Joe Blow I’ve had my 230i for 6 months and it still makes me so happy to drive it

HI, JOe, glad hear that you like it. Im between 235i or 240i. Could you tell me how much costs you the maintenence of the car. Any problem or issue you found. Thanks. Drive safe.

Just bought myself one. Really an exceptional vehicle.

Great to hear this! Wishing you many happy miles 🏁

Omg feel you so hard. I need to wait Till april though. How do you live knowing whats coming Up😭😭

Congratulations 🤝

How is it

right. I just got the same idea as you.

Andrew Moorhouse you've said it all.

How’s the car been for you?

Carl Price.So did you get it

Did you get it?

@@Josh-li3cy Yes

@@Ch1ll_Biso Yes had it for 18 months

+Theodor Popescu Thanks so much for the comment. This was a special car indeed, enjoy it!

Well 500+ bhp can be achieved by getting a downpipe and HPFP ( HighPressureFuelPump) that of the toyota gr 3.0L and it ripps the streets. With upgrade turbo up to 650 bhp or even 700 if you want the real kick-in. But with open diff i would say stage 2 450 bhp is enough cuz it is more controlable in terms of acceleration and general control of the car itself!

fauzi hassan dont sell yourself short.. lol

MAKE GO FAST BRRRRRRR

Gerard Walsh I think that's an option, but yeah a lot of useless accessories concerning performance

Gerard Walsh the most noticeable ones are the: Power Kit ( +20hp +20torque), and the performance exhaust. The others provides no downforce or anything other than extra weight.

Gerard Walsh the m240i has already the limited slip dif

@@dominikstork8365 don't believe it does

It isn't supposed to have a lsd but I see both wheels spinning

Well the zf8 is basically soft shifting with a software you can make it feel like a doubleclutch on a audi or porsche that is how good it is. But it depends what you want. I have soft shifts in comfort mode and fast shifts on sport and sport+ . 450 bhp even the newest bmw m3 comp didn't stand a chance from 100 kph to 240kph. The road had to many cars so we couldn't go faster.

jay patterson this is a south african channel we use the metric system. Why can't American or British car channels use kw as well? It was filmed in cape town

Doing the conversion and the cost is essentially the same in America. Of course, Americans probably have more kit installed than Europe/South Africa, so maybe it costs more overall. Tire costs are about the same, too.

Jackie Dickson Hi....I respect your opinion, but the M240i is not faster than an M2 in a straight line. A manual M2 gets to 60mph in 4.2-4.3 sec. DCT does it in 4.1, but have seen 4.0 sec. A 240i on its best day is 4.4-4.5sec, and I'm being generous. With that said, the B58 engine is really good. Would rather have the N55 in the M2 because it is highly tweaked using many S55 components and higher boost.

Matthew Stephan Hi Matthew...Just because it gets to 100 first doesn't mean it would win a quarter mile. But I won't argue about it. Please check the videos and you'll see for yourself.

Watch this if you think the M2 is quicker. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mdaYqLCBs8nIhI0.html

240i faster than bmw m2 don't make me laugh, never in a million years

M2 will beat you to death, too. Non-adjustable suspension. Plus, the B58 engine in the M240i is miles ahead of the N55/S55 engines in terms of reliability.

Tlangela Ntshembo Mkhacane After test driving this car and then the M2, I’m ordering the M2. I liked the steering and the suspension in the M2 better and it looks more muscular. Also, it was only $10k more.

Drove both. Bought the M240i because of the better engine and adjustable suspension.

Nah. M240i is better for many reasons.

Buisang Ndlozi Buy it & see, lifes full of interesting surprises... ;)

It is pretty direct and sporty cuz you only have 1495 kg without driver. With rwd you can brake perfectly into a corner to make it move like a snake but the only little problem is the open diff. Sometimes it gets tricky to really drift so it is better to buy an aftermarket lsd for absolutly perfect performance.

