Almost every M performance ( M light ) car is better then full M car for most people and every day driving. Your reviews comes from the heart that why they are honest. It’s actually similar way like BMW M division been thinking for ages. They won’t be able to do it much longer. Let’s enjoy this car it may be the very last model like this. Future classic I guess.
I think the M240 is optimized for the road and the M2 adds more juice and dynamics for the track. As a daily driver, the M240 hots the sweet spot. Which is why I have one coming. Fully loaded with the performance pack.
Epic indeed… Thanks Joe, I’ve had 3 mlites over the last 6 years all off TRL and all inspired purchases through watching your videos over the years… I ordered an M240i Xdrive in Brooklyn Grey two weeks ago and this review has reassured me that I absolutely made the right choice. 🙌🙌🙌
@@DC5dotty I got an NHS discount which was too good to turn down. Don’t want to give % on here. I’m sure the dealerships will start discounting early NY. 👍
Joe, you're the real deal on youtube. You got the knowledge and are pleasant to listen to and watch. With so much BS going on, you're quite an exception. Lovely car, the M240i!
Has to be the Best BMW in many a year. And that is saying something. BMW are smashing it! M4, M3 and on. And yet this is just about perfect in every sense. [And personally the rear is stunning!] Absolute perfection. A classic already. Thank You. Amazing.
Great car but can’t get over that rear end. One thing I love about my M340 is that there isn’t a single angle that looks bad. Surprised BMW didn’t down tune the engine to bring power below the M340 and 440. Good on them for that.
Can’t say I’m a fan of the 340i look from any angle. Just my opinion. It’s on the boring & conservative side but beauty is in the eye on the beholder 👌🏻
I have a M340i as well and my only gripe about the design is it doesn’t have great road presence. Like there’s nothing that blows you away. I’m current doing some mods that we’ll help do that do. This M240i will turn heads as is.
@@dewaynesummers8105 Spot on here. Standard (excepting the tailpipes) there's no real differentiator to, say a 330i. I have a Sunset Orange Metallic 340 but had the performance kit fitted and it gives it a totally different dimension. Just love it as both my daily driver that can be a beast when it needs to.
Been waiting for this one, and what a great review! Good video, fantastic camera angles, and thorough descriptions of interior, exterior and driving impressions. Thank you Joe 🙏
@@mstegs5477 just watched it, none the less less than 4.5 seconds to 100kph still a very impressive bit of kit. Id like to see it in the flesh to make my final judgement

Hey Joe, appreciate the video! I picked up my 2022 about 45 days ago, and absolutely love it. Mine is the full blackout with black rims, and I've been approached regularly by people wanting to get a closer look. It's my first BMW, and I'm thoroughly satisfied with my purchase!
Joe, I just want to thank you for this very detailed review. I picked up this model last week in Brooklyn grey and absolutely love everything about it. Still breaking it in right now but can't wait to use more of that power soon. Couldn't be happier with my first BMW.
I had a M240i auto with adaptive suspension. Loved that car, almost the same size as the E46 M3. Just specced M240i xdrive, purple, adaptive, head up £50,940. No delivery time frame quoted any where. Pleased to see BMW have decided to fit proper tyres this time. “Now if I sell a kidney, trade in the 440i coupe can I afford one?” Joe you have a lot to answer for😉 I purchased the M240i and 440i coupe after your great videos, please keep them coming.
Man, just what I needed, You’ve just reconfirmed all my thoughts and hopes about this piece of art! I’m 1000% sure now this will be my next and last petrol car before changing to this electric thingies… 👌🏽
One of the best reviews of the M240i I've seen until now. Ordered mine last week and I'm so excited to get it. P.S.: my former car is an M2, but as a daily, it's just too harsh for me now after 3 years.
Most people making comments about the back end of the car haven’t seen anything but pics and videos, in real life it’s much better. The M240 is a sexy, fun and fast car.
What a car, very happy to see that new M240i picks up the torch from the previous small M lites and moves the game on. It’s important that BMW has a small performance coupe that isn’t an M car. Looks like xdrive combined with b58 is quite a leveller on the road when comparing it to the full fat M cars. Great video 🔥
Amazing review Joe! Like all your reviews, I always get exciting watching your amazing and comprehensive reviews. Your definitely setting a whole new level of car reviews. Thanks mate!
