Is this better than the new M2? | BMW M240i road review

BMW launched its new 2 Series with the M240i at the Goodwood Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard. Now we get to drive this straight-six-powered purple stunner. And we have two questions. Is it actually bold enough when it looks a lot like a standard 2 Series, and is the M240i actually fast enough to make the new M2 redundant?

Your video editor confused the 3.0CSL with the E30 M3. That was a giggle.

E30 M3 was also no 6cyl.

This one certainly looks better than the M2

It’s funny that I used to say the same thing about going from a GT86 to a WRX. “It isn’t more fun, just a different kind of fun” That being said it is a damn shame that the 230i isn’t available for some people. I’ve owned my 2023 230i for a few months now and it is the best middle ground car. RWD, plenty of power for public roads, well balanced, better handling due to have over 330 pounds less over the nose. The amount of power in the 240i is almost irresponsible for public roads. The 230i is definitely the sweet spot, trade some of that acceleration for better handling. 400nm or 300 lb of torque is more than enough to dust most other cars on the road.

It’s a twin scroll turbo not twin turbo…. The X5 was launched 1998… The E30 was confused with the CSL and the 135i came before the 1M… did anyone check the video before it came out lol

Painful to watch. Also the DBS, F430 and Gallardo were 4 seconds or less to 60mph so faster than the M240i. Just a video spilled out to be relevant it seems.

Nice and so informative video I have a question what do you think getting m240 or m440 if I don’t care about rear seats

Correction: the E53 (OG) X5 was launched in 1998/1999, not 2003.

The E82 125i and 135i Coupe came before the 1M.

Why did you show an E30 M3 when the 3.0 CSL was mentioned?

What a noise.. finally the microphone on top the exhaust!

since it's automatic how are u changing gears with the pedals behind the wheel? I'm kind of confused on what is going on there

@kayronmercieca8226 Жыл бұрын

You can set the gearbox in "Manual Mode" so you can shift gears with the paddles yourself.

@@kayronmercieca8226 ohhhh, so why doesnt this become standard in most cars? Feel like it’s better than manual or atleast more convenient in general, cool concept

@kayronmercieca8226 Жыл бұрын

@@amaterasu4186 Yeah, it's a cool concept, I agree. Basically manual but without manual clutch control. Some cars automatically shift up for you even in manual mode if you keep high revs, others just let you sit on high revs regardless (like an actual manual car).
