Nice review and funny! Bought a 2021 today with 2000 miles on it, fantastic car!

3.6 or 3.8, which is better?

putting shitty trim around the arches doesnt make it a widebody...

Where u at bro

I have a 2020 M2C and based on my experience, I will say this is a pretty good explanation of the DCT. I previously owned an E46 M3 6MT, which had an autosolutions 30% reduction shifter and CDV delete. In my opinion, BMW manual transmissions don't shift very well. I don't miss the 6MT at all. DCT is much better and more fun to drive in almost every way. First, it's not humanly possible to shift a manual as fast as DCT, so all things being equal, a car equipped with DCT will accellerate faster than a car equipped with a manual. Second, yoiu can drive without taking your hands off the steering wheel. This is a good thing on the M2C because it's a very tail-happy car. If you are accelerating around a corner and you downshift, the car will immediately oversteer, which is a lot of fun. For a car like this I feel a lot safer not having to take a hand off the steering wheel to shift. I drive my car in sport plus mode and in manual almost all the time. It's a great driving experience and I feel involved as much as if I was physically changing the gear using a manual transmission. The thing I really dislike about the DCT is how it goes into park. There is no park position or button on the shifter. The transmission automatically goes into park when you shut the engine off, which you only can do in drive or reverse. You cannot shut the engine off with the transmission in manual. In fact, the only way you can put the car in manual with the engine off is to lift the car on a hoist and manually move a lever on the transmission. I don't know what the engineers were smoking when they came up with this.

I ❤ove my M5 Competition.

Good to know

Salut, la 1.85 si 114kg un m240i ar fi prea mic pentru mine cu scaunele M?

bro, the M2 can do sub 4s 0-60 what are you doing in manual 😂

Thank you man! Very soon I buying this car (M2)

HATER THE CAR IS AWESOME

lol the m240 xdrive is now the fastest bmw on the planet? Might want to rethink this video

Yes! Yes it is! Drives way better than bought the X5 and X6. Tested all of them. The 5 series is king of driving.

You can open the frunk by moving your hand directly from the middle of the hood past the emblem to the front of the car. It will pop open.

I bought a 2013 bmw m3 coupe convertible. So I’m not sure if it has hill assist, because it has DCT, and I don’t know how to operate it especially when it comes to the ROLLING back

For the extra $10k, I’d take the M2. Those carbon seats are amazing, you can get a manual and the wide body kit just looks better. But the M240i IS faster, barely.

Very helpful

Only 150 of these were delivered to Australia, I'm fortunate to own #142, in the same livery also, I love the car for all the same reasons - my hero car

Read and hear a lot about people experiencing jerking and kangarooing with DCT. The key thing to remember is that DCT uses actual clutch plates (2 sets). And It is just like a manual gearbox other than the clutch (x2) is operated by computer. Did anybody ever kangaroo a manual car when they were learning to drive - I know I did. And you have to remind yourself why that happened. A manual gearbox kamgaroos because the clutch engages and if it happens too quickly the driver reacts by coming off the gas, and then back on the gas, etc etc, and the next thing you're kangarooing all over the place. Once you've learnt to drive and past your test (in a manual), you never kangaroo a manual again. Same with DCT. Once you learn how to control a DCT, you never kangaroo it again. If you're pulling away fast - commit to the launch and it wont be jerky. If driving around town with lots of start stops, or just pulling slowly off your driveway - just tap the gas and creep will engage. Same with reverse - just tap the gas and then let the car creep backwards on it's own. Once you suss out DCT, you wouldn't want anything else. For me, DCT on my M2C is as smooth around town as it is on spirited drives, and unlike the ZF on my old 240, I also have the option to get the gear changes to occur earlier - meaning my RPM isn't sky high in first gear when ideally I want to be in second quite quickly especially when pulling away rapidly at traffic lights.

My household has a new M240i and a new M2. I agree with your conclusions.

The problem with the GT4RS is the lack of proper wishbone front suspension, meaning it can't actually carry the power of the engine when turning in (as the GT3 is able to). And that isn't a cheap fix.

What an ordinary review.

Great car and review

Design is bad ass, and sets itself apart. Sorry man, bad ass look

Nice vid my friend 👍 I had a Mk5 R32 and yes what a sweet engine. . .currently have a 7.5R which for me is a keeper as it’s a manual, it’s a great car and lovely drive but sadly no match for that purring 3.2 litre V6 engine 👌😎

Good point about the size. All car makers have been on the path of incrementally bloating their cars and it is unacceptable.

