That wasn't a proper launch control, it was brake boosting. You can't be in M1 mode, has to be S1. You will see a flag on the dash when it's properly engaged 💪🏼
One of the best reviews of this car so far. Very accurate demonstration. One thing to keep in mind is the M240i is a balance between small luxury coupe and sports car. It is not meant to be a full out sports car... that's the M2

Vehicle Virgins Awesome Review I think the All new BMW M240i looks and sounds absolutely incredible and I can't to see you Review a New M2 when they come out
Great review ! Absolutely love my full spec BG M240i . Going on 3 months and everyday I love it more and find more things I love instead of what I don’t like as time goes on as any other car I’ve owned .
The new M2 will get bug markups and this model will not so,there’s that! The 2022, 230i is surprisingly quick too. Less money for basically the same styling inside and out so check that one too.
Neither. Model3 performance. Blows both out of the water easily in a daily situation and it gets better every couple weeks via software updates. Much quicker too on the streets. Don’t bring “track” into this discussion since 99.9% of the time these cars belong in the streets. How can anyone seriously buy gas cars that are not 1) supercars 2)unique limited production cars that will continue to go up in value I ll rent one on turo when I’m traveling to a new city and gladly return it at the end.
the 8hp is way better than the dct. the new m2 is going to be the flagship bmw car as far as performance is concerned. the m240 x drive you can build the trans, engine and drivetrain for 1000hp and the aftermarket already exists. same DME as the new m3 and its cracked.
The carbon trimm is not factory built, it’s aftermarket. The 0-60 is not 3,6 it’s low 4s (4,1-4,3). The car also has aftermarket wheels, looks like 20s”which are not available from the factory. Factory offers 19” with the pilot sport which are available only with one set of rims 255m back, 245 front and it has a small plastic arches on the fenders, which this car doesn’t have.
Every review including from every major car magazine like road and track and car and driver got under 4 seconds 0-60. The number he is quoting is real world not what the manufacturer says.
It might be lesser i guess. Maybe 2.9 or lesser. I hope so. If the m240i is 360hp, then the m2 might be 410 or more? We all know M2 is lighter than the M5 and also the new m2 got awd/xdrive. It must! below 3 secs.
@@nighthawk0077 hahah. Sorry my bad. Misread the information. 380hp then the m2 must be more awesome. Cant wait for the result tho. Let's just hope tht the design little bit better than the current m240i. Just like the old bmw. Prefer the old design tbh. Simple but beautiful. Cheers!
@@nighthawk0077 by the way, about the acceleration, they changed the gearing which is nice! Shorter gear ratio for the first three gear which will improve 0-60mph / 0 - 100 kmh, and longer gear ratios for better fuel economy which will also increase the topspeed. Guess M2-M4 will be fully gasoline while the m5 is now half hybrid and gas. let's just wait for the next gen M cars. Can't wait to buy it.
I actually think that it is bullsh#t that BMW have stopped offering the manual transmission because people are no longer going for it, I think that they are no longer offering it so then they can say people are not buying manuals anymore !
I love the Melbourne red, I had a 2017 m240i convertible in Melbourne red, the front is not attractive the grill and lights aren't as good , the back is better, the biggest miss is not offering a convertible, the seats are nicer than the previous series, and there is more technically than the last series
Why would anyone ever choose piano black in their interior? Damn, that looks nasty. I will never understand why the manufacturers keep using that crap in their cars. It's no cheaper tham matte plastic, which looks and holds up a million times better. Go for the aluminum mesh option.
Yea manual is dead tech. And why have it, its such a pain in traffic, you gotta deal with clutches etc, not to mention DCT shits all over it, but in a race vs an automatic without DCT ill take the stick but thats it, too much of a pain to drive and its slower than the new transmissions . Dont mean to insult anyone just my opinion.
Manual is about fun not performance. EVs will soon own the automatic part of racing and that will be no fun. Drag racing is going to die but for now track lives on.
yes its a faster 0-60.... but then after 60 the 240 is a dot in my rear view mirror lool. Also comparing old gen to new gen makes no sense... wait until the M2 is out.
Every new car is faster than the last 😂 that’s how they sell them , faster being used loosely a flagship Porsche will go round the Nurburgring 2min or so quicker in the real world off track far less 😂… what any car manufacturers fail on usually is styling and sound, speed is easy we’re past the times of slower cars because they got heavy due to safety
I have always loved and owned bmw’s but this styling just looks awful its the worst looking 2 series ever build 🤢. If they keep up this styling people will look for a different brand .
It is acctually GEORGOUS in the flesh! I’m biased because I own one, but have to say everywhere I go, the car is a head turner and people all are commenting how amazingly good it looks, really.
The new m2 is gonna be insane
I agree, probably will have the s58 and with the Xdrive. I'd love to get one but my 2017 m240 will have to do for now.
Henco en Mexico.
@@todddooley793 It's going to have the S58 with close to 450 horsepower is what I've heard recently!

What is S mode for? Whenever I change it to S mode and I shift, it goes to M1 m2, etc. Is S only for automatic and what does it do?
@@bayareagtr5468 Sport. M is manual and regardless of the driving mode. S ist just the transmission in sport mode.

MHD tune ? need to check that out
3,6 is 2000's supercar levels of acceleration. A base model Gallardo was 3,5 if im not wrong.

Definitely prefer the styling of my 21 M240i xdrive! I agree some odd styling going on recently with the new designer!
Pretty nice and not even a M car. Way better looking than G8x M cars by far.
They are doing the next gen M2 in both auto and manual, because Shmee did a video from Austria where he drove both in camouflage
You don’t need the manual,ZF is the best transmission today.
yup its vg for a slushy
RIMs look good - wonder if they're lighter than the stock options.

Not rip M2. The M2 is going to be a beast.

The M240i has always been an incredible bang for the buck since its first year out in 2017!
form factor is great ! only issue is things break non-stop but yes
Great video keep up the good work bro
Best M240 Review So Far
Well done, Peter. Keep it up.
Great review Parker. Waiting for some night drive in LA.
Got one in Melbourne Red too. Looks even better lowered with meatier tires. Not sure red interior is the best choice with red exterior?
Loving the videos. Keep up the good work Parker.
I want one! What yall would take 240i or RS3 and why?
M240i because it’s not a fancy Jetta. That 5 cyl sound really nice though
240i xdrive is an AWD supra... That engine will have limitless development for decades into the future
Rs3 will be much nicer inside

240i any day
The manual might come.. because of the manual supra
What rims are those? I’ve never seen them before.
LOVE the 2 series M... little pitball's on 4 wheels 😆
You do know there are cliffs where you are driving as you are screeching the tires?
Thank you, Parker! 🙏

please review the 2022 cla45 :D
Is there any videos of anyone getting 3.6 seconds to 60 in this car ? I thought it was closer to 4 seconds
Still weighs more than a Camaro SS 1le and has 70 less HP. And costs a lot more.
And faster
Chevy is literally dog shit when it comes to technology and reliability. German manufacturers are leading in technology and performance.
Camaro does not offer AWD
and cannot see out the side or back
@@Bimmer_Bill lol - about the same prob but 1le should be faster around a track

How fast is he driving?
The legal speed limit, nothing to see here.
he is on the most dangerous road in the US so wtf do you care

the thing is. these aint cheap XD
Cheap? Not sure about that! You can pick up a used M2 Comp for 20k less than these.
Sorry dude...You are not finding a used M2C for $30K unless its been wrecked or has a million miles on it. Base M2's are in the 40's...
