I think I've never seen Joe with such a big smile on his face when driving a car, no wonder why BMW is the ultimate driving machine

Just got my M240i!!! I was looking for one for months. Someone in Ft Lauderdale ordered it and their finances must have fallen through. I happened upon their website the day it was posted. The smoothest small car ever...I bought it thinking I'll be looking around in 3 years for something else...not so sure now. Mine is all black exterior with red interior. I have a fake right knee but I can get in and out easily. Drove it 4 hours home from Ft Lauderdale and got out once, not sore or cramped up at all. Seats are outstanding. Love that I can put 2 sets of clubs, luggage and cooler in it. both seats fold down. So far, wife doesn't want to drive it, not unhappy about that!

FINALLY...someone who understands & appreciates this gorgeous design - even the taillights! It packs so much in a small & unique package, few cars compare in this class. Mine is on order!

I took delivery of this exact car at the end of December 2021. I had a 2018 M240i, but this car is superior in every way. I'm still breaking the car in, so I have not fully explored the performance, but a huge smile is on my face every time I get into this car! I love how BMW did not put the ridiculous grill from the 3 and 4 series cars. BTW, I think it should have been mentioned that the x-drive is heavily biased to the rear of the car which is great for handling!

Great content as usual Joe, I spec'd and ordered a 22' and ended up with a 23' opting for the wheel and tire pkg, best car I have owned. Having driven my car for 4 months and watching you snap off the gears you were knocking on triple digits after the twisty bits, and thats confirmation that it is one on the best daily drivers under 60K, load up the trunk head out of town and smiles ensue. Oh and on regular 100-200 mile trips ill see 33MPG, can't do that in the turbo 4's.

I think BMW knows this is the last hurrah as we embark on electrification and they wanted to make a point. I think they really killed with the new m240i and especially the M3. I know the grille is a bit over the top, but if we never see the next generation of gas engine M series, the M3 will be iconic. I can't wait to see what the M2 is going to offer and I'm sure it will be offered with a manual. God bless BMW for not forgetting about those who want to drive. Thank you for the great review!

I optioned the aluminum tetragon trim instead of piano black on my M240i, looks way better and no fingerprints anywhere, in another note, it’s one of the best vehicles I’ve owned, it’s just a fantastic car, great review Joe, looks like you had a blast!

Honestly, it's gotten to a point where automatic transmissions are better than any manual available. I can remember when it was the other way around but after hearing how quickly that ZF 8 speed was shifting I don't think this car deserved a zonk for not offering a manual.

If you stay stock, it comes in at $49,545 including destination and handling. I'd just add the M sport red calipers (no charge). Definitely worth $49k. Don't need the extra $8k bells and whistles on Joe's press car.

It’s so cute lol. I like it though honestly and BMW did a great job with the redesign and features on it, from power to just all around good looks.

Watched this and bought a 23’ M240i and it is a fantastic car! Thanks for the recommendation

Another review hit out of the park! Your enthusiasm and passion for doing these reviews is infectious. Thinking of cross-shopping this against the AWD Stinger GT2 and G70. All 3 are in the mid to upper $50k range. Just need to decide if I really need to have 4 doors and if the BMW trunk fits 2 sets of golf clubs. Looking forward to your next review!

Good looking BMW. As the British would say, it’s got a proper grill too, not that giant beaver tooth thing. Lol. Nice review Joe and great job Lori!! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

The B58 in this car is a monstrous engine I can only imagine how much better this car must feel since it’s so light and smaller then the m340i

Just bought a used CPO ‘23 m240i xdrive with 3,000 miles on it. My first BMW and my first real performance car. This thing is a beast and an absolute blast to drive every day. The launch control on this thing is absolutely insane.

This is the evolution of the135i. My 135i was ok til about 4 years old. It has incrementally cost me far more than I paid in repair costs, including the global I6 recall for sheared VANOS bolts migrating into the oil pan requiring a full tear down and rebuild that took BMW's master tech three weeks to fix. And the electrical fire that destroyed the ECU and fuse panel and all electrical components. Then all the flat panel melted in the 🌞. Endless oil leaks, broken lines, bad starter, bad intake seals, blown charge pipe, bad throttle body, brakes failed, two battery harnesses, leaking coolant reservoir, cracked coolant lines over the radiator, rattling windshield, cracked windshield three times (excessive body flex), leaking oil pan, bad oil sensor, fouled VANOs solinoids, failed boost solenoids, two water pumps failed, and a hundred things I'm forgetting. There are still $10s of thousands in pending repairs that I'm not doing. Needs a new convertible top, the transmission pops out of gear, has torn fake leather dispite being babied, needs a new AC compressor, has numerous oil leaks and boost leaks and disintegrating plastic engine parts. Disgusting crap. Worst car I've ever owned. Just a putrid disgrace. 130K miles.

