I ordered a 2019 M240i in December 2018 and will be picking it up tomorrow. Estoril Blue with Black leather and all the boxes ticked. Loved the car when I test drove it with my wife and she loved it too. We also compared to an M2, and didn't like the jounce in the suspension on rough roads; also preferred to get xDrive so that's what we went with. Smoother suspension, all wheel drive, brilliant engine, etc. We are very excited to pick it up tomorrow in Monterey, California. Thanks to reviewers like you who helped us get pointed in this direction.

Jump ahead, got a 2018 M240i XDrive with 4k miles for under $40k. Damn near every option. AMAZING machine. Was planning on the next gen Subaru STi, but I got this cheaper and it is literally twice the car. 0-60 in 4.2 and you feel every bit of it. The heated steering wheel is actually grand. M exhaust and all. Snap, crackle, and pop. Hands down an incredible deal.

I've had the M240i for a couple of weeks now and absolutely love it. About $10,000 less then the M2 in the ZF8 configuration vice the M2 DCT. Was on a couple of M2 waiting lists for a number of months with no allocations to be found. Test drove the M240i and was sold. Couldn't give a shit that it's not a "real" M car, this car is a blast to drive and a great daily driver as well. Bite me haters.

Initially I was on a waiting list for an M2 but a changed my mind but no regrets. Your driving reviews helped me allot to choose this model and everything you did say about it proved to be true. Thanks and keep doing it. Best

i bought the m235 about 9 months ago, i love it! Had lots of different bmw's from the early 90's and the engine is probably the best engine i have ever had in any bmw. It has been put together so well that you dont even realise that there is a turbo, there is no turbo lag whatsoever. The m235 engine was also tuned very very well. Its slower only by a margin then the m2 but from 160kph it starts to leave the m2 all the way to the governor at 250. Really a fantastic bmw! my ONLY ONLY wish was to get it in the nicer leather option that the m4's and the other more expensive cars come with. I went to see the m240 now and the difference is mariginal, all you get is extra sat nav and some stitching on the seats. The engine performance is pretty much the same. Besides, with a bmw performance chip, the m235 goes to 382bhp which is faster then the m2... Anyways, i love my car :)

Have seen both your 230i and now this POV review of the M240i. I too have driven both here in the U.S. with the ZF 8 speed AT. When I configured them similarly...M-Sport, Premium & Track Package (for the 230) price difference is ~ $4,000. I like the lighter, more nimble driving feel of the 230i, its lower price to purchase and insure. But will admit, the strong and smooth acceleration of the M240 is addictive. Logic tells me 230i; emotion sometimes says M240i. Very difficult decision...appreciate your reviews. Am always thankful for U.S. vehicle pricing relative to Europe!

I'll go with the M240i purely because I won't be using it on a race track and for everyday driving it beats the M2. On the roads of Great Britain you'll be battered and bruised driving a car with stiff suspension so just on that it's a no brainer - the M240i.

I just put my deposit down on an M240i mostly for the price. In Canada the M2 is about 15,000 dollars more and I'd only get to use the difference in performance about two or three times a year. Mine is an x-drive in grey and it will take about three months to get here. I'm currently driving a big ford pickup ( because of work ) so this should be a sweet sweet change. Good God I can hardly wait.

The dilemma is that while one would normally want the M2 over the M240i, the M2 still uses the N55 engine which will be obsolete in the near future. The M240i doesn't have the body or handling of the M2, but that B58 is such a beast that it makes you feel like you didn't get the full package if you got the M2. So for anyone in the market, pick the M240i for the B58 engine & pick the M2 if you want the track handling & aggressive styling. BMW already said there is no engine change for the base M2 in LCI so for. those that can't get over not having an advanced tuned version of the B58, wait for the next Gen.

Drove this car and 230i for test the same day. Both are fantastic. The m240i seems actually too powerful, if that makes sense. Never drove the M2 but assume it’s insanely good. I actually preferred the 230i when considering overall package, price, performance etc. in sport mode the acceleration in the 4 cyl is just fantastic, plenty of power. 2 series is really great, beautiful cars.

I think you cannot go wrong with any 2 series, even the base model is very sporty and performs far beyond what you would expect from a smaller 4 cyl engine when in sport mode. The sport seat package should be considered mandatory and makes a very big difference, they are far more comfortable and cooler lookin*than the regular seats. BMW for the win, again!

