Loved this …. Bought the car 6 weeks to with the updated dash. Never had a car without a gear stick before! I had an old M240I convertible and love the B58 engine. The new one is not perfect but omg easy to use as a point and shoot. The suspension is so much more sorted now. The pick up in sport when you extend it to over 90 is eye opening and like a C63 AMG in a smaller and cheaper package. I have been really impressed and the biggest tell tail sign is I look back at it as I walk away …. Yes, sad I know, but mine is black …. Which I think looks awesome on this car.

I enjoyed the vid! 👍🏼 There are lots out there (myself included) who want a car that can be driven in a spirited way but that will handle being a GT too. For me an M2 would be a. Too expensive and; b. A bit too extreme - and I’m not thrilled at the thought of losing the back end on a corner, like some are. You’ll gather from this that I’m about to order one! 😉

Thanks for the informative video I would like to know your opinion about getting m240 or 440 if I don’t care about rear seats

Coming out of a 981 Cayman S to this. I live in a part of the US with long winters and high precipitation. This will be the ideal replacement. Also considered the new RS3 however it's 10K more with only slightly better performance. Ordering one with the pro pack in Brooklyn grey next week. Might add some carbon fiber bits at time of order. Front splitter and rear spoiler to break up that rear end. I will admit that seeing it in the metal makes all the difference. Vids and pics don't do it justice.

What kind of Tim foolery is this? Your outro had me flashing back to FBDO 🤓 Like the car a lot! Glad to hear you were concentrating during the factory tour 😀

Good nonsense. This car is appealing to me, except I don't like aspects of the exterior design language (as an architect type might say). Boxy is good, but it has triangular shapes on the front bumper/splitter thingy. I bet it's a weapon though!

Great review! How good the M240 is going to handle is greatly affected by the addition of the pro pack, which gives you wider front tyres and Michelin PS4S, instead of Pirelli P-Zero.

Hilariously, there has now been a face lift of this car! Revised dash with massive touch screens, plus a load of the option pack muddled up 🙄 RWD version is also on the horizon, which interests me 😀

Ham!! Watched all the way to the end

Can anyone comment on what burbles sound like on the new m240? I’m not a loud pops and bangs kind of guy but love a good burble on the downshifts. I can hear the thump on the upshift, however not much on the downs. Thoughts?

We all were Tim.

If I wasn’t fat bald skint tight and married with kids and drove 30k every year……………..that would be the perfect car. Ah well, there’s always the next life, I’ll probably come back as a slug knowing my luck.

I love mine. My only complaint really is the voice dictation when getting it to message someone. It’s like going back 10 years.

Like your style you daft ham!!

Lovely

Just ordered a blue one 🤓 5 months to wait now. I’ll miss my i30n, but I’m getting old (er) and fancy this as a GT type of coupe 😀

Picked up my 240i last week. On the whole yes, not as tail happy as my old 240i, but I'm getting older so that's probably a good thing. Don't like the lane change system at all! First time diving home the steering wheel was all but pulled out of my hands, making it feel like the back end was breaking away. Thought it was a skid and correcting it in the normal way made it worse, nearly binned a car with less than fifty miles on the clock. A gentle drive back to the dealers and the sales guy showed me how to switch it off. Trouble is it returns to a default setting every time it's switched off. So it's back into the settings at the start of each journey. BMW trying to be too clever? Sat-Nav has improved slightly, but still not great, telling you to take the next turn when it's two turns away; and roundabouts are a nightmare. The stick on screen Tom Tom in my wife's Picanto is far superior. Not sure of the speedo; seems to be over reading. Indicating seventy and most vehicles are passing by. Have to get it checked. Head-up display is good. Getting lots of admiring comments, and many guys doing the side wards glace as they walk by, haven't had that since my Scirocco R twelve years ago. Not let it 'rip' yet, but the power is easily felt under the right foot.

Your a Ham…. As requested! Enjoy your style Mate - fun but accurate in evaluation! Keep it up!

Hey ham I bet not being slightly hungover made it more enjoyable to drive this time around 🤣

Great ❤️‍🔥🎬❤️‍🔥

Wanting to know what the boot space is like on a £50k car that you'll want to use as a daily car doesn't make us 'fetishists' surely? Its not all about just flooring it

Bang on about the old cars, yeah my M140i is a bit lairy, but it's so much more fun then this thing. The lack of a particulate filter also makes it sound much more rowdy too. I think I'll just pay to send mine off to Birds for their handling pack then even considering the new 2 series. The lack of the hatchback too means I'm not really interested either, definitely not interested in a FWD based hatchback with a BMW badge.

That thing is going to sell like hot cakes.

it's not nice to give the middle finger to the nice sat nav lady 🤣

No mention of the tyre & wheel size, did you test a car with 225 front tyres or 245 Michelin, that true tyre patch makes all the difference in the handling. Please give us more details next time. You Bald Ham.

Oh yes, finally! 😆 Agree!

Tim Rodie und die Villa der Idiotie. bald im Kino.

Handsome presenter

Niche? You regret saying that yet after all the praise for this car.

this presenter is the cheap aliexpress version of Matt Watson.

Wir fordern deutsche Untertitel! Du Schinken!

Now then sausage, you're a ham.

Just one issue…..it’s hideous.

Do people really like the way this car looks? In my opinion it is the ugliest car ever made. Could easily say this is Lada if there wasn't badge of BMW on it. Please don't feel ofended. Every eyes ... I'm sure it drives well.
