I’VE BOUGHT A BMW M240i!

[@itsjoel]

Really hope you guys like the car! So happy I’ve finally been able to make this happen.

[@mistreku]

Brilliant choice, it was the next logical step from the Z3!

[@danieldefries577]

Yes great choice and a good spec, would love one of these myself. Great stuff, looking forward to.the content with this!

[@jamesmccartermail]

Beautiful choice Joel, love the spec and colour combination. Congratulations, looking forward to lots of excellent future content from you as usual!

[@simodthebod4256]

Great choice. Always fancied one of these in M Performance guise. Love the spec - ideal would add sunroof and adaptive suspension too but they are like gold dust! Those bronze wheels look awesome against the paintwork - don’t change them. Think some M Performance side sill stickers would finish it off nicely. Looking forward to future videos! 👍🏽

[@jonjacobs1956]

Did almost exactly the same Z4 to M140i. You need to map this Joel be interested in your way forward with this one

[@jimmy92goodwin]

It's honestly the best looking M235/M240i I've ever seen. It looks so perfect, it'll be hard to improve! Love it mate,well done!

[@itsjoel]

Definitely the best spec I’d seen in months of looking!

[@carl9184]

Really enjoyed my 240i, that B58 engine and that ZF gearbox work perfectly and it flys

[@clubsportf56s48]

Got mine 1 week ago, from 07-'19. Same colour as your's. Great car. Only need's a bit of a stance look and a proper exhaust. Can't wait to start modifying. Happy to see another m240i owner that know's what he wants. Greetings from Belgium

[@itsjoel]

Fantastic!

[@Pyleautocentre]

Just found your channel as I am picking up this car on the weekend also from Liverpool and also with 27,000 in full black with red leather and all the optional extras. Got wireless charging but, not the heated steering wheel. Your videos have been great information and help for me buying mine

[@itsjoel]

Glad you’ve found these useful mate

[@Pyleautocentre]

@@itsjoel just seen you sold it!! Haha if you want one back for a video hit me up - Instagram @ward.Rhys

[@blademanx]

Fair play, straight into it. No messing about. None of this see you next video stuff.

[@crapcork]

Hi, Joel! My name is also Joel, and I also have a M240i. Have had it for four years now (2017 model) and never tire of driving it. Mine has a Dinan Stage 1 tune, CAI and midpipe. It hauls ass! You made a fine choice - I'll be owning mine for a very, very long time as I think it's one of the greatest performance bargains, for what you're getting, in the market now. Cheers, mate!

[@itsjoel]

Awesome, thanks for watching!

[@jonjacobs1956]

Did almost exactly the same, Z4 to an M140i, no regrets here

[@RaulMarincas]

congrats Joel! you inspired me to buy a Z4 e85 3.0 , had it for 1.5 years, sold it and traded my daily, a Mazda CX-3 for a 540i G30. What can I say, this engine is amazing and you always find excuses to use the car!

[@itsjoel]

Thanks so much Raul

[@johnparry4861]

Having just watched Ben Rayne's latest post, him selling his M3, for just a split second I thought that might be the new car ! The M240i looks fab and just the spec you wanted, so congratulations. Looking forward to the future content.

[@itsjoel]

I did offer to buy his car, but he didn’t like my offer 😂

[@andydomanski2876]

A week ago when you asked us to suggest what your new car might be I guessed it would be one of these. Well either this or a classic Reliant Robin, but I think that maybe the mighty 850cc three wheeler was probably too much for you to handle so you went for the M240i. Good choice, enjoy! 👍

[@itsjoel]

Great guess and glad you like it!

[@TheRealToybox]

I have Z4, Z4 coupe content on my channel. and a N54 335 build coming soon

[@VankoDeepHouse]

Hi Joel. Congrats on the purchase and I think this car suits you very much! My personal opinion regarding the wheels is that they are the right ones! The colour combination with the body and the look of the car go well. Can't wait to see the first mods on it :) Enjoy the bimmer buddy!

[@itsjoel]

Thanks so much buddy!

[@stephenlozano2816]

Swap out that silver interior trim with the M Performance Carbon Fiber and Alcantara trim package. Don’t forget the steering wheel trim piece, the gear shift and surround piece and the e brake. 👍🏼

[@1977JohnBoy]

every time i watch these vids its some kid owning one, back in my day my mates strived to get an xr2i! but i think insurance companies actually said NO back then too lol

[@mineralgrey8332]

I also have a 17 M240i🔥🔥🔥 Mineral Grey I’m trying to save up for a chape daily, and garage keep mine and then do a couple things to it.

