2022 BMW M240i After 1 Year Of Ownership

[@mgnoodle2589]

In the UK here. I got mine 6 months old that was owned by the dealership. Brooklyn Grey, adaptive suspension, tech pack, hardon Kardon sound system and had a carbon spoiler and splitter on it. Registered in March 22. It’s got 14500 miles on now I love it. Best car I’ve owned.

[@f3r178]

Although its not as pretty on the outside as the previous m240i, the interior is night and day. Such high quality and luxurious feel on everything and the idrive system is just great.

[@britishagent]

Darker colours suit this car best

[@PerformanceOnWheels]

Agree 100 percent!!

[@zuxzux]

The white looks a lot better with the shadowline package.

[@Jacob-xd3ko]

Yep. Looking at ordering one soon and the first time I saw this in white those front intake areas that rise up on each side of the bumper turned me off to white or red 😭

[@litespeed65]

Don’t buy a 2 door coupe and complain about rear seat room.

[@edwardmartinez4507]

I totally agree with the paint. I think you had a valid point. Mexico factories painting the cars could have cut corners in paint layers. I believe any out sourcing will do the very least if they can get away with it.

[@thefactor6909]

Great One year ownership review! I’ve got a full spec BG M240i I think the Sticker was about 60,000. I’ve had it since last June and have 7500 miles with no issues with one exception one time my cameras wouldn’t work and it just stated camera malfunction I believe . But by the time I got home it corrected itself. My first BMW and definitely won’t be my last . I feel like I’m still on the honeymoon with this car and never experienced that before going on a year . Such a well balanced all around car . It scratched that itch for me with respectable power topped with comfort and great fuel economy. The xDrive is incredible and handles like a dream . Love the active suspension to set the mood . My only problem is it’s hard to keep my finger off the sport plus button lol. I think my car might of come with the already upgraded software. My battery charger works and it’s got the burbles you talk about on down shifts and the booffff up shifts lol sounds awesome stock a long with the m240i instrument cluster badge. I’m still fighting the temptation to start mods but it’s so good and once I start I know it will be hard to stop from my previous cars . So far it’s unmolested with only m valve stem caps and door locking pins . Pretty proud of my self but I owe part of the celebration to BMW for how satisfying this car is stock !!

I took delivery of my new 2022 m240i in april 2022 and to date have 31k miles......have had no issues whatsoever apart from having to top of coolant twice

[@thomasmitchell6921]

13 months on a 2023 model No issues except I do not like the ventilation controls on the iDrive 8 system screen

[@Adam-y3w5o]

11:25 it's called Pop Corn sound my friend.

[@mgnoodle2589]

How does the red leather hold up over time? When I’ve cars with white leather it seems to crack and go nasty quite quickly

[@PerformanceOnWheels]

I believe it really has to do with maintenance. Most leather that is color has issues from lack of cleaning and conditioning

[@isamu982]

Nice review! Also dont fret about not having the wireless charging since your phone will get scorching hot and eventually turn off anyways lol. The wired charging is far superior in my opinion.

[@mgnoodle2589]

Is that on an iPhone or any phone? I use iPhone 14 and you could cook an egg on it if you wireless charge whilst steaming music from it? Not sure if it’s an iPhone problem or the wireless pad in the car?

[@afsd9873]

​@@mgnoodle2589I have an Android and same issue. Wireless charging pad is super slow and phone gets incredibly hot

[@yelvtuji2348]

How could you secure your front license plate? Does it impact your front sensors?

[@PerformanceOnWheels]

No sensors impacted. There was a slight annoying vibration when radio was off. It is just a bracket that screws into tow hook location.

[@robertm3730]

Did you not notice how lagging the electronic steering is compared to other vehicles?

[@PerformanceOnWheels]

Electronic steering is the new norm.... BMW is great compared to other brands. I would love to go back to hydraulic steering.

