Love these "things i dont like" vids on the 2 series... people find the tiniest things because theyre just so good. I bought a m235i a few weeks ago and everytime a mate said "hows the new car?", i say "i love it". He must have got bored with that response and eventually said "what dont you like about it?"... i was stumped, took a min, then said "the sun visors are small and cheap feeling, and the window controls are on the other side from my e46." You know you found gold when thats the worst of the complaints!
Having had mine for 4.5 years here are my opinions: 1. Exhaust is a bit puny, but it adds to the Q-Car qualities of it. 2. Apple CarPlay was an option when I bought mine new in 2016, but it was £230 so I didn't bother with it, even though I got most other options and I am fully plugged into the Apple ecosystem. 3. No idea on the B Pillars, maybe your seat is too far back?? 4. Steering never moves. 5. I'm on stock 18s with adaptive suspension and the ride is perfect, even nicer than the ride in our E91. And for anyone buying one, ditch the MPSS tyres and get PS4, much better. The 19s have ruined your ride.
Agreed, i now own one of these cars, a 2019 model. No Apple Car play, but couldn't care less about that as i just wanted a perfomance car, and that's what i got. If i wanted to listen to music and play on a computer i would stay home and do that. Yes, Joel has his seat too far back and that's why his B pillar is in the way, but it is also a part of having a coupe car, they all have large B pillars. And defo the issue with ride is the stupid mods to the car. 18 inch non runflat tyres on mine, and the ride is better than any other BMW i've owned including the E46 M3 i had back in the mid 2000s. People i think are also not aware of the risks they are taking with mods, "upgraded" exhausts and new bumpers that are not standard/factory fitted at point of initial reg are required by law to be declared for insurance and if the ride or performance is changed then the V5 should be updated to reflect things that need added to that. If you don't and get rumbled you are going get done for no road tax, no MOT and no insurance as well.
Great vid! Mines a 2017 Pre-LCI that came from factory with carplay. Strangely with adaptive I find comfort too soft and spongey and sport too firm. Although I am on factory wheels and tyres.
Don't be annoyed about the exhaust. It's a small car and they are big enough. The noise from Lukes at Hampshire photo is overkill. Also the rear bumper is what it is as I'm sure you know its not an 'M' car.... Its an M sport.
What’s your wheel and tire size setup? And is it staggered? I have the xdrive version but have been looking into some larger wheels just not sure what’ll fit
Great video as per usual, still loving my M240i so if these are your personal top 5 things you ‘hate’ then the car is bloody amazing and I would also agree with that statement. My gripe is definately the apple carplay thing you mentioned. Keep up the good content nonetheless!!!!
I actually prefer a manual reach/rake adjustment in the wheel, but I suppose if it's a shared car then having memory/electric adjustment would be useful. Great vid 👍
my 17 m240i, has the apple car play compatibility. i believe it depends on how the car was spec.. but i do know there are aftermarket upgrade you can do to the idrive to get it!
I had a 67 plate per-LCI M240i and my car was spec’d with Apple CarPlay - it WAS an option that could be added to the car’s specifications. Enjoy the M240i, great car!
Hey Joe,its a nice car you there,yeah sure there will always be minor things we don't like about our cars,but I'd like to share this with you,your an individual in your own right,unique to everyone else,now make your an extended version of you,you got the basics dead right by starting with a good fast car as a base,a bit of imagination and you will have something to be proud of,it took time to get to your twentys, so take your time and choose Wisley,im fast approaching 60 and I still got the bug mate,time is the master mate.....
Hi Joel.Electronic steering adjustment would probably annoy you more if it went wrong.At least with the manual adjustment you wo'nt have that worry m8.
Dude you go from 40 series tires to 35 series tires will mean harder, more feel of the road. Lowering 25 to 30 mm will have a huge impact to ride quality. The 240i RWD in manual already lowers 10mm. Again you’re doing all this in order to Feel the road more. Apple Car play is in add on option to the Premium Enhanced Package which it appears you have. The bigger knob and full size screen confirms the necessary package. Not sure if you can go back to dealer and have service dept add it on or it has to come from factory. There was a factory option to add $1500 Performance Exhaust with bigger and longer tips.
