Living with the BMW M240i X-Drive - Who needs an M2 ?

Рет қаралды 81,948

Күн бұрын

One week and over 500 miles of living with the new BMW M240i X-Drive and the first questions is who needs an M2 ? This new range topping 2 series packs a punch with just over 370 horsepower and four wheel drive it delivers one of the most impressive 0-60 times I have experienced. At £48,000 this press car is well specced and I think delivers a great package for the money.
All I can say is if the 'M-Lite' 2 Series is this good then just how epic is the new M2 going to be when that arrives ?!

Must have watched this video about 10 times. Brilliant review. Pulled the trigger today and ordered one in black, fully spec’d. Bargain of the century in terms of the performance and creature comforts for the money. Test drive blew me away, it’s one of those cars that the looks and performance only really come across in person. This video helped make a pretty easy decision even easier, and looking forward to watching it over and over whilst I wait for delivery!

Hi Pete, I had one for a few hours and as an M2 Comp owner my thoughts as follows; 1. On a typical B road in perfect conditions the M240i would keep an M2C honest (ie there would be nothing in it). If those perfect conditions change, say a little damp or more bumpy the M240i will be ahead and the M2C driver getting slightly sweaty! 2. The interior, whilst not to my taste (the dials) makes the M2C feel like an older generation 3. The quality of materials on the touch points is higher 4. The grip inspires confidence (potentially over confidence) 5. The looks are, different but in typical BMW fashion will probably grow in acceptance. So why didn’t / haven’t I made the change? It’s the sensory experience of the M2C. There is an edge to it which keeps you fully awake. You can get in that M240i and drive at real pace with limited time behind the wheel such is the quality of the systems supporting the driver, take those liberties in an M2C and you’ll likely be in a hedge! As you say I can’t imagine what the new M2 will be like! Now just one problem, after driving the M240i I was in a used 981 GT4 the following week - whilst that’s a tale for another time it really brings home the difference between a very fast coupe and a sports car in terms of sensory experience! All the best Pete tho next time tease Joe Achilles about the tyres😂. All the best, Kevin.

I agree!. Coming from an m340i I couldnt feel It so sporty car as the m2c. The m240i should be a bit more agile but again as Kevin stated is a different experience. I noticed some m2c owners trading their cars for the new m240i. It has all to do on how they drive and what they are looking for. Let’s see how will be the new m2. But for the price I would be cross shopping other brands o as well.

I appreciate the review, thank you. In the past 5 years I've owned an Audi S4 and Mercedes AMG C43, both priced around $60K USD. Both very nice cars. For around $53K out the door (and with superior performance in comparison) this car is an amazing bargain. To be honest I don't understand all the consternation about the styling - especially from the rear - this is hands down a gorgeous car from any angle. I will be ordering a 2023 in the next two weeks. Even found a SoCal dealer willing to go a bit below MSRP.

I agree it’s well-priced vs the competition, the way it drives and sounds and the interior quality are all fantastic. Following a demo a month ago have ordered one. I can’t imagine how quick M2 will be but tbh it’s likely to be a bit too hardcore for me (not to mention expensive!) Styling… well it’s one of those cars which looks so much better in the metal than in photos!

@samuelchopard 2 жыл бұрын

@@stevehs4287 It’s definitely on another level, I’m still amazed! The car looks amazing “in the flesh”, much better than on photos. Same goes for the sound. It already sounds good on video, but in real life it’s even better (inside and outside). Starting this B58 is an experience on its own. My M135i almost sounded like a hybrid after driving the M240i (maybe I’m exaggerating a bit here lol). Unfortunately I couldn’t really test the handling because I didn’t have enough time to go to a proper road… One big difference is the gearbox. It’s much smoother and sharper than the Aisin (which is already not bad). I could definitely notice the difference in gearshift speed. The gearshifts on the M135i are fast, but with the ZF it’s practically instantaneous. If you are interested in one, the best is to find a way to test-drive one and feel it. It makes a huge difference. Oh, and don’t bother testing a 340i or a 440i, it won’t feel the same. I test-drove a 440i back in February and I was underwhelmed. The M240i feels very different in my opinion. All that’s left for me now is to sell my M135i… it’s a great car, but I want a little bit more :) Hope that helped :)

Same 0-60 as a Ferrari FF for half the price of a 10yo FF. Similar real-world 0-60 as a base 911 for about half the price, but this is AWD. Much quieter cabin than a 911, too. I like the looks. The rear end isn't its greatest feature, but it's not offensive, IMO. And the 992 911 also has a rear end that many consider awkward. Personally, I also rather like this dark purple colour. Great straight-six engine. Very practical for its format. It's no more intended to be a family car than a 911, but still it's more practical. Also, as so many claim the 911 has too much cabin noise for daily use, this would make a better daily performance car. As for this versus the upcoming new full monty M2 and even more hardcore variants: this is already more than powerful enough for the road. So, if not interested in the track, look no further; this is the one. And, FWIW, I fully-optioned one of these for 52-53K. That's rather amazing for what you get, and considering BMW normally likes to charge like a wounded bull for options. For track use, you may well want to wait and likely opt for an M2. Of course, it will likely cost significantly more money, and be far less compliant on the road.

But the 240i is more like that girl who’s easy on the eyes but not everyone’s first choice. But once she’s with someone then everyone wants her.(hope that makes sense) I think this car looks way better then the m3 or m4. The rear end isn’t terrible in my opinion but definitely not the best. 3rd I think the color is cool. Maybe not my first choice. Definitely reminds me of the crazy colors old and now newer muscle cars get.

I love the fact the HVAC is still button and not screen-controlled. Having seen the recently announced LCI of my M340i xDrive it annoys me that BMW are moving more towards the god-awful touch screen worshippers. My plan had been to step up to the M3 next, but I really cannot countenance this touch-screen-at-all-costs mantra.

Excellent review. I own a 230i coupe which has 255hp and 295 torque with rear wheel drive. It’s about 300lbs lighter than the 240iXdrive. I’ve not driven the 240i but I’ve read it’s not as nimble and not as good in the corners due to the increased weight up front. However the 240 is much quicker for sure. Due to,the lack of speed sensation it’s probably too easy to get stopped for illegal speeding! My car has been clocked at 5.1 , 0-60 which is fast enough for me but the 240i is certainly tempting. The problem is there’s no cars here. Maybe in six months a 240i will be available. I purchased this 230i off the showroom floor..

Had to read up on what "manual mode" was because for a brief instant I hoped it was actually manual.
