The 2022 BMW M240i xDrive Is A 2002-Inspired Turbocharged Sports Coupe

Рет қаралды 124,456

Күн бұрын

The #BMW2Series has been the entry level model for BMW for nearly a decade now and for 2022, the #2Series has been fully redesigned with lots of inspiration taken from the iconic 2002 from the 1970's. This #M240i has all the specs to get any enthusiast happy with a turbocharged straight 6-cylinder making nearly 400 HP and a RWD chassis. Its a small proper BMW with a design that also doesn't offend in the way that the current #BMW 4-series might.

@TheNaveelttil 2 жыл бұрын

@@BPR-IronCurtain my experience has been pretty good with my car as well. The N52 engine (the last NA Inline 6 BMW made) is pretty reliable, honestly. I don’t drive very much (5-6k miles a year), but it’s never broken down on me. There’s been preventative maintenance done, as well as small repairs, which aren’t cheap, but they’ve really only happened once in 9 years of ownership, so I can’t complain. The car isn’t perfect, but for a car that was built 11 years ago, it’s holding up very well. It’s also important to find a good dealer with a service advisor that you trust or a well-rated independent mechanic. Personally, I think most 6-cylinder BMWs from 2009 onwards should run fine with regular maintenance. When I do decide to get a new car in the next year or two, I really have to make a touch decision because the 128i does so many things right.