[@GreatBrittenK]

How reliable is it?

[@nicholastrowler4785]

Great choice Joel. Had one myself in white pal and u will not be disappointed. 👍🏻👌

[@itsjoel]

Cheers mate

[@cameronpike465]

It's ok but it's not a z4

[@itsjoel]

I still have the Z4 too :)

[@matthewcoupeofficial]

The content got me thinking an E92 M3 was on the cards

[@Debosaur]

Welcome to the m240/b58 club sir! 😎

[@snellerejelle1067]

Now Joel finally has his cupholder😂

[@hampshirephoto]

Congrats mate!! Let the mods commence 💯🤩

[@itsjoel]

Indeed

[@TheHesK9]

Great car! 😍 I just bought a M140i last week! Absolutely love it

[@itsjoel]

Awesome!

[@TheHesK9]

@@itsjoel it is! Perfect car. Absolutely rapid when you want it to be, and still comfortable and economical when you need it to be

[@haldymowski427]

Enjoy Joel. Love my 2020 M240i!

[@itsjoel]

Thank you!

[@silverback2880]

Very nice motor Joel. Wishing you many many miles of driving pleasure. Have fun mate!

[@itsjoel]

Thanks so much

[@E92jamesy]

100% my spec i would personally choose also! Looks great!! 👍🏼

[@phillipchandler8862]

Nice car Joel. Well done. Think a trip to see Mike at Motec would be good for some lowering springs, wheel spacers and Remus exhaust. Wheels may have to go.

[@itsjoel]

I’ll be paying him a visit very soon

[@bassvibez846]

Decent choice, grey colour combo on the wheels and body work! Do miss that z4 crackle and pop.

[@itsjoel]

You’ll be seeing more of the Z4 don’t worry, and soon the m240i will be sounding great

[@XclusiveAaron]

You're right about the electric seats, my 330ci has it and pretty much all do. So when looking for a 235i I wanted the electric seats still and it's very difficult to find

[@itsjoel]

It’s mad isn’t it, over time they’ve cheaped out on standard options

[@tyrond123]

Lovely car mate. I knew when you reviewed that black 240i that you'd end up getting one. I bought an m235i just over a month ago and I'm still grinning. Yours is a nice colour and awesome spec. Hope you keep it for a while. Great channel and awesome vids mate. .. That nurburgring vid with the car on fire at the end was epic. Pure emotion and adrenaline...for what it's worth... you gained a new subscriber 👍

[@itsjoel]

Thanks so much!

[@andyday60]

Nice buy Joel!! Great spec, lovely colour combo. Love the wheels!

[@itsjoel]

Cheers mate!

[@MrRoyck10]

Fantastic colour and spec, ideal modern car for a young man like you. You can’t go wrong with that boasted power, the Z4 is sports car with NA and completely different to this performance Coupe for a more contemporary drive. Folks Joel’s is keeping the Z4 and yes he knows that M240i is not a Z4😜 Enjoy in good health!

[@rexfloyd2109]

Get a aftermarket exhaust my suggestion is active exhaust. This thing really opens up and sounds amazing with it. I have a 2019 m240i x drive. Mines got a financial exhaust system on it. Amazing daily

[@stefansago]

Very nice, Joel! Congratulations buddy!

[@itsjoel]

Thank you mate!

[@wbtbwb1]

I have a alpine white 2017 m240i vrsf charge pipe AP short ram intake. You have a beautiful spec. Congratulations

[@MalcolmXpat]

Crazy amount of horsepower in modern cars. back in the 90's, 160bhp was classed as a hot hatch. in the 2000's it was 200 bhp. now its madness. I would lose my license :) . Nice car mate.

[@itsjoel]

It’s definitely a licence loser, I’ll have to be careful!

[@mistreku]

Only thing that I don't agree with, it's the electric seats. This is more of a sports car rather than a luxury one. I think I would go for manual seats and spare a 50-60 kg (i think?) off the weight of the car. I mean, I'm not adjusting my seats every day. And I reckon the most expensive thing to do to a car, is to make it lighter.

[@itsjoel]

Surely they’re not that heavy!? Haha but good point

[@wxltershd3232]

The wheels look mint. Don't change them

[@vintagewoodshop2978]

Very nice! I just picked up a 2007 Z4 3.0i 6 speed with a manual roof ;) Keep up the nice work, I enjoy your channel immensely.

[@itsjoel]

Thanks so much, I hope you’re enjoying the Z4

[@PJ_6912]

Great spec Joel, nice one congrats 👍

[@itsjoel]

Thanks so much!