Thank you for this video I've been having problems with finding my first car but I think this is the one

HELL YEA its worth it. If you find one without many options its low 50’s. Ive seen Lexus IS350 going for over 50k and as a previous IS350 owner, the IS is SLOW. This car is a beast with that launch control.

Now this is an excellent vehicle for the money. Light weight, fast, economical, and compared to other vehicles in its price point it makes a very compelling argument. The reliability of the BMW I-6 can't be understated. I am very curious to see what the new M2 or M2CS are going to look like, perhaps a twin turbo for around 430hp but lets hope the price increase isn't that much because it starts to compete with some other heavy hitters.

Yes it’s worth it. I think the 2 Series, be it a full on M or M-lite, is the best BMMR

For someone who bought a GT 350R Heritage I'm surprised you thought a M2 Comp was pricey for what you got. Fun little cars.

I like this car. If I were to get one it would be sliver with Brown interior on the inside . I would then change the stock wheels to aftermarket carbon fiber ones by the way.

That car is just begging for a tune and exhaust.

With a car that small the sunroof is basically panoramic!

One of the best new cars you can buy for under $50k (This one has almost all options at $57k) Toyota Supra with more conservative styling, a back seat, a good trunk, good rear visibility and AWD You could really make an argument for owning both the M240i, as a daily, and the upcoming M2, with more power, RWD, and a stick.

Raiti, you're my favorite review channel buddy

The 0-60 time is the same as the M2, but much cheaper. I’m preordering one in May. Cannot wait!!!

Joe, you must have listened to me. Just a couple days ago I asked when are you going to do this review and BAM!!! here it is. Ordered one in Potimao Blue this month and now the wait begins. Keep up the great work.

Hey Joe, I love these on throttle!!! I do feel you have the passion.

Love it, basically a 2+2 AWD Supra

I do wish the back looked a bit better, but I’ve seen it in person and it looks amazing. It would be nice to get a hard top convertible. Great review!

I think If anybody is interested in the new MK8 R AND willing to pay markup, this is the car to highly consider / cross-shop. Great power for your dollar 🚙💨

I love bmw for decades and this new bmw looks absolutely stunning

Looks like the perfect car to toss around a twisty mountain road!

Great review as the norm ! Have had mine for almost 3 months and it’s a dream car with such a well balance between comfort and performance. My most favorite car In all my years👍🏻👊🏻 Love that I have room for all my Twinkies to 😁 Lori owns that camera with Authority :)what great shots and footage. Thank you Lori !

I own an M340i xdrive and the engine HP is more than 382, prob over 400 as BMW underestimates their reported numbers. This M240 is a monster and other than the back seat room, the trunk is larger than my M340. For 57k it’s a performance bargain.

Love your videos. Definitely the best car reviewer on KZfaq in my opinion. I love the snack references haha. I ordered one of these in the Brooklyn grey color and Red Leather interior. I should have it sometime this summer! I can’t wait!

This looks like it would be fun here, on the back roads of western NY. Nice review

That's a really nice machine. To be sure it's at least half a second quicker than what BMW quotes it at (0-60 @ 4.1) and I threw all the options at it in the BMW configurator and only barely passed $57K! That's even with that red leather and the optional cooling package that fortuitously removes run-flats from the option-list. If we make it through 2022 this might be my vehicle! Melbourne Red for the win!!

Oooooooooh myyyyyyyy gaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwd yeeeeeeeeeeeees maaaaaaaan!!!! All the yesses!!! This M240i is an absolute gem!!! After this review I am convinced I live in the wrong state!!! I spend soooooooo much time dodging potholes I can't even begin to enjoy any drives!!! Great review as usual Joe and Lori!!! Great car by BMW and look at that grill to front fascia ratio....PERFECT!!!!

Cool New 2022 BMW M240i Review.

Another great video Lori! Love the new design actually. I like how the headlights are separate from the grille. Miss the dual headlights though.

Best value european car by far.

I love the Slick looking Widebody of this Car , love the Lines and Curves too

Shouldve tried launch control

No body gives reviews better than Raitis rides…

I got used to that toothy grille, now I can't live without it!!!😩

I’ve really been into this car recently, so I’ve watched a lot of reviews on it. I enjoy your reviews the most. You do a good job. Thanks. I did see a review tho were the 240i didn’t have the gloss black interior

Milo’s in the house!!!!✊🏿💯🏁🏁

Great car, too bad the manual is gone. Have to go to an M2 to get it.

This looks pretty perfect for me. And I could drive it all through the snowy winter

I'm a happy owner of a 18 m240i in burnt orange and black rims. You've got me wanting to upgrade to this. Hmmm.

