My 09 Elantra came with a CD player, and I only ever put one disc into the slot because I couldn't wait until I got home to listen to it. I ripped a ton of discs on the computer, and then put them on a usb thumb drive. It would play either .wav or .mp3 files, with more music available to you than you could listen to on a coast to coast drive.

Looks like the M8 is the only current BMW to still receive the iD7 separate display with iD9 software. Really wish BMW would offer the option for the separate displays as it’s visually better and physical climate control buttons along with radio buttons is the best. Also I want an actual gear shifter not some thin rail to select my gears.

There is a package called the “Cooling and High Performance Tire Package” It comes with these rims the small extra fender flares and Michelin pilot sport 4s. In Europe it also includes bigger front brake rotors and a second oil cooler on the right hand side of the car. These both come stock in the US speced cars. I was going to order the M2, until. I saw one. I really think the M240 is so much nicer so I went with it instead of the M2 and saved 10 grand as well. I have an M240 on order, it’s actually on the boat now should get it in a couple weeks. After studying all the options as long as I did I have memorized most of them 😂. As far as blacking out everything in the US it is called shadow line trim and elsewhere its called “black exterior contents” but it’s an option I added as well. Looks awesome!

@@POV_Driving Ehh I think the weight difference would be negligible in real world driving. I haven't driven the M240i but I've driven the M340i and the new M3 and M2 and I couldn't feel any noticeable difference with the balance or weight transfer or anything like that between the 3. All were RWD. Pricing wise, yeah with the right specs between the two, there's maybe a $5~6k difference but for two extra doors, that practicality is worth it IMO. Not just saying that because I'm a dad but because I've also had a few mustangs, an RSX and a Civic and it was always kind of a pain to carry more than 1 extra person in the coupes.

Ha, ha...I just bought this one yesterday 😄 So to answer your main question - I like it better than my G20 M340 (which I have just traded in for this one). The M340 is a great car, don't get me wrong, I love the cruising on the 401 and also has good rolling punch... but it feels a bit bulky, as they make them bigger and bigger with every new release - and because the M240 is also a bit lighter, it feels quicker too (mostly noticeable in D mode). Handling on the M240 is amazing and feels easier to manoeuvre than the M340. It also feels a bit more responsive during up-shifts (maybe milliseconds less lag) ....driving hasn't felt so much fun since my E46 M3 :)
