I've bought a BMW M240i (G42). Here's why you SHOULDN'T!

[@Michael-hd2gq]

first "why u shouldn't buy" "it does not have the typical bmw looks" literally the only bmw keeping a small kidney grill, literally the only one keeping a bmw look and considered a fan tribute after the series 1/3/4 changes

[@TunedIntoCars]

It just doesn't. It's boxy, the front is very busy, the headlights are just single, not double, the taillights are not the classic BMW shape. It's tall... The current 3 series is the only BMW that gets close to the classic looks

[@mikagsd]

Just bought a used 2023 M240i xdrive with 3,000 miles in Melbourne Red with every option on it including Shadowline, adaptive suspension. Test drove an M2 and beat the hell out of me. Drove this and it is night & day. For me, it’s the perfect daily that gives a great ride and can provide a ton of fun when I want to get on the gas. I love having AWD with the rain we get in the southeast and sometimes the snow in the upper part of the state I live in near the BMW factory here in SC.

This guy doesn't know what he's talking about and your comment ^^ is the general consensus I've heard from the people who drive this car daily. I just don't know what he's talking about...

[@infidel900rr]

So you bought an AWD, auto trans, modern BMW, and now you're complaining about it's looks, and the fact that it's not a "true" sports car - that seems silly. 👎 These are great daily drivers for folks who want power and luxury with all weather performance.

[@TunedIntoCars]

Honestly, the state of KZbin at the moment is unbelievably bad. The video is about what YOU SHOULDN'T EXPECT when buying a car like this. I've got a lot of questions about how this car compares to my previous M2, so I've made this video telling people not to expect this to be comparable. It's not that deep, honestly. You just need to listen to words and understand them.

I’ve just taken delivery of my new M240. Same spec as yours but no sunroof or adaptive cruise control in thundernight. List was £53k and I got it for just over £47k. BMW were also giving £2500 finance deposit contribution. I think that it’s a great deal of car for the money.

[@SlavicPridee]

So I own a m240i in RWD while my dad owns a AWD one. All the points you made are valid for the AWD, but with the RWD the understeer is gone, the rear tires are wider, car sits just slightly lower, feels way tighter on corners and most importantly it is what a BMW should feel like. Pure fun. The back end is easy to slide out. You can do burnout for days. I mean the car is an absolute blast. Yes the ZF dulls the fun just a little but I do think that if you live in a place where you don’t need AWD and don’t want to spend the extra 20k on a m2 then the RWD version of the m240 is the car you want.

I will sometimes drive a very long distance and also might stuck in traffic from time to time, automatic transmission doesn't tire me.

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.

The B58 ZF8 speed engine/transmission combo is absolutely excellent. I DO appreciated the M Adaptive Suspension in our x3 M40i and suspect that feature would also benefit the M240i's handling.

I'd have to respectfully disagree. I love my 2023 M240i. I think it's the best looking BMW currently and I get many, many people mentioning it to me. Mine is Brooklyn Grey with black interior. The technology is great on this car and if you want to go back to analog days, that's great but the information presented is far superior and more plentiful than the old speedo - tach days. This car is a rocket (so I could care less about how much it weighs) that handles really well, too. My last one was a stick and I loved it but this 8-speed tranny shifts far faster than I can, and more accurately. To each their own but as soon as I saw this car, and what it could do for the price, I bought one and haven't looked back since.

[@TunedIntoCars]

You can disagree, of course, but it's pretty solid advice. I have spoken to people who didn't buy this car specifically because of the new infotainment screen and how they integrated most functionalities in it. Same goes for the handling. It's a great car overall, no doubt about it, but if handling is your priority you will most likely want to buy the M2. The M240i is more of a grand tourer car. A very good one I might add

[@Helifax19]

Hmm.. So.. I guess I will keep my F22(July 2019 - last batch) "M" 230i (B48) a bit longer ;)) (just for the fact that I have analogue gauges AND a physical handbrake Oo). For me the biggest drawback on the newer M240i was the huge screen that is for everything - I want needles on round "clocks" and RWD only not this all wheel thing. But it sounds it's not even that fun to drive. The F22 230i is not a true M car and I know that, but man I still have a lot of fun with it as it's RWD and pretty light :) I hoped I the new M240i would be even better ... PS: The lack of physical buttons for climate control is also a big minus, the radio buttons and hell even the Old school CD player ;)) I still have older CDs with Music that I listen to for nostalgia moments while being stuck on a motorway;)

I tried both models but unfortunately the 2 liter diesel. In my deep of my heart i like the M440 coupe more because of its looks and more premium and spacious feel inside. I like the bigger doors and the fact that its not looking like a lego car (the m240 is too high). But now is the real quiestion, the driving feeling. I see everywhere that everyone gives more credit to the M240 regarding the performance of the car and how it feels in corners, but i see that you are not so pleased with it. I dont really know what to pick because i'm kind of guy who likes to push the car and to feel everything in the car.