[@PJ_6912]

It's Joel you just need the V10 M6 now to complete the perfect trio 😊

[@garyhewitt8632]

Nice car Joel, love the spec and the red leather oozes class. Delighted to hear you're holding onto the Zed - hope it stil gets a run out on the channel every so often, but it'll be interesting to hear how you get on with the M240i. Enjoy! ;)

[@itsjoel]

Thanks buddy, more Z4 content to come too don’t worry!

[@HighPeakAutos]

Well done pal! Great spec btw - that's just how I would spec it

[@itsjoel]

Cheers mate! Hopefully you can have a go in it soon!

[@ScottPC]

Go for a centrepipe resonator delete, that way you keep the valves in the back box esc...

[@imihussain1781]

Great work Joel, great evolution subscribed to you when you had 250 subscribers

[@itsjoel]

Thanks so much for supporting the channel

[@Buck3366]

It’s possibly my next daily myself or an S3 saloon after a GTI PP. The engine has it in the bag for me for the sound alone. Thanks for the review it’s been helpful.

[@DanteDAndreaTrebleMonkeyStudio]

Nice, my neighbor has one and gets my attention every time he drives past, even though I’m in a black e85

[@KidFriz]

That’s the same thing that happened to me when I went to go test drive my m235i while trying to open the bonnet so embarrassing

[@mpc007]

Personally i'd pick adaptive suspension over electric seats especially if you dont plan on doing suspension mods

[@jimrow9]

Excellent choice, and great spec. I love the interior colour and the wheels. I hope you enjoy the car and I’m looking forward to future videos featuring this car. Cheers

[@itsjoel]

Thank you Jim!

[@franklineno8616]

Great car mate,and nice colour choice too,get yourself a quicksilver exhaust and an airbox and top quality stage 2 remap,and you will surprise yourself, sadly the suspension will need upgrading which will include the diff,but hey,its only my suggestion,look forward to your interpretation, good luck mate....

[@rhysfox7736]

Love it! Got one myself, sure you will enjoy. XHP gearbox flash is a game changer

[@barryhugh9199]

I have one and after owning ford escort cosworth r/s escorts st focuses and r/s focus I changed to bmw to give me a buzz starting low 335i m sport tried m3 and m5 also Audi rs5 but one day walked into bmw dealership as I saw a new m240i as I walked out the door speaking about m 3 a sales woman who was passing said don’t bother that m240i is quicker all round It was I bought it never looked back had 5 years now and still pissing m3 drivers off its quick but keep good tyres on it. Pilot SUPER spot

[@jonathancollard3710]

Well done chap... nice looking car and the right spec. I got the wife a new convertible in March and same spec. So only just onto 1200 miles with Covid lock downs 🤨. Will be following your adventures and thanks for tip on RBM in Hook as that’s 25 mins from me. Personally I think the M2/M240 is the spiritual successor to the original M3 in both size and performance

[@itsjoel]

Thanks so much. RBM are great 👍🏻

[@HollowmanVIII]

Looks a nice example! Definitely needs the MP Diffuser though. I fitted one on my 235i yesterday and it makes a massive difference.

[@bartvdbvdb]

IMHO Go black wheels and red break calipers . Congrats on the great car and many safe miles .

[@itsjoel]

Thanks! They’re Bola B11s in Matte Bronze

[@sniperBOBAH]

Hey Joel, congratulations! M240i is great value for money and a perfect daily. I went with used Boxster S 981 as daily after driving M2C that I could get new for the same money. Still keeping my Z4 :-)

[@bimmer_ed]

No adaptive suspension? That's would be one of the most important option I would be looking for on a M240i

[@ashw8890]

Adaptive is shit, got rid of mine and added bilsteins b12 kit now it's I'mproved the car massively

Good choice, I prefer the m240 over the m140 as I've always been a big fan of coupés. The B58 is a good engine too, lots of potential, same engine as the GR Supra 👌🏻

[@lolo081286]

Could you tell us what is the exact model of your wheels? Do you know their Weight? And the dimensions ? Michelin ps4 are adaptable on it?

[@richardhagenbuch2085]

Nice spec! Your electric seats have lumbar support (4-way switch) which can make your lower back hurt after a while as your back will not be used to it. Play around with it and you will get used to it

[@itsjoel]

Cheers Richard

[@BOSKILLZX]

Amazing spec although having driven an m140i with adaptive, I had to get one with adaptive with mine. Look forward to mods in the future, subbed🤝

Thanks for the subscription buddy. Don’t know how I didn’t realise, but I’ve since found out that my car does indeed have the adaptive option!
