Hi, Ilike your way of doing the cars review. It's relaxed funny and not intoxicating the viewers with too many specs that can be found everywhere. It's merely a description of what the car feels like from the driving and driver perspective which is most important when paying that price. I actually own this car only is an xDrive version. It's a beautiful car to drive and enjoyable in any situation whether fast or just cruising. I can tell that the way you described the driving sensation and how this car can keeps you smiling when driven it's very accurate. Thanks for such well done reviews. It's a pleasure to watch them.

As an M4 and C63S Coupe owner I have test driven thisM 240i as well with BMW and it offers very very good value for money considering what you get as a driver, rear wheel drive, enough torque, and a pretty good looking ass. If you want a townhouse in Korea buy one, if you want an affordable sports car you can drift around mountain passes, get the M240i.

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!

It actually has 500nm. The 450nm is the M235i with the N55 engine. This Baby is powered by the new B58 engine. More resilient and more efficient. It's actually faster than the M2 in a straight line. I agree with what Ciro said when he said it never stops accelerating. BMW is still gonna shock a lot of people with this engine. I just hope the upcoming M2 uses it.😍😍
@floridamaddogg6 жыл бұрын
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.

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.
@mzomhlematonana86737 жыл бұрын
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.
@2Spot87 жыл бұрын
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 :)

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...