Imo BMW's have been ugly beginning with the E46, this is the first newer one I actually like the styling of, so much so Im deciding between an m240i or an m2 now, xdrive is very tempting to me but the dude wont let me push it in test drives to see how well it plays so Im still undecided lol.....

F87 is top 3 BMW design and came much later than the e46.

@@sinenomine4540 Why do you feel the need to tell me E46 is an older design I obviously know and that was my point, bmws have been ugly since then, also saying top 3 design is ridiculous what people like is subjective their is no absolute only opinion.

A lot of KZbinrs in the states that have done reviews on the M230 and the M240 picked the M230. They said that the M230 feels more like a drivers car the handling the steering just an overall better road handling car . And they said the car has plenty of horsepower I'm going to drive both cars next year when my lease is done on my car and see if there right

[@TunedIntoCars]

It's a good thing you don't listen to KZbinrs. You should definitely drive both cars back to back and pick the one you like. It's your money, at the end of the day. Also, those youtubers should know that an M230 doesn't exist in BMW's lineup

[@sandyvalentin3072]

@@TunedIntoCars I stand corrected the 230 with the M package

[@neillgowans4350]

The 6 cylinder engine is absolutely vital to fully enjoying this 2 series. I’ve driven them all. The 4 cylinder cars have no emotion. During 90% of driving the M2 isn’t worth it except for tracking. Looks wise lower it and add a rear spoiler and the thing is transformed in to a performance car. The 0-100kph is out of the world. It is a traffic light super 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.

[@ΧρήστοςΔενέχεισημασία]

Don't agree with your review. First and foremost, you said in the beginning that you were looking for a sports car. But BMWs were NEVER sports cars. BMW makes driver-focused premium sedans (and SUVs). BMWs are sporty, but are not sports cars. If you want a pure sports car, get a Porsche or a Ferrari. Or even a Supra. Even the pure M cars are not real, genuine sports cars, and never were. They are compromised in size, weight, and need for some kind of practicality and comfort. BMWs are meant to be luxurious sedans that you can drive sporty and have fun. They are not for ultimate performance and agility. So much of your criticism makes no sense. If you were expecting the M240i to behave like a Porsche Cayman you clearly didn't do your research prior to buying. Another mistake is that the M240i is AWD only, it is not, RWD versions are available in most markets and are mostly more fun. Third, the looks, i think the car looks fantastic and is one of the most good looking cars ever made. Especially in purple, and without the Msport additions, i actually prefer the base version's looks. More elegant. The M division always strives to make cars look too aggressive and tuned. As for the suspension, agreed that the base suspension is terrible for comfort, 19inch wheels + sport suspension in such a heavy car makes it really uncomfortable, adaptive suspension is mandatory in the m240i and m2. Seems to me what you wanted to really buy, was a 230i. The 230i is the sweet sport for the 2 coupe in my opinion. It is much lighter especially on the front, so much more fun to turn and easier to brake. You can get pretty much all the extras the M240i has on the 230i, minus the adaptive suspension. You don't lose much in acceleration or engine sound, but you gain a lot in handling. Plus it is cheaper so...

[@TunedIntoCars]

I think you need to listen more. I've not said the M240i is a 'pure' sports car. I simply said don't buy one, if you're looking for a sports car. Different, no? Other than that, feel free to disagree with me on anything. As with anyone talking about / reviewing cars, everything is very subjective. I also disagree with your 230i vs M240i comparisons. The latter is much faster than the 230i (both on paper and in real life), despite the extra weight and I think you do lose quite a lot in engine noise and overall drama. Not to mention, in Sweden they discounted the M240i so much that it was nearly the same price as a 230i. So for me it was a no-brainer to go for the M240i, especially that in the long run, it will hold its value better

[@TunedIntoCars]

My title reflects exactly what the video is about. I've bought the car and a lot of people would ask me how it compares to an M2 and with this video I'm basically telling them that if they're looking for something close to the M2, this ain't it. It's not that deep, honestly.