[@mwhite7712]

Can't you get the DME sent off to get it unlocked? I'm pretty sure FEMTO unlocks them.

[@MitchM240]

I feel so bad for people living in states that require a front plate. It looks like shit. As someone still waiting to get my M240. I appreciate videos like this. BTW i’s not a new factory in Mexico. I have a 2020 M340 and it was built there. I think they figured out how to use the paint gun by now. I agree 100%, this car isn’t the “toy” car but it is the best daily driver. I plan on putting a car seat in the back seat. It’s fine for that, but I wouldn’t want to sit there as an adult.

[@mgnoodle2589]

Is there a way to find out where your car was built?

[@wingedhussar5528]

It says right on the window sticker. Also all bmw vins that start with a 3 are made in Mexico

[@wingedhussar5528]

Oh and I'm in NJ. Owned BMWs since 07 and never had a front plate and had no issues

[@xabraxasx]

texas requires front plates but doesnt enforce it

[@PatriotHere]

Def looks like shit with front plate

[@hassanmourad5052]

Thanks for the informative video I would like to know your opinion about getting m240 or m440 if I don’t care about rear seats

[@MitchM240]

This is a joke right? You are trolling now? Or is this just a bot?

[@MitchM240]

You are just being a troll now right? You have now asked the same question on EVERY single M240 video on KZbin. Congratulations! How about you put your big boy pants on and make a decision for yourself rather than asking random strangers the same question OVER AND OVER AGAIN

[@PerformanceOnWheels]

M240 all day if you want the full driving dynamic experience. M440 if you want more room.

[@jackrussell8380]

Were you racing in Mexico?

[@MaartenOosterbaan]

pfff still have to pay 73k in usd for a year old 5200 mile one...

[@PerformanceOnWheels]

Ouch!! What's up with that?

[@MaartenOosterbaan]

@@PerformanceOnWheels living in probably the 5th most expensive country to own a car (the Netherlands) and it's bloody next to the country that 'makes' the bloody car! Like for example (don't know it for every car but this one is such a big difference)...new a normal 5.0 V8 Mustang costs 60k in Germany...here it's 148k.....only difference is the taxes. Which are: base price + tax based on emissions and VAT over that whole...so tax on tax. Only countries that are worse (of which I do not know the exact order but #1 and #2 I do): Singapore, Norway, Denmark, Sweden then us.

[@xabraxasx]

living in a socialist country sucks

[@pomodorostudyclub]

@@MaartenOosterbaan M240 isn’t even sold in Norway, but the new M2 is over 120.000 USD there. I am so lucky to live in the US now…

[@MaartenOosterbaan]

learn what socialist means....@@xabraxasx

[@Silent_Witness699]

Why that Interieur Color?😮

[@PerformanceOnWheels]

Fantastic.

[@jhonnydrop7100]

Those new sounds you are hearing post update (on shifts and the burbles) are unfortunately all fake. Look around for the “iconic sounds” setting or just say “hey BMW Iconic sounds” and turn it off. You will find that most of those sounds will disappear.

[@PerformanceOnWheels]

I drove the car for most of the year with the artifical sound off. It was turned back on during the software update. It was pretty obvious the piped attempt that is. I could see that some folks would think that it is adding to the excitement or experience.

[@jhonnydrop7100]

@@PerformanceOnWheels the problem with turning off the artificial sounds is that it also closes the exhaust valves, making the real sounds less as well. Easy enough to see and hear for yourself by having the car parked in sport mode. Turning on the iconic sounds will oven the exhaust valves, turning it off will close them. Not sure why BMW did it this way though.

[@scott1hn]

3:58 Don't blaming a person working in a car plant in Mexico for where you choose to dive your car. Rock chips are common. That's why there's a term for rocks chipping your paint. 🤡

[@PerformanceOnWheels]

Oh so the 30 other cars we have/ had that we drive in the exact same climate that don’t get nearly as many rock chips must be just lucky 🍀
