first two points, I actually love about the car 😅 Love the big idrive 8 screen its brilliant, love the grills, because coming from other performance cars that vacuum up so many leafs and bugs, the more 'closed' it can be the better. For the interior I opted for the anthracite instead of gloss black, was like a 250 euro option.

The blue on the kick plate is a protective film over the silver trim. Should be able to peel it off.

Overall looks great. I think I'd prefer the skirt winglets come all the way back to the wheel arch like the M-Performance ones do, following the cut line of the black rocker panels against the body color, but the full skirt is a massive improvement over the stand-alone winglet. Well done!

Hard to tell in the vid, are the side squirts a different color than the rockers ? or are they a dead on match. some videos of the car they seem more of a grey tone. Thank for taking the time to film this. I will be buying the front splitter for sure when mine gets here in September, I got one of the ID8 models, jury still out for me

Hi brian, the splitter and skirts are an extremely close match to the OEM gloss black panels. If you drop us a message on Instagram we can send some close ups to show you.

You guys forgot the shifter…in theory it’s great but in the real world it “gets in the way” I’m one who drives 1 hand on wheel, 1 on shifter when doing that with my 2022 m240i if ur rolling and hit the breaks a little harder u will push the shifter forward putting it into neutral. I’ve not noticed it a few times, hit the gas and just revs…annoying!

You could have specd it without the gloss black interior. You didn't remove the protective stickers, and then complain about it...is this your first new car? Says he doesn't like the grill, then goes on to say he doesn't like it open...🤡 Say he doesn't like the new screens, while reviewing a car that DOESNT have the new screens. This is a video about the 2022...not the 2023. This is one of the worst 240 vids that has come out so far.

@AUTOIDTV 2 жыл бұрын

Hey bud. Gloss black interior is standard for 240i in UK. Don’t worry, we were aware of the protective stickers… we peeled the others off in another video. But it is our first ever new car, which we’re pretty proud of 😆 We don’t like the grill in general. Tried the new screens in other cars. The video is titled “things we hate” so there will be negatives. But I also go on to say that it was a very tough to do and most of the points are trivial because we love the car in general. Hope that clears a few points up 😘
