham I hope thats the case I will jam on the brake harder and see. I have had no trouble with launch control on my GTI, but yea maybe Im not standing on the brake hard enough. thanks
Cool thank you for the tip , I’m going to try this out on my car.
Btw, I noticed that you’re driving with your AC on even despite it being a very cool day. given your voiced concern about maximizing fuel economy, why not just turn off the AC on cool days?
It won’t save you a ton of fuel but it’s still something , no?
Thank you for watching! There are tons of things I could do to further improve fuel economy, no remote start, no a/c, drive with windows closed on highways etc. Here is my fuel economy video th-cam.com/video/viEVr2uwWGo/w-d-xo.html
Apparently the “sprint” function is added to cars that are either an M Performance car or a BMW fitted with the M Sport Pro package. Very interesting…
Thank you for watching! Yes, great feature for this type of vehicle!
Wish we had option for the standard 19 wheels in black over here in Ireland, seems we are yet again only country to get shafted on something automotive related 😂
every country gets shafted someway lol
@@AllenBMWDurham Well that's actually a fair point 😅 Though in Ireland cars cost about 50% more as well
To engage sprint mode, there's no need to floor the gas pedal.
you are correct but engaging sprint and not flooring it is nonsensical lol
Hi Allen
I've never owned or driven or been in a moving bmw. Whats the big red car icon on 6:45ish. Is that standard feature for 240i?
Thank you for watching! That was the frontal collision warning system warning me that I was getting a little close to the car infront of me. It is a standard intelligent safety feature. You really need to get in a moving BMW.
Great video! Just put a deposit down for a 23 😁
Thank you for watching! Nice you will get iDrive8 and a beautiful curved display!
Didn't know... thanks!!! Instead of downshifting ...
Thank you for watching! I was really excited to share this feature when I discovered it!
Do you have the Cooling and High Performance Tire Package?
Thank you for watching, I do not. Please like, share and subscribe!
Do I have to kick the gas pedal all the way to the floor?
if you just hold the left paddle it will initiate sprint mode but unless your foot is all the way down you're not really "sprinting"
does it need to wait for 6months to get a new 240 now?
Thank you for watching! Approximately, do you plan to order one?
Can the car upshift automatically while in sprint mode?
Thank you for watching! Since the car will not upshift for you in manual mode and Sprint Function puts you in manual mode, it won't shift up for you. Please like, share and subscribe!
is this available for the 230i?
Thank you for watching! We don't have the 230i anymore in our line up in Canada for this model year, however as far as I understand, since this is a feature for M Performance models, it would probably kick you down to the lowest available gear, but not change modes and it won't say SPRINT on the dash. Please like, share and subscribe!
that g37 with his isr exhaust lol
haha you saw that? lol there were people all around me revving under the tunnel but I edited it out lol
If it's AMG you enable sprint. If it's an RS you enable eco.
Thank you for watching! lol
Wow lucky you were able to have a supporting wife with child to allow 2- series! How do you find installing and removing the child seat fitment in the back seat?
Thank you for watching! I am very lucky in many ways and I try to show gratitude! I'm really quick now at removing the seat from my car and moving it to the wifes car and back. I can do it in under 5 mins now.
damn man! I’m at 10.1 L/100km
Thank you for watching! I used to get that in my Golf lol
Wu-Tang!!!
Wu-Tang is for the children!
No problem with 2 children too :) Trust me.
Thank you for watching! I'll take your word for it!
Whatttt🤯🤯🤯🤯 im try in 2 more months..😭😭😅🤣
Thank you for watching! BMW brings a smile to my face lol
@@AllenBMWDurham my is in just got wait until Wednesday to pick it up

bro you're not supposed to go over 4500 rpm or 100mph for the first 1200 miles haha
Could not resist. My bad.
Where are the angles 👀 eyes? Failed design. Don't think I can park this car walk away , look back at it with a smile on face. More like , I should have saved my money.
So you don’t like it and therefore it’s a “failed design”? What about personal choice? I think it looks absolutely amazing and I know many many others do to.
Thank you for watching! I think this is one of the best looking vehicles in BMW's current line up and I love looking back at it each time I park it. Please like, share and subscribe!