I just sold my M2 and bought an M240i, my friends raised an eyebrow and didn't understand why But after I explained to them that in daily driving in the city the M2 is simply not built for it - you hear every noise and the vehicle is more bouncy - I certainly was not comfortable with it since I live and work in the city. The advantage of the m2 is in turns or on the track because the vehicle is more stable I am much happier with the M240i but for some people who want to take the car to the track the M2 will suit them better.

They were both great cars, and pretty fast, but the M240i is a whole new level of enjoyment with the sweet howl of the 6 cylinder engine and RWD. But it is also a very comfortable cruiser in comfort mode, with the excellent Harmon Kardon optional audio. I'm taking it to a track day in February to test it out.

Only on a straight road, which requires no skill. On a twisty undulating road, your car could have 600bhp and it still wouldn't see which way the M2 went. I know this 100%, I owned an M140i for 4 years, running 455bhp/634nm, and I now have a standard OG M2. Remap the M2 and put a larger intercooler on, and it will be over 400bhp anyway.

Great car, but 'better' depends on what criteria you are judging it by. It might be the better car for a daily driver. The M2 looks better, sounds better, is faster, much better steering feedback, better cornering ability, has a better interior, and will hold it's value higher when used because it's a proper M car and not just a 'pretend M'.

Due to that I m living in the Rhein Main area near Frankfurt the daily jam traffic allows in majority only a speed level around 75 km/h in average. But outside of rush hour I m throughout able to speed up to 260 km/h .... which is going very quick due to the amazing torque of this engine, means overall its also an amazing low level of fuel consumption for such a powerful car ... If I m going only in normal regular speed mode I achieved also around 8,0 l/kilo ! This is not to compete by any other car in this power class. ...and for the time being (currently I have passed 113.000 km) I had no single one issue with this engine. I keep strictly all the maintanance rules ! The only point where I m deviating of the BMW recommendations ... I change engine oil and filter every 15.000 km ... and not awaiting the regular 30.000 distance.

With the performance and the 8 speed automatic gearbox i would go for a M140i, because of 5 doors and the greater usability for all day drive. To be serious the M140i/M240i, with xdrive or not, is the better car, if you don't go to racetracks or something like that. For public roads the M2 is not that much faster and on the autobahn i thing there is no difference between the M2 and M140i/M240i. The M2 is overall the faster car, bacause of more power, the better chassis, the faster gearbox, but it is in every point only a tick of a second and in germany there is a difference in price of 10 - 11 k€ but you get way more % on the price of a M140/240 than you will get on a M2.

Depends what you think is better? The m240i is not an m car. The m2 is on another level. Not so much in outright pace, they’re similar. But everything else. Exhaust, gearbox, differential, feel - everything is on another level in the m2.

Yeah, more better, because have more torque (M2 have 465Nm, M240i have 500 Nm) and weight is better for M240i than M2. And M2 have 30 HP more than M240i. Good job, BMW! 👍👍👍

How much better/worse would you say this new engine is compared to the 235i (F22) engine? Is it worth me buying the 240i over the cheaper 235i?

@AutoTopnl 7 жыл бұрын

+scamaker The B58 engine in the 240i is a real gem.. it's smoother, more powerful and just feels a lot more beefy. But I'd drive them both to see if you think it's worth the price difference!

@2Spot8 7 жыл бұрын

+AutoTopNL, agree B58 is fantastic. +scamaker I found N55 from M235 to be more peakier and seemed to want to rev right to the limiter to get its max performance. The B58 didn't seem to need it and felt meatier and powerful earlier in the rev range, even though it will happily rev out to 7K. I haven't personally checked but have read B58 also more economical, maybe because it's greater torque allows more economical driving. I believe B58 turbo is also positioned closer to intake than in N55, improving its responsiveness. I was looking also at Audi and Merc, but was sold after driving the M240 after seeing this review in Jan 2017. Unfortunately, the colour and options I chose meant I had to wait 4mths for delivery, but car should be here in 2wks! Can't wait :)

One thing I didn't expect was being told the next gen M240 only gets 4 cylinders. Only the M2 will continue with 6cyls. If that's true, this being the last of the M240's with 6cyls is even more desirable now :)

It is a mode you use more time than you can expect... city driving and all. I only switch to comfort/sport mode when I wanna overtake fast, the lovely part is that as soon as you switch the modes, you feel the instant power. Sport mode is better when you have to go out from the city or play around for fun.
