Those oxblood seats are proper! 💪❤️

Very good video. Love the color inside and out.

Thanks!

This was an excellent Saturday... you did this video and JayEmm did his DBS presentation... It's like Christmas Eve for an oversized kid like me... Thanks Ben! Are all of your kids referred to as "Pickle"? Or is there one that is more "Picklish" than the others? 😊

Ive had my F22 m240i for 8 months now and ive done 8000 miles in it. Super happy with pretty much all aspects, and economy has been surprisingly good. I get around 35mpg commuting and can get 39-40mpg on the motorway. The ZF gearbox is surprisingly good too. Certainly wouldnt spend twice as much for a bigger, heavier, slower and uglier version with no buttons.

Just bought a 230i msport xdrive in Brooklyn Grey. It’s a fantastic car! Quick, fun, great tech, handling, excellent mpg, and luxury all in one. It’s not a family car it’s a fun daily for two or one person.

If I had to talk to a machine to get it to not work..... I would take a very large hammer to it.

Reminded me of when Clarkson fell out with the BMW M5 in the 00s! 💻

Hey this is my car! Mama we made it haha gonna show my wife when she's up / I agree with the gripes with the screen and voice assistant! Mine is a 2023 (U.S Version) and has 255 HP/ 295 Torque, quite the difference!

Imagine the stuff that’s gonna go wrong in a few years time these cars will just have to be thrown away! Imagine if your kid was called Computer!

What's he doing, not getting a van to take his grand kids off your hands?!? Selfish man 😂 Sillyness asside. Solid choice! Your Pickles are so cute. Another top shelf video!

My immediate thoughts were exterior i prefer the old model and interior new model but new model seems like a headache old model it is

Old man shouts at car 😂

Haven’t been in the new 2 series but the new G series 3 series plastics and various trim panels are cheaper than the older G series 3 series and the rap around screen is horrid and is simply attached to the old dashboard with cheap plastic brackets. If you look behind it you can still see the old instrument panel. Alpina have got it right and kept the older dashboard

Great video as always! Just wonderingly why you said an m240i instead of an m2?

The thing that would discourage me from the new 2 series is the fact that you could get a previous gen 240i for significantly less and the 240 sounds fantastic and is mega fast or for the same money you could get a slightly used M2 competition

It’s not a good product decision to move everything away from physical controls to digital and voice control. It’s not very user centric design in my opinion, but I suspect this maybe driven by trying to “keep up” with the competition and rushed implementation. Also penny pinching is a factor since digital is always easier to implement, and potentially not as much to go wrong and more software controls and updates can be applied for more functionality in future. I get why manufacturers do it but I feel there can be better ways to implement a solution to the problem. As always fantastic review Ben!

I had 2019 240i loved that car especially with a new born but it stared to hurt my partners back so I had to change it for mk4 focus st estate miss the 240i tho

Nice car! Can’t believe you don’t like the screens 🤣

I can personally vouch for F22 M240i

100% worth the upgrade

I thought newer cars were meant to be better for the environment so why is the tax soo high?

i dont know but i have seat toledo m1 95 model engine swap vr5 or v5 and still eats the tires :) as my father used to say the less electronics you have the better for you

Great review as always I'm with you on the screen, horrible

Can I just clarify that I only have 11 grandchildren! DadCars’Dad

Are kids in the UK supposed to be buckled up backwards in the rear seat? I never seen that before :). On topic: the G42 is a mean full-grown bulky car with the latest tech onboard. However, I can't help keep staring at my F22 when leaving a parking lot. I don't know if I would get the same feeling on the new one.

My M3 e46 same size car bigger inside won’t depreciate and is £380 road tax.

Sorry if I missed it, but if you don't mind, can I ask what your height is? I'm pretty short at around 5'6 / 5'7 and I'd like to compare my back seat experience to the visual of you getting in the backs of these cars

It definitely looks like they saved money on the switches and spent it on the rest of the interior, but that clearly comes with its downsides!

I hate using touch screen as fingerprints are so visible. I rather use voice control and buttons in my car.

😊

🤣🤣 this is hilarious!

Most decent cars cost more than £40k nowsdays. People can't avoid £600 RFL for first few years.

I think the current 2 M-Sport is the best looking regular BMW currently, and M2 is the best looking BMW.

Computer….Computer! 😂

😂😂😂😂😂😂
