@ajstevens16522 жыл бұрын
Tbh, every review I have seen has praised it for the engine, platform and performance and called it great value for money. Most of the people criticising it are those who would not consider buying one anyway, and I'd argue the M240i is the best of the up-and-coming BMW models.

I'm currently in a four year old 335d and it's an amazing car...this M240i looks wonderful. I'm torn between it and the 340d for the torque.
@NomadJedi2 жыл бұрын
Yeah same here! People criticise the headlights, but the front ones remind me of the 2002 homage and the rear ones the E90. Maybe the triangles are a bit weird, but I don’t think they ruin the car or anything. Previous 2 series wasn’t exactly beautiful to me until the M2 received the competition version, so this one actually seems like an improvement over the predecessor.

I appreciate the video, thank you. One small point, it's NOT an M car. It's a 2 series M Performance model. It is a nice car, and I think it looks really good, I don't get the hate for this latest 2 series. I have not have the chance to drive one yet, but I have no doubt it will be fast in a straight line, yet still very comfortable and relaxing to daily drive. My last car was an M140i, which also was NOT an M car. I spent thousands upgrading it, tuning it, and you know what, it still wasn't close to being a real M car. I now have an OG M2, and it is levels above in suspension, steering, handling, sound, and looks. It is a REAL M car.

It's a neat car-almost like what the M3 once was. BMW just doesn't seem as special or exclusive as it once did. Used to be you had 3 series, 5 series, 7 series, and the halo 8 series coupe (for a while). Now you've got 7 levels of SUVs and 8 levels of cars-and they've all gotten increasingly bloated and expensive. The 3 series used to be the drivers' car, the 5 series was still a solid driver, but for the more well-heeled enthusiasts. 7/8 series were executive luxury rides. Now every soccer mom is rolling around in an X1 with a 299 a month lease.

How would you compare this M240i to a GTMustang, like a Bullitt for example? What about a Boxster or Cayman? I’m shopping so I’d like your input. Thanks!
@MilesPerHr2 жыл бұрын
Damn, those are all excellent cars - and all very different driving experiences. The Bullitt is my favorite non-Shelby Mustang. It's loud, tail-happy, and not nearly as precise as the Bimmer or Cayman/Boxster. The Cayman/Boxster have the best steering and feel the lightest in corners. The M240i is somewhere in between. It's righteously fast and handles well. I think the Cayman looks best, M240i has the best interior, and the Mustang has the best soundtrack. I'd choose the Cayman for a track day or canyon drive and the Bullitt or M240i for a daily driver. This is long winded, but the answer is that you should pick the car that best aligns with your personality and driving style. I hope this was helpful.

I disagree. It’s crazy how much weight this has gained over the previous generation. The last gen wasn’t exactly light either. That mild-hybrid tech is SUPER heavy, and provides negligent benefits. In fact, certain BMWs with this tech get worse mpg on the highway than before they had this tech. We’ll see when the new M2 comes out how it fares. Either way, nice tour of the car!
