I've owned this for a year now its an amazing car, comfort, performace I'd say it's a great balance of not owning a M car. Only thing its a very boaty ride it needs to be lowered for better ride and handling.

I'm torn between a raw 2015 F82 M4 with DCT and a G82 M240i. The main reason is that the latter is still under warranty and it's essentially a 2-year-old car versus a 10-year-old one.

The condensation in the headlight must be a thing with some of these cars. I was talking to a woman who had just traded hers in at BMW and she'd had one replaced on warranty for the same issue.

It’s not the LCI yet. Just an update of the iDrive system.

I am actually at a crossroads..i have a F82..have a chance to get a Comp..but the 2023 M240 is also an intriguing prospect. The M240 will have 3 years worth of Bmw motorplan..the F82 Comp..only 1 year left. Is the G42 m240 that far off from a F82? I cant afford a G82..those prices are just nuts. The 23 G42 is similarly priced and lower mileage.

I had a F82 Competition for 7 years. Now I'm shopping for M240i. Main reason being for cutting lanes in traffic and accelerating on uneven pavement.

F82 M4 or this if you are not worried about comfort? And why? Thanks.

Hands down F82 M4 all day long. It's a real M Car and out of the box it's set up really well. This M240i is a great car and when specced right. Thing is with most all wheel drive cars they are easy to drive. Get in and drive and give you a false sense of security until things go wrong and you break the laws of physics and the xdrive is like "sorry mate I tried my best". F82/F80 are cars that actually need a bit of driving skill and the more you learn them the more they reward you with driving pleasure.

@DownShiftThrottle very well put 👏 love the part where you said "sorry mate, I tried my best" 😅 an M car is where it's at for a drivers car. If your building a straight line drag car then an x drive b58 is hard to beat.

Fake M cars i get it, they do cost less for sure. And maybe too you don't want something so beefy. I put in an order for an m2 and my tesy drive was in the city and I would probably never buy an M car for that amount of traffic, it was just no fun to be honest. So I absolutely understand these models
@DownShiftThrottle6 ай бұрын
I totally agree. you cannot enjoy a M car in traffic. That the issue I have lol most cars around the city are actually faster than a M car. This is where you can enjoy the M240i

@idk7541: ‘fake M cars’…I don’t think BMW M makes anything fake. You probably meant M light, but you’re completely missing the point. BMW M GmbH, has every right to designate the M badge, where they see fit, as they manufacture performance cars, which the M240i is. Here in Germany, the M240i also has its own racing series. This ridiculous ‘fake’ trash, is a result of pissed ‘real M owners’🥱, being upset at the perceived slight against them, in the extremely close performance values of the M240i/M2. This is deliberate though, as BMW M, also gives those who want a performance car, but also want the added value of xdrive (for snowy conditions like I have), and a daily driver with incredible performance. I couldn’t drive an M2 here in winter if I tried, it’s a safety liability, I need the xdrive. But, I’ll also leave you in your M2 standing in a launch, from 0-60, as you know, I have better traction on the rear axle. So leave the fake mate, both M cars have a lot to offer; at the end of the day, we’re driving a BMW.

A brand new M4 costs well over £100k and an almost identical spec M240 xdrive costs £55k. The M4 isn’t twice the car…nowhere near so there’s your answer in a nutshell.

g42 is a great car for stoplight warriors and people that want to think they're good drivers with no actual effort or skill. i think it's an amazing car for wannabe enthusiasts, but not actual enthusiasts? if that makes sense haha. i sold mine and it's a great car, but i dont think it is special

I don’t believe you ever owned a G42 if I’m honest. If you did you must be an utter moron buying a £40k plus car that “is as boring as shit to drive” as you so eloquently put it. Tw if you think it’s just its take off speed that is all that’s good about the car then that says more about your level of skills behind the wheel than the car. Nearly all motoring journalists say the car is great but I guess they’re all wrong. I’ll leave you to tell them all 🤣🤣🏴