Sir, Love the Channel, and you convinced me that this would be my Retired old Dude Car, lol. Built a Brooklyn Grey, Red interior, M240i Performance Pack, loaded. Thanks and keep Reviewing…
This new 240i looks great! Has a lot to live up to! Will be good to see one in the flesh! Great they had you out there for the press release! Video was brill! Next gen M2 will be a fire breather!
Joe, watched your vids since the start mate. The quality, editing, gains on the videos since then have been mega, just keep getting better and better. Another great vid, keep it up.
So glad this is the first full drive video of the M240i I’ve seen Joe. Really enjoyed it, I have the previous gen M240i so hope to get one of these when it’s a more affordable used proposition. Will be holding off electric as long as possible.
Great video, Joe, as always. That's a proper BMW coupe, a real drivers car. The engine / exhaust sound is so good and performance is epic. The drivetrain versatility is welcome too. Two things that could set the sales back a bit might be the price and the exterior design. This new 2 series might be another step closer to Cayman territory, IMO.
I'm so excited for this. I have a 2014 M235i and this has pry moved the needle enough to upgrade. Mine is sooo usable reliable fast and just a fantastic car even at 90k miles.
Great review Joe. Thank you Mr Achilles, I snapped mine this week 🤕 and my M240i is due end of January. You’ve given me a boost to get fit to be able to drive it properly.
Brilliant vid, Joe. I love your knowledge and sheer enthusiasm for the BMW brand. I’m really pleased that the car is so good because I’ve more or less made up my mind to buy one as a replacement for the Mk7.5 Golf R I had which I sold last summer 👌🏼
I'm so excited to see this review Joe. Been waiting an age to see a review. Was thinking of being sensible and go electric next. But this has changed by mind. That sound of the 6 cylinder! Have to have one last hurrah with another m240i I reckon now! Great work, and very jealous!
Ahhhh. BMW finally got it right. Love this car. Great video, joe I can feel your excitement about this car and I like your homage to the Original M-lights circa.
Your reviews are fantastic Joe. Just watched your newer 220i review and great to see the references to this vid. Interesting your comment about the M240i reminding you of the 3.0l CSL as the first time I saw this car it reminded me of the 635CSi (minus the shark front end of course). I love that … one of my all time favourites. I plan to get an M240i one day - the main reason apart from the fact they look good, is that beautiful B58 and 8 speed gearbox. I believe in time, this will be seen as BMW’s best ever engine that they have produced. It’s over engineered and left in standard form will be ultra reliable. I have an X4 M40i which suits my work, especially the gravel roads. I love the sound of this machine and can only imagine what it’d be like to have this package in lower slung, lighter frame than an X4. An M2 would be too much of a stretch for me and really wouldn’t be able to justify the extra $$ when the M240i has that magical mixture of looks, performance, tech and comfort all rolled into one. Thanks for the awesome review. Your reviews are simply the best BMW reviews on TH-cam.
Thanks for (another) awesome video Joe. Definitely my go-to on TH-cam and Instagram 🙏😃 The F40 135i I have will be disappearing next year for one of these (not that colour)... hopefully some deals to be had on them
Thank you Joe ,for this first drive video 👌i'm waiting and looking for tests and videos of this car for weeks .Tomorrow i'll go to my dealer and order one 😍best regards ✌️
Hey Joe. Thanks for this clip. I had the old m240i xdrive. Now having z4m40i. How different do you think this new m240i will be comparing to z4m? I lover this small package and usability. Thanks for coming back
Fantastic video Joe, really love this new M240i. How did it feel in terms of it’s weight now they’re around 1700kg, could you feel the weight around the corners?
Another blinding video Joe, keep up the good work. I currently have a 330i hire car whilst my 67 plate golf is being repaired and have the BMW bug big time now. May be calling up TRL deals for a quote on one of these in part ex. Keep em coming Joe, having followed you in the early days of the blue 135i you’ve come so far. Congrats on your success mate 👌🏼😎
Hi Joe, really thinking about one of these I actually like the styling and love the straight 6 sound. One question. Is this a daily liveable car, as in could it be driven happily on a commute to and from work and also at the weekend for some fun? Or is it just a bit to hard for the daily drive and more for a fun blast? I’ve got an itchy trigger finger and really thinking about pulling it!
