BMW 2 Series Coupe M240i xDrive G42 | REVIEW on AUTOBAHN by AutoTopNL

I agree. Love the last gen 240i but the rear was underwhelming. This generation really gave the back a more interesting and aggressive look.

They can't fix it, since appearently the components are not available. That's just part of the problems I had so far.

[@evaristocorripio5434]

@@rmr5184 Wow thats a lot of problems! Don't think that Im hating on mercedes because Im not, but tbh its my third option between the german brands (Audi, Bmw, and Merc). The interiors while looking very cool are actually very cheaply made, just based on the thousands of videos of mercedes creaking interiors, the plastics move alot. But all of the things you mentioned are not even interior related! I but thats just my opinion, would take the S3 over the cla35, but the Merc is a litlle more engaging to drive. I found Audi interiors, while being more boring, design related, are very well put together.

[@rmr5184]

@@evaristocorripio5434 I've uploaded my first and only video on youtube a few weeks ago just about the creaking interior. You can have a look at it. I'vo owned cheap cars which had better built quality than mercedes! I've been so disappointed by this brand that I won't be buying Mercs anytime soon again. To be honest I never particularly liked the Audi A/S3 and the CLA shooting brake offered much better practicality with its huge boot. Anyway there is no doubt that the Audi interior is much better!

It’s a gift from BMW to BMW fans in general. I think at this point we can quit the “fanboys” moniker for ardent fans.

We do not have especially slippery winters with snow (AWD doesn’t matter), so I don’t see the case for this car compared to that. Fast AF though, I’ll give it that.

[@emmgee1745]

He's talking about the GPS speed which is supposed to be only 241 kph. You can see it in their Autobahn POV video from a couple of days ago. It does not deliver true 250 kph which is not only a shame but also somewhat fraudulent from BMW. They are doing this crap for quite some time now. Truth be told, it doesn't really matter outside Germany. But here it is a little bit embarrasing that you might be overtaken by something like a Golf Mk 8 GTD...
