    It's better than an M2, until the new M2 arrives - that promises to be one of the best BMW's if recent times

    Absolutely amazing can't wait until there's a comparison from both the M240i &.. the M2 of it all I love the brand new design BMW has done it again. 🤔.. Very unique and quick my type of car ..oh I'm a new subscriber from the United States loving the content 🙂👍🏽

    M2 is going to come with a much larger price tag. The performance you get for the dollar with the M240i is unmatched right now at $49k USD. I'd expect you will be closing in on $80k for the xdrive M2.

      78000$ is the sale price in the middle east, but it does come fully specced with ever option for that.. Still a bit steep though..

    Hi Tim
    I’m considering swapping my 240i like yours for one of these
    Is the body shell widened like the m2 or is that a standard bodyshell ? Like ours ?

    Such a colour, such a beast of a bmw. It’s in a different league. So many new models arrive. We get over excited, then just like mobile phones, a newer model gets designed, launched and hey presto. Our BMWs become dated!! Some of us can’t keep up!

    So it’s better than an f87 m2 because it’s faster in a straight line? We forget about everything else that makes an M car?
    Come on now.

    • @TimWilliamsHD
      @TimWilliamsHD  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Didn’t once say it’s better than a m2, I owned a m2 and it’s a different type of car but not sure what you mean about straight line speed?

  • @SergeiFedorov77
    @SergeiFedorov77 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great job on the video. I.m.o the car looks horrible, especially from the rear. I think they should've flipped the rear light upside down and the car would look much better. But if you like the looks and have the money then congratulations, I think it seems to be a great performing car and it's going to be interesting to see the new M2.

    These wheels are outside xdrive 1% diameter spec. If you use a wide staggered setup like this 275/245 then the from tire must be taller sidewall. Why?

  • @sonneyanthony6926
    @sonneyanthony6926 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @marclynseywilliams

    Any idea on brake disc size? If you could fit an 18 or 17" wheel over.

    • @Blue_Psych0
      @Blue_Psych0 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      it depends on the spec. If you choose the pack with wider tires and the wheelarch-extenders. (in Germany it's called M-technic package) the front discs will be 374x36 mm in front and 345x24mm rear, which means that your minimum wheelsize will be 18". If you go without the upgraded breaks you'll get 348x36mm front / 345x24mm rear and 17" will be fine. Although I must say this car needs at least 19" for looks :)

      @daysofgrace2934 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Paid 25k for 987.2 Box, Black edition - PASM, Sport Chrono, PDK, PSE. You get two seats but frunk and trunk. Daily drive mine with Tesco Momentum 99 and at Brands with V Power Petrol. Only mod is DSC V1 controller. Pay Porsche £750 a year for a bumper to bumper extended warranty - mainly cause the PDK is expensive - which means you have to get servicing done at an OPC but they pick up and drop the car off so I can work from home. Practical, capable & affordable. Trust me compared to M, RS & AMG it’s a level of precision above & beyond. Lotus, Alfa 4C & Alpine are competitors but not as practical...