I love how the taillights are hated in Europe but loved in the USA

I picked mine up in Brooklyn gray just a few days ago. It's fantastic!

I know its a great car simply because Joe went on throttle 4 times in one review.

As An German / European Vehicle Fan. I Totally Love The Grille In The Brand-new BMW M240I. Also I Rather Get This Vehicle Over It's Competition. But Excellent Review Joe.

Answer to the question: hell yeah!

Pure joy from driving it. Love it bro

I asked, and I have received the review! Thank you 😊

FINALLY!!!! You said in a couple week few months ago that this review would come! I went ahead and bought it without your review which made me sad. I'm f-ing loving it!

This already looks super cool. It just has me thinking about what the next M2 will look like. I just sold my 981 Cayman and am thinking about what is next. Please give us the stick shift in the M2!!! I owned the E46 M3 and it was my favorite car I've ever owned.

Awesome BMW M240I Joe! I love this video of the vehicle I think BMW went over and be of on how BMW did with this dandy of a 2-Class and the power is a dandy. #bmwm240i

I’m loving this car!!! Will park it next to my new Ram limited2022. I also like the fact that it’s a one seater cause I can fit all my twinkies next to me!! Great job as always Joe!!! Whose better than Lori?!?!?!?!?…….NOBODY!!!!!!

I bought A 2022 F97 Competition it got everything I need , Speed, looks and Design // Brooklyn Grey Metallic

Great honest review Joe, I traded my type R and bought the same spec m240xi in December and love it although I think the civic is a better drivers car but I don’t miss it. This think is rocket in sport plus mode and launch control is outrageous.

Joe R. MINE, I called DIBS, gimme. I love it. not feeling good, headaches are unreal, hospice care is annoying, lucky if I see April. thanks Joe for being my YT friend, I don't have many friends. tony

This is the front end the M3 needs next year. Looks so much cleaner with the small grill and in NJ you won’t have license plate sitting right in middle of it.

A co worker just got a 230i and it looks great in person. I'm not a big fan of BMW, but I'd take this new gen

Looks great in white

I think when I pass on my 392, this is top of my list. Looks good, sounds good, goes good.

Excellent car I want one. Great color combo and engine, transmission.

I still remember, that the BMW M2 Competition for the Future of 2 series of the 2022.

Absolutely

Joe, love All your honest and in depth review videos but I'm very curious.... what do you drive? What is your daily driver?

Nice! 🔥

I want this car

This guy got da storage/ snack jokes. Don’t ever change.

Maybe this is the “daily” M2 for the Enthusiasts. The M2 should be much more track focused… making it uncomfortable for daily use or on log trips. However, maybe the M2 will be ok as a daily …who knows?

Also nephew Joe, in the description, it says ZF 9-speed. It should say 8-speed. BMW doesn’t use 9 speed transmissions.

I been waiting for you to review this! How good was this Joe? Can't believe they gave this car such performance.

What a beauty

I was literally typing the car into Google when you mentioned it doesn't come in manual. I don't have many dealbreakers when it comes to cars, most everything can be modified or added on later, but a manual transmission is my number 1. It's _gotta_ have it, and I hate how the industry is trying to move away from it.

Is it safe to say that one of his favorite snacks is twinkies

ave had mines since November, and still smile as big as that as i approach the car to drive it

Growing in size and weight over the previous generation is almost never a plus for performance cars. When can we expect to see a true M2?

Miss my 2011 bmw 135i. I can only imagine this car it’s beautiful. Now I got a 2021 WRX had to get a car that can put a smile on me and fit my two toddlers

I bought my first new BMW in 2000; an '01 325i Coupe with Sport/pkg. $35K out the door. That is about $58K today so this is what I'd be buying if I were 28 again. 🙂 My car had the 2.5l I6 at 170hp lol----this thing has almost 400!!! For about the same real world price!! You kids are lucky SOBs...

im a sucker for the b58 rn, easy mods for big hp gains!

Hi Rides What Is Your Favorite Car

0-60 3.5 seconds is crazy

240i seems like a smashing car but if I lived in FL, I could never give up on the RWD and manual

Beautiful! Thank you.

Excellent Review!! Many Thanks, Peace From London. 🙏🙏

I love the new grill on the m3 and 4s it’s so cool

Machine on the high way

Damn Joe, I really like this BMW ...price isn't too bad , I might save up for the M240i ....

This is like the old 3 series

Joe, I have to zonk the gloss black trim on the bottom of the car, especially on this white one. Other than that, it's very impressive looking. Great review! I hope you pull the trigger on this one.

Very nice body design. thank goodness the humungas grill ain't there.smallest car but big price.

Love it !!
