ABSOLUTELY! Here in the US the m240 xDrive MSRP is $48,720 pretty well equipped. Which is only about 3k more than the new mk8 golf R. Problem is dealers are marking them up. I've got the mk7 Golf R from 2015 and as soon as I can get an m240 i for MSRP then how could you say no. It's faster to 60 and in the quarter mile then an M2 competition. No it doesn't look as cool or aggressive but I think it looks fantastic. It's by far the greatest car under $50,000 in the US today. Well I mean if you're looking for insane power and performance, with beautifully refined German technology and materials, as well as being incredibly comfortable and smooth. If you like all those things then this is the car.. especially if you're a single guy.
I hate when I hear people talking about price tag on an m240i.... lol its a german twin scroll turbo'd inline 6 coupe that is all wheel drive and it is under 60k usd for a pretty much fully loaded one with all boxes ticked. a similarly featured porsche will cost you 130k usd or so. the m240i is an absolute bargain.
Especially when you look at the benchmark price of cars these days. It’s gone up drastically the last 10 years You can find a low speced 2022 m240i here in the states for $42-43k before taxes
I just stumbled onto your channel while shopping for an M240. You are freaking hysterical! You got a subscriber from me. I’ll definitely be back! I’ve never laughed so much during a car video but at the same time enjoyed the car content as well. Both informative and entertaining!
It's an amazing car, looks even better in person, acceleration is way more than I need. I don't think I even use half of its potential 99.9% of the time. Good enough for me as a daily
I ordered the same spec M240i with Brooklyn Grey and and gloss black exterior and the same Red leather seats plus the Pro pack with the wider tyres wheels and oil cooler. It’s coming on Michelin tyres with extra body kit to allow for the 245 front tyres. Due July 2022.
Can I just say, your reviews are simply the best! I love your humour and honesty. Thanks Matt, definitely setting a new standard for Australian Car Reviews
Great great review Matt. Still the funniest car reviewer on youtube. 4.6s to 100? Damn i used to get that in my old 2014 m235i. Ive seen the new m240i do a lot faster in other videos though. Shame the back seats are so small now. I could fit my 6 foot friends in the back of my old m235i no worries. Howd they mess that up at BMW?
You said you usually get fully specced cars but you don't get the M seats and no performance pack (bigger brakes and Michelin tyres). It's so strange how different countries get offered different spec cars
@@MrTroytroy No roll out, just launch control and most get in the range of 3.7 - 3.8 (including myself). BMW is notorious for fudging their numbers to stay within a segment. Beat last years M2 / new AMG CLA 45 S on carwow 0-60 and 1/4 mile. It is faster than it's competitors out at the moment. Some vids up on their channel. Definitely faster than my 2020 M2 Comp. Carwow specs....2022 RS3 0-60 (3.63) / 2022 M240i 0-60 (3.82) they are neck and neck even at the 1/4 mile. Once the M2 comes out it's game over for any other competitor being tuned up from this car especially if they offer it in xDrive.👍
@@MrTroytroy check out the carwow channel and search M240i, there’s a standalone review with 0-60 etc and drag races. Sometimes links get blocked in these comments.
God i hate bmw now. They use to be amazing up until the 2000’s. Now you have FAKE LEATHER AND FAKE EXHAUST. Imagine spending $100,000+ and only getting fake leather. Also the centre spedo looks awful, Audi did it much nicer way back in 2012…..
M240i, would you buy one?
If I had the money to replace after a few years, yes
No too expensive, and not too much different from a KIA Cerrato GT.

The BMW REAR WHEEL
DRIVE COUPE 230i minimally optioned with convenience options is less than $40,000. NOW THATS A BARGAIN!
It’s a 10k difference for a b58 sounds like a no brainer to me lol

Glad to see they still use the inline six they sound awesome under hard acceleration

Nice spec buddy, I’m thinking about making a similar order but with tan leathers.
@@GivThmHal I agree the Tan looks great but it only comes with the sports seat in OZ, so I selected red leather and comfortable seat. Cheers Mark T
I have the exact same one. A beast
The best review !! Ever
I have a 17, trouble free, crazy fast. Best car I've ever owned.
Can I just say, your reviews are simply the best! I love your humour and honesty. Thanks Matt, definitely setting a new standard for Australian Car Reviews
My ONLY issue would be the lack of round exhausts... Not a fan of the cut outs. Dual pipes would look insane
Love the review fellas! keep up the great content
Next time give Jacob his own mike… the two of you would be a good presenting duo!

I’ve seen many others do 3.7s 3.8s this guy is the only one that is that slow
Thanks for the informative video I would like to know your opinion about getting m240 or m440 if I don’t care about rear seats
You said you usually get fully specced cars but you don't get the M seats and no performance pack (bigger brakes and Michelin tyres).
It's so strange how different countries get offered different spec cars
no wireless charger on the M240i available. only on the M2
Really BMW, a mechanically opening grille? Another part to replace when it breaks?
Is it just me or does the ass end look like a kia stinger? Front looks like alfa quadrifollio
Mate review the lexus lx
Interesting 0-100 time. BMW claim 0-100 in 4.3 and they’re notorious for overstating and I’ve also seen it go much quicker in other videos.
Who else jumps str8 to the 0-100kmh section ;-)

I'd rather the A45s for 13k more.
Wow
If only there was a means or way, like a door or something, to remove the passenger for the 0-100 time? 4.6secs a little lower than a 2016 RS3
Other channels have timed it at under 4 seconds
@@stevehs4287 probably using roll out and 0-60mph. The average is 4.3. Which is absolutely all good. But not faster than it’s competitors

Honestly, an ugly design.
A BMW influenced by Japanese + Korean design.
