In america ? maybe. On ROW, there's maybe pure driver car, TBC. I Just brought a new car and it's with manual transmission (and I say manual transmission) and that could be the last one since they are endangered unless I buy a used car. thanks for the review and for that sound, sheesh !!!!

On another note the format these videos are edited are something I’ve never seen before it’s amazing I’m glad I found this channel I enjoy getting new information an all these cars it’s makes my day to day life much better driving spotting cars I’ve seen a straightpipes review about on my way to work is a good excitement. I appreciate these uploads who else can agree?

Hi guys from Australia, great review👌🏼 I purchased a new M240i auto for my wife last year ($89k AUD) We both love this car (but I only drive it on a 6km round trip to refuel it every 2 weeks) The driving dynamics, the beautiful 3.0lt engine, and the silky smooth ZF transmission of this car, is superb. Sure, I could have robbed the bank and shelled out $127k AUD for an M2 Comp, but honestly, that type of beast would be wasted on my wife (she’s a very conservative driver, and her car never goes beyond the “eco mode”😆) Anyway guys, I just wanted to concur with both your sentiments about this fantastic BMW M 240i.....keep up with your brilliant car reviews!

Love my M240i convertible, almost as much as my Boxster S. Incidentally, way back in the day, it was 3 on the tree, then 4 on the floor or stick shift. Manual shift is a more inclusive general term. My M240i steering is very tight in all driving modes; your car probably has a problem. Keep up the good work. You and Nick Murray are my favorites.

Guyes if you want to improve steering feel and weighting, try out the Birds BMW B1 kit. Also get the front wheel spacers and firmer sway bars kit. They revise the suspension geometry, spring, damper rates and roll bar stiffness. The effect is a bit more weight and friction into the steering and lots of steering feedback restored. The dead floaty feel you mentioned in the video is gone. Also better body control, comfort bump absorption, agility response, much more traction and braking stability from the magical Quaife limited slip diff. They also do a quick shifter for 6spd manuals. Its only a few grand and transforms the car into an M2 rival. I actually prefer it because its an ideal sleeper car not attracting much attention.

Also who the heck only gets a small from Tim's, get a medium and it fits perfect. During the summer it's always DCS off, the only way to fly.

Just a quick update, the floaty steering is caused by the run flats. Either choose the factory non runflat option or replace them ASAP. It's a pretty normal BMW thing, they seem to do a bit better on the Mini's, but the change is still pretty dramatic.

Man, I commented on your 440i video that I have a GC on order and this video is making me sad to give up my Estoril Blue 2016 6MT RWD M235i, even though it lacks an M Performance knee pad. On a side note, the M235i I have does not have auto-rev matching, I believe that debuted on the M240i. Also, I was super interested to hear the B58 with a manual has no lag as my N55 does lag a tiny bit down low. You guys totally captured the spirit of this car, amazing reviews as always - from a fellow Canadian in Vancouver BC.

1:40 good news guys, small BMW M manual uptake is 50%+ in NA. The M2 itself did 52% manual transmissions. BMW M is keeping them for now! Also I think BMW purposefully ganked the steering because the M2 steering is lovely. Assume it is just programming.

Great review, guys and the "everything we do is in Canadian" bit at the end had me laughing out loud. I think the M240i is a great car but I am afraid that if I were to buy one I would always have some remorse that I didn't pony up for the full on M2. Still, not much to complain about with the M240i!

I looked at a 2 series when I was car shopping. Ended up getting an R because a fairly basic 2 (rwd, stick, minimal options) was $36k (USA). I drove a 230i and it was nice, but I knew I would want more power. M240i started at around $43k with zero options. So, for me the R was better value because for 2017 there were no options except for stick or DSG. So, 40k later I had my stick R and I'm happy, though I totally want a used 228i convertible or an ND Miata in a few years to add to the fleet...

Replacing the rear diff on these sucks the way the diff needs to tilt and move down and around to get the axles out is a poor design.

I love how you guys embrace the fact that you're (we're) Canadian. Unlike a certain other Ontario-based youtube channel who pretends/confuses people into thinking they're American in order to get more views. Keep up the great work!

M235i was available with an optional LSD. And I believe that carried on to the M240i. Not saying that it applied to this particular example. If I was to get one that would be the only option I'd really want.

I went from a 135is to an M240i and while I dearly miss the 135’s hydraulic steering, I don’t mind the steering of the 240. It’s accurate and the car feels precise, just less feel-some. Seems like only McLaren is sticking to hydraulic steering.

I call it a manual. I have a m235i. The way I fixed the steering feel in the thing was installing a set of KW coilovers. Really woke up the steering feel and all that numbness or no on center feel is completely eliminated.