Hi Mzomhle Matonana, I've had a 240i now for 1mth and have just put 2000kms on the clock. Mine has got the 8spd ZF box, so can't comment on what the manual box is like. The auto box has been absolutely perfect and the changes are damn near as quick as my Golf's DSG dual-clutch box. I used to never be happy with traditional auto torque-converter type boxes, so until the Golf's DSG auto, I'd only had and been happy with manuals. But now I find this 240i ZF box is as quick as the VW DSG, and a dream to use. Much smoother when taking off from standstill and at low speeds, without any of the DSG's inherent hesistancies. In traffic, I'd use the ZF in 'Comfort' mode and it's beautifully smooth and more than quick enough. In traffic, 'Sport' and 'Sport+' modes are too snappy and edgy, but once going, these two quicker modes are brilliant. Take a test drive, you won't be disappointed.

Hi Teddy Spot, Thanks for reply. I have an old 135 dct and I love it. In sport the changes are brutal but in normal driving it's pretty smooth. The only problem I have with it is a slight lag when you taking of at the robot or rolling start when you put your foot hard down. I'm not sure how the BMW dct compares to the golf don't think that's a fare comparison, I'm just wondering how it compares to the ZF box.

I've found the ZF in comfort has slight lag when I put the boot in from standstill or rolling start. So, I'll change to sport or sport+ if I'm planning to hammer it, and these two modes will respond with full power the instant I mash the pedal. The B58 loves to rev so much I find it difficult to change in time manually if I'm using the steering wheel paddles while attacking turns under full power. When that happens, I chicken out and just go full automatic :)

MrSamsam911 lol no need BMW has a same dash from 2005 with an aftermarket tablet stuck with superglue

Ahmed Moosaji Ehmmm.....NO!!!

Ahmed Moosaji = clueless muppet

Teddy Spot ...thank you....🤔😑

it always seems weird to hear someone from the wrong side of the world say our steering wheels are on the wrong side.

@@AndrewSmith-sy7ws I've driven cars with the steering wheel on the correct side and on the wrong side in various countries around the world. It never felt natural to shift gears with my left hand, but it always felt natural to shift gears with my right hand.

@@HansDelbruck53 thats because you grew up around left hand steer cars....thats such a biased response....if you grew up in a country where men shake hands as a greeting you would definitely feel weird being in a country where men hug each other as a greeting

​@@HansDelbruck53 wtf you talking about? "Wrong side" lmao there is no wrong or correct side.

@@cam_121 It's a matter of perspective. Most drivers around the world are used to having the steering wheel on the left side and driving in the right lane.

MLGCUP177 Exactly! This guy is the most entertaining car guy iv seen on KZfaq! Sweet ride man, i have a GTI Clubsport myself! Check my channel! Do you have videos on the R? :)

cool 3DFX i dont have vids i need to make some i was thinking of swopping my M135i for a CS, my bud bought one with stage 2 making 263wkw 490 nm and its epic will check out your vids

On the wheels at 250kw and 500nm?? Are you sure? That’s usually what BMW quote at flywheel though (as shown in the brochure and engine spec)

GERMAINE true not worth the money BMW has a same dash from 2005 with an aftermarket tablet stuck with superglue If you want true driving experience brz is best just add a supercharger and you are good

GERMAINE but the brz is so embarrassingly slow.. I drove my friends scion frz and fell asleep at full throttle. Sure it handles well in the corners but it gets old pretty quickly driving it in traffic and having to rev the shit to the sky just to overtake a Camry. Who I'm sure would have beaten me if it cared to. Yeah I'll pass on the slowRZ.

LegendInThaMakin slow - yes, is it so slow that it matters to most people - no. I owned one for 1.5 years and decided to move on to the Golf R, which I'm sure everyone agrees is a decently quick car especially compared with the BRZ. I also test drove a 2 series and a 4 series for about 30-45 minutes each. What I've experienced from all the Germans is a nice ride, good power, and really good interior. But none of them communicated like the BRZ did. In the BRZ day to day traffic was fun, and you always felt involved. With the others you're more just an individual within a capsule that takes you from place to place. The story changes a little when you start really pushing them but by that stage you're at 2 times the speed limit...

***** u test drive automatics?

Lol it's his real voice. You should watch more of his reviews very factual and hilarious at the same time
