I'm in the US & received my sapphire black M240i 3 weeks ago. The purists out there knock the design, but most of them would have a problem with a crooked pinky toe on a Victoria Secret model. The design is unorthodox, aggressive, forward thinking, eye-catching, and elegant all at the same time. Mechanically, it's a beautiful beast of engineering with gobs of power, spiderman-like grip, a phenomenal driving position, and excellent feedback. It's not perfect; yeah it's heavy, turning radius is subpar, brakes are ultra-sensitive, back seat is more like a suggestion, and I'm sure I'll find more as time goes on. However for what it is in my opinion, at this price point, it's a better choice than the new Z or the ToyoBimmer-Supra. You want a track car? Wait for the M2...for the rest of us, this is a perfect match.

We have the Thundernight, my wife calls it "Barney" and wants to get a custom tag saying that (but so far, everything she's come up with is already taken). Loved the looks from day 1, finding it somewhat updated retro from BMW's glory days. In fact, it's the only BMW design I do like. I'm not sure it's the purists who knock it, I've read what they write and watched the videos where they knock it, but I just don't see it. It's my all-time favorite car, it does so much well and has some practicality to it too, all while blasting bone stock 3.7 sec 0 - 60 according to Dragy. It likes to get a little loose in the backend in corners when you give some throttle, but the xDrive just instantly pulls it all together, it's so easy to drive fast. Unlike every other fast car I've owned, when I'm just driving around normally in comfort or eco, it's perfectly quiet, comfortable and as livable as a Camry. Will probably have this one for a while, I don't anticipate BMW will have a successor that is as good.

Beast of engineering? What a joke. More like a beast of mass appeal and modular manufacturing peppered with price gouging. Track car? 3900 pound M2 lol? Track car? Huh? The G80 M3 weighs 20 pounds more, what is the point? The M2's only redeeming factor is its lower price point. It's a stupid car built for stupid people. Fat, ugly, fake car, that drives like a video game. Fake brakes, fake engine noise, fake everything. It's a luxury barge with zero emotion and personality. There is nothing special about its engineering. It's just another luxury car....

I will receive my m240i S Drive with performance package around September and if it's like with the F22 the Sdrive will be 65kg lighter than the XDrive. I already ordered some Sloted disks, Endless mx72+ pads, Motul rbf660 brakefluid and some braided Brakelines as I'm taking it to the Ring for some Laps in my freetime. I think that should get rid of the long brake pedal to some extend. If KW hasn't released their Product then, I think some H&R spring should work in the meantime, they lower the car about 30mm and tend to be a bit stiffer then the OEM ones.

The Uk/Eu variant have slightly different named options and different seats too. I have a Brooklyn Grey G42 with the Pro/Tech packs and M Tech pack and adaptive suspension. Basically I ticked every option box except comfort. Compared to my previous M240 this is leaps and bounds above it. The published 374bhp is way off, some have been coming in at 400bhp. I’ve not experienced any brake fade or under steer when driving hard. Pity delivery times are bad at the moment and in conjunction with the redesigned interior a month after the car was released in the UK/EU, some dealerships are getting some grief. I prefer the look of the current interior to the new glass cockpit of the LCI/MK2 G42.

Can you please comment more on what you can do alignment - wise on the stock components to cure (some of) the understeer? I guess front camber is fixed. Front convergence can be reduced but from my experience this makes it somewhat unpleasant in normal driving (potential gains depend on how extreme is the factory setting). I found reducing the rear convergence is the most effective, but I'd really like to hear about your experience with that. I guess other people might find it useful too :)

Too bad Dinan doesn't have a EDC Shockware Tune for the G42 models yet, if I buy one in the future, it will be the first mod I do to hide the weight and improve steering feel. My 430i used to be a bit vague under load at moderate pace and as fun as it was stock, it's a big girl with some weight so the 15% stiffness increase and quicker adaptivity transformed the way the car drives, feels much more like a sports car than a sport luxury coupe.

With this car being about the same price and hp levels as a TTRS, what would you guys pick for nordschleife and trackdays etc? TTRS is a lot lighter, but being audi maybe more understeer? But then again you could probably get that out with alignment,tires, suspenions, maybe even swaybars etc. But you would have to do that on the 240i aswell. TTRS should be a bit more sportscar biased I would think and you could take out 100+kg out of the ttrs aswell to make it even lighter. Whats your thoughts about that comparison?

Hi Misha, If possible for you to answer - a question from my side - what would be a good wheel alignment to decrease understeer ? More negative camber ? Decrease the tyre pressure from bmw recommandations with 0.2-0.4 bar ? Asking because the exact same model is coming my way - and except the clear improvements that you suggested - lowered spring set , better brakes - the best way to decrease understeer is not yet very clear.
@Blue_Psych0
@Blue_Psych0 2 жыл бұрын
Well the best way to reduce understeer will be a new alignment with some toe out at the front axle, you also can do toe out at the rear axle although i wouldn't recommend it for unexperienced drivers, as it makes the car pretty nervous. second will be a antirollbar kit do reduce the bodyroll it also shifts the dynamics of the car depending on the stiffness of the bars (stiffer front = more understeer, stiffer rear= more overstear)...the Problem is...I don't think there is a antirollbar kit available right now. more negativ camber at front could also help but you need to fit camber plates to be able to adjust it. I think the car has a lot of potential with some slight modifications here and there. I think for the first mods you should look for some brake upgrades (Pads,Fluid,Lines) and alignment :)

@@Blue_Psych0 so you had the same predicament and bit the bullet and went with sDrive . I'm really thinking the same , but at the same time i've seen that M xDrive has improved track performance of all cars on technical tracks - mainly by enabling greater speeds through tight corners , at the expense of next to nothing regarding turn-in speed or turn angles - and considering we don't have the RWD version of this car yet - i'm afraid it will be a downgrade across the board. I've not driven this model yet , it is not available for test drive so i can't really tell from my own experience. I've driven F8x M4 - it had new PS4S tyres - and G8x M4 xDrive back to back - almost couldn't tell any important difference, but none were my personal cars so i didn't push them.

@@radupiscanu1299 I think in the end it comes down to personal preference. the xDrive should have more traction when accelerating out of corners while the sDrive should have a slight edge going into the corners. xDrive will be faster from 0-100km/h while the sDrive will be faster from 100-200km/h due to slightly less drivetrain loss. For the daily use, the sDrive takes about 0,5l /100km less than the xDrive. Both have their Pros and Cons and in the end it comes down to what suites you most :). I'm driving a 228i F22 sDrive with ZF8HP as daily right now, so sDrive was my way to go as soon as it came available :)

I order a 230i m sport with the ELSD and sunroof delete. Over 300lbs less than the m240i and even more ones you delete the rear seat! I think the little brother is the real enthusiast product at the moment and would love to see how it compares considering that weight is this cars biggest issue.I think the 230i will be more well balanced for track duty.

The new M240i is perfect for its audience. It offers a stellar engine (though how I wish it came with DCT over slushbox), great handling, relative comfort and refinement for daily use which is critical for those intending to use it exactly as such. The M2 will no doubt be massively exciting for those more committed to track days.

All I ever used to see is BMW fans say how it takes no skill to drive AWD and a true drivers car is RWD. Now that BMW have given M cars and M lites X Drive it’s the best thing ever 😂 They would never make the M2 X Drive as it would probably take away a decent chunk of the market from the X Drive versions of the G80/82.