“I don’t like the look” says the 400lb man with the bad beard and bad man bun lol

Do you think the RWD version would make any difference in your final opinion?

Oh really? It's the biggest SUV Lexus sells? So the GX and the LX isn't made by Lexus?

Did you want them to place 3 buckets in the back as well 🤦🏾‍♂️

I think it’s a beautiful car.

i think it's the best looking BMW in their line-up

The only thing I’ve appreciated in this video is your T-shirt 😂

Just a fast ugly car .

I own one of the last 2021 m240s made and would have gone with the 2024 but it is UGLY BOX. Also the new M2s look like crap too.

The rear look nice just the headlights and square front lets it down.

For those of you that might never have driven a race car for real, they are both still ROAD cars, there is nothing Motorsport about them in truth. A race car would be horrible to drive on a public road. The GT cars are just sportier road cars, which comes with obvious downsides.

Subscribed , good comparison Paul , I already know some of the differences but it was really interesting not just the exhaust comparison but going through the idrive settings , keep it up

I don't understand why people have this ongoing problem with how the M2C exhaust sounds. I have an unmodified M2C and I think it sounds fantastic. The S engine note sounds more grown up than the N engines and B engines (I've owned both). To me, those engines sounded more 'commercial', and I found the pops and bangs on my 240 B58 annoying, and frankly childish. I can see the appeal to a 25 year old lad, but if you're in your 40s and beyond, do you really want to drive through your local town with pops and farts coming out your exhaust? I know I don't. Out of the box, the M2C is an amazing car in just about every way, and I'm absolutely delighted to have one. It is absolutely thrilling! I say leave it in its original glory and enjoy the drive.

I bought my m2 last week, the only thing i dont like is the small ass tank it has lol. 52L everything else is Ballin on that car. Its a monster. It is my daily driver so the gas station knows me a lot better lol

I'm interested to know if you regret selling your F87 M2 Competition. I used to have the F Series M240i, but always wanted the M2C. I was so looking forward to the new G series but was utterly disappointed when it came out. When I was in a position to get another BM, the choice was between the F87 Comp, and the new M240, and for me it was a no brainer. After the release of the G Series, the F Series became more desirable than ever - the last M car that was highly regarded as the spiritual successor to the E46 M3 (which I always wanted but never got to own), the last M car with the quintessential twin halos, round dials with needles, and classic BMW good looks. For these reasons alone I believe the M2C will quickly enter classic car territory because we now know those days are gone and won't be coming back. And I hear the next M2 will be a hybrid. The one after that no doubt fully electric. I looked for an M2C for a long time, several times a day and when I found a 1 owner with only 7,500 miles, I couldn't have phoned the dealership faster. It had only come in the day before - the photos hadn't even been taken to upload to the BMW Appoved Used website. I paid the deposit, viewed it 2 days later, and the following weekend I was driving it home. What a feeling. That model made perfect sense to me. Truly last of an era, low milage, beautiful looking and amazing performance. It's my garaged weekend toy and I love nothing better than going out on a lovely dry day on my favourite roads. After a session in that car I feel like I've had mind blowing sex and need a cigarette afterwards lol. And being a weekend toy is perfect - I honestly think it would be bad for my health to experience that performance every day, it really raises the heart rate and takes my breath away. What a car.

Машина класс хочу такую очень хочу

luke is annoying

I get a strong Turkish vibe from you. That thick accent, face, gestures, mimics. 57% Turkish. 😎

Deserves a like

I've had my 240 xdrive for 2 years now and love everything about it. Best pure driving car I've ever had. The great thing about it is the engineers made it so it has a rear-wheel-drive feel, with all-wheel drive. Her rear end will come out under hard cornering just like a rear-wheel car does. I've actually seen videos of people drifting them.

It was more bad ass than I expected.

The only reasons you gave is that the Macan has more grip and is higher. That might actually make for a more fun experience. Many people say so.

The M240i is not an AWD only car as you stated, as I own a 2023 RWD and it is absolutely fantastic. I have had a 2014 BMW M235i RWD for many years and I will say the 2023 is not quite the go-kart handling feel of the 2014 but it has other advantages that make up for it. As far as looks, very subjective. My Brooklyn Gray gets a lot of attention and waves almost every time I have it out. This car looks absolutely amazing coming down the road from the perspective of the oncoming traffic on the other side. A strong and powerful wedge look, like an anvil. I recently got rid of the plain Jane factory exhaust and installed a Quad tip axle back Dinan exhaust. Absolutely incredible sound and look.