Hi Joe. So my local dealer does have an M240i xdrive arriving in May. He says the new M2 will only arrive 2023 which is way too far ahead. They do have a brand spanking new LBB M2C though, which is the last of its kind avail. Both are about the same price. Should I take the M2C or the M240i? What would you rather buy.
What an amazing looking autumn day in [Germany]! In context of the environment, the car looks great! Nice to see another step in BMW's evolution, and as you say it captures elements of their classics too... nice! Now I'm looking forward to autumn again in New Zealand 🇳🇿
@@marcelb9708 oh... true! 🤣 The M240i looks great against the GERMAN backdrop! And it is also autumn in the UK of course... my favourite time if the year.
@@BryceBrown1 Thanks very much Yes, it is driven in Germany, I live in Bavaria and I think we have pretty good roads here 😁. Ordered in M Brooklyn gray metallic 🥰. The M Sport E61 is also a very nice car 👍. Greetings to New Zealand
I like the fact that BMW have put the bonnet bulge and flared rear arches on the normal 2 series. It makes the M240i a much more attractive proposition for a daily and with all the restrictions we petrolheads are likely to face over the next few years it might even make more sense than a full M car unless you spend a lot of time on track.
So excited to share this video with you all, this is a proper bit of kit and highly recommended (if you can get past some of the questionable styling). Cheers everyone ❤️
This is making me very excited for the incoming M2, keeping my options very much open! 😍

I find the 340 a tad dull to look at, but it is the perfect Q car. And I'd rather have a Q car than one that shouts about itself.
The fact that it has an M-diff in the rear makes this 'M-lite' a real game changer, especially with the Xdrive.
Will the offer the rear diff on the 230i?
I think yes I read somewhere that 230i will come with rear wheel drive

Oh yeah u r the 2m3forme from bimmerpost. Now I recall u lol
Hi Joe, really thinking about one of these I actually like the styling and love the straight 6 sound. One question. Is this a daily liveable car, as in could it be driven happily on a commute to and from work and also at the weekend for some fun? Or is it just a bit to hard for the daily drive and more for a fun blast? I’ve got an itchy trigger finger and really thinking about pulling it!
Hi Joe. So my local dealer does have an M240i xdrive arriving in May. He says the new M2 will only arrive 2023 which is way too far ahead. They do have a brand spanking new LBB M2C though, which is the last of its kind avail. Both are about the same price. Should I take the M2C or the M240i? What would you rather buy.
People like to give BMW crap about their design but this actually looks good. My only fear would be about long term reliability.
What an amazing looking autumn day in [Germany]! In context of the environment, the car looks great! Nice to see another step in BMW's evolution, and as you say it captures elements of their classics too... nice! Now I'm looking forward to autumn again in New Zealand 🇳🇿
It is in germany 😉
@@marcelb9708 oh... true! 🤣 The M240i looks great against the GERMAN backdrop! And it is also autumn in the UK of course... my favourite time if the year.
@@BryceBrown1 ☺️ I love the new BMW. I order the 220i for 3 weeks ago 😉.
@@marcelb9708 very nice! What colours? Enjoy it, in Germany? On fantastic roads? Mine is an M Sport E61, old but I love it!
@@BryceBrown1 Thanks very much
Yes, it is driven in Germany, I live in Bavaria and I think we have pretty good roads here 😁.
Ordered in M Brooklyn gray metallic 🥰.
The M Sport E61 is also a very nice car 👍.
Greetings to New Zealand
Joe you smashed it with this car review
I like the fact that BMW have put the bonnet bulge and flared rear arches on the normal 2 series. It makes the M240i a much more attractive proposition for a daily and with all the restrictions we petrolheads are likely to face over the next few years it might even make more sense than a full M car unless you spend a lot of time on track.
Thanks for the detailed impressions. Sounds like quite an accomplished car. Worth upgrading from an M235i?