Most annoying thing about this car is that I had to remortgage to get it,second most annoying thing is trying to have a decent argument about remortgaging with the missus after she takes off her seatbelt (ding ding ding)dont want to invalidate or risk a years warranty with using Carly,most annoying thing is that the exhaust can't drown out the sound of the missus still moaning 2 days later ,I can live with the 23mpg and everything else is brilliant 😜
But the electrically operated steering wheel is a downside to many other cars, since it's SO much slower to operate. Wouldn't you just want the ease of going plop bing bang, and you're done!
Honestly not really. I feel like there's more precision on electronic, and having saved memory profiles with steering wheel adjustment is a cool feature. Reliability probably goes to manual though.
Cars looking a little plain on the exterior mate. Just a suggestion but maybe some dark red small body piece accents to match in with the interior. Was thinking car would look good with some dark red wheel bolts and maybe wrap the bars behind the grille if it has them. Catch u on the next 1.
Never understood why some people spin their heads sideways to see whats at side of vehicle when changing lanes and likes of, just use the mirrors thats what they are there for, if your having to spin your head round then you clearly haven’t got your mirrors set up properly and eventually your going to cause a accident because of taking eyes off road for too long almost breaking your neck and be like a owl
@@itsjoel and why do you have to twist your neck when you can just move your eyes to look in mirrors, if you cant see whats at side of you by just looking in your mirrors then they need altering
@@ryanlongley5052 I don’t think you understand what a blind spot is? Every car has a certain blind spot that will not be visible in your mirror, hence turning and physically looking in certain situations
@@itsjoel I’ve been driving on motorway for nearly 30 years and never once bent my neck to see whats in the next lane is all im saying, each to their own mate we all got our own driving styles haven’t we 👍
Best move I did was change from the standard run flats on my e91 and got some Michelin super sports, good all rounder 👍🏼 ride quality has enormously improved!
With any coding u must remember not to use the ERASE ALL obd feature if u get an EML come up after you've coded or some or all the codings will also disappear and you'll have to redo them.
Where there is light, there is always shadow. What really p###ses me off with my Z4? When it rains, you CANNOT open the window even a bit. Water will drop on your arm and the door panel all the time. Or try to use the wipers on a really wet windshield when your door or window is still open. Splash!! Hey, I already took a shower before! :-D
@@macstone9719 I just don't understand the reasoning? Opening windows just introduces wind noise and so much more. The only time I'd want open windows, is by the beach in summer driving slowly. The whole driving with open windows is weird to me!
@@TheDerpyGrandma The water is dripping INTO the car even if the window is just opened a tiny bit to breath fresh air. Its a serious design flaw of this car. In Germany we use to drive like that alle the time, sorry.
Bought my (2015) 235 for just over £15k with 31,000miles on it. Similar spec 240s were going for around 20-25k...so prices definitely favour the 235i. As for the b58 engine..yes it's newer and had slightly more power than the n55 but I think that's the only big difference
Nice video but off topic let me give an advice.. before you support Ukraine,learn the history on it and educate yourself, Ukraine is run by fascists since 2014 taking control of all government institutions and the military, Neo nazis in Ukraine have been well operating for quite a long time , they have sided with Nazi Germany in 1942 and committed mass murders of many ethnic groups, in fact they did the same against the east part of Ukraine for the last eight years since 2014 , all their national heroes are fascists and neo nazis , trust me on that I’m from there. Here in the west you guys are naïve and sleeping field full of propaganda and miss information. The west is supporting a fascist regime without even realizing it.
Great video! The only annoying thing im finding with mine is some kinda of whine in 1st and 2nd gear when building the revs. (2k rpm+) Also when reversing. Cant be heard unless driving in silence really but... bmw have told me is a "characteristic" be interesting to find out if you also have this? Or anyone else in these comments for that matter? And no its not the mrs.. 😂

@@itsjoel sounds good man! Glad you’re enjoying the car too!
You should be able to purchase Carplay with BMW connect... at least in Australia the F22 LCI comes "Carplay ready", just need to buy it
here in belgium too. you can also try it for 1euro for a month.
Do you still question if you should have got a manual e92 m3? I think that would be one of a few cars I'd move from the zed for.
I actually prefer a manual reach/rake adjustment in the wheel, but I suppose if it's a shared car then having memory/electric adjustment would be useful. Great vid 👍

Buddy your in the smallest coupe bmw offers besides the z4 and complaining about visibility?
u can actually have carplay on m240i. u can go to a bmw dealership and ask them to retrofit it.
No you can't.
