Current M240i owner and I agree it is more of a GT coupe than a sports car. That's exactly what I was wanting so I'm very pleased with the car.

[@JustinDoesTriathlon]

Great video. Ironically your reasons for why it didn't work were almost exactly what I want, but this was still very helpful.

[@mefisto7654321]

Nice review man! Last year I was trying to figure out if I should get this M240i RWD or a used M2 Competition. Got a Comp with only 8000km and I’m enjoying the car since then. I was wondering how it would’ve been to get the M240i. In this video I got a lot of hints that I made the right choice. Well see which one holds it’s value better. Thanks and keep it up!

[@kazsiddique1]

Excellent video! What is next then? Manual supra?

[@TunedIntoCars]

Not sure yet. The manual Supra is close, price wise, to a 981 Cayman S. And in that case, I would definitely pick the Porsche. But I will decide next spring, probably

[@TeaVR]

Good review (as always). I have an LC500 but I've always liked the M240i. If you were going on a long trip. which would you take, an LC500 or the BMW?

[@TunedIntoCars]

LC500 without a single doubt

[@justpixelbee]

Have you tested Golf 8 R also? I was curious how it compares on dynamics

[@TunedIntoCars]

There you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKG9qoarbLGimq8

[@Arman-nl6mg]

Keeping what you said in mind about your main reason for selling it, would you recommend me to go for an 2020 M340i or a 2018 F80 M3? The fastest car I've owned is an M140i, now on a 435d GC but I miss the power and the sound🥲

[@derekporter66]

Get 435d mapped

[@TunedIntoCars]

test drive them both and see which one you like. But they are quite different cars. The M3 is the more fun car, 100%, but the M340i is easier to live with, has better tech and so on. If you're only interested in the driving aspect, I'd say M3. So you need to figure out what you want before deciding.

[@Ocho5]

I got a 23 240i and spec it the way I wanted it to look and perform and love the car, everyone has their own opinion on it tho

[@rscholey85]

I just don’t see any really good looking cars like the m2 you had, I truly think it’s stunning, you ever driven the porche 991.1 ? I’ve only heard good things about porches would like to get your opinion on one, or any Porsche 911 for that matter

[@TunedIntoCars]

Yeah, I did drive a 991.1, it's my favorite 911. But it's so expensive, still this day.

[@rscholey85]

@@TunedIntoCars thanks for that comment did you do a review and I missed it or was it just off camera, thanks for the reply

[@TunedIntoCars]

it was off camera. A friends 991. I liked it more than the 992. Perfect size, perfect interior, loved it!

[@schwagier]

Can you compare old m2 comp with the new m2?

[@TunedIntoCars]

Quite different cars, but I talk about the difference between the two in my G87 M2 review I posted a few weeks ago

[@UCh5Y7Xd0i3UUWRpAjFs]

I drive a Megane 4RS Trophy and i like the car very much on a B road and in the mountains 😊

[@TunedIntoCars]

nice car!

[@asphalthedgehog6580]

Exactly what can be expected from a 'car for everyone'. I'm not interested in tech, comfort, 0..60 times top speed or whatever. Only fun on B-roads and cornering and slow enough to not danger your driver's licence. So, after owning a 2002, E30 2.7 (tuned) Peugeot's GTI, Golf V GTI I now ended up with an UP! GTI and an MX5. Most interesting car for me of any car is the Alpine A110, however I do not like automatics. Don't care about any supercar.

[@bobdidit55]

I don’t understand how you could have made this error, unless you hadn’t test drove the car before buying it. I had a M240i for a day while my M2 comp was in the garage and within an hour I could tell it was a gran tourer and not a sports car like the M2. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bad car. If I needed to swap my Comp in for a daily, the M240i is what I’d go for.

[@TunedIntoCars]

It's quite easy. There were no cars registered for test drives. Once I drove it, I instantly knew it wasn't it. I drove it for a couple of months and sold it. No big deal

[@bmw3842]

He has been driving back and forth to his boyfriend's house .

[@tobi_dg]

Does the G87 add enough to turn this into a fun sports car?

[@TunedIntoCars]

Yeah, but the price is absolutely nuts, in Sweden at least

[@audiophilemetallian]

@@TunedIntoCarsAny difference between G87 and G80 in ur opinion?

[@TunedIntoCars]

as I've said in my G87 review, not really

[@seanclark5670]

I bought a m240i xdrive coupe 2024 last month like it but coming from Audi rs3 I don't like the 130 limiter I didn't spec it bought it off lot and didn't know it was only 130 now I'm ready to sell unless spend 3k more to unlock ecu

[@TunedIntoCars]

Are you doing lots of track driving? Because otherwise I don't know why the limiter would bother you

[@kyleash3614]

Hey can you explain what you mean by 130 limit? I thought these had a top speed of 155 mph

[@seanclark5670]

It only goes up to 130 mph because it was speced with the dumb ass run flats stupidest shit i ever heard of

[@seanclark5670]

​@TunedIntoCars yes track and drag strip

[@wingedhussar5528]

I have the cooling\high performance package so it's set to 155. If you don't have this package than I believe the limiter is set to 130 but you might want to look at Tires under your setting. There should be an option to pick speeds >100 and speeds 100 (greater than 100) you will be limited to 130 by default.

[@goldwing_gab]

What's the difference in your opinion compare to an RS3 ?

[@TunedIntoCars]

quite big differences. The RS3 is FWD most of the time, while this is RWD. The Audi is more practical, but this is faster. I will say thought, surprisingly for me, the RS3 is the better handling car. I loved it, but the price of the Audi was just too high for me

[@goldwing_gab]

Really the 240i is faster than rs3 ? I wouldn't have guessed that

[@TunedIntoCars]

BMW usually underrates the power of its cars. So the M240i is actually close to 400hp. And considering the superior 4wd system, it's going to be faster than the rs3. Not by much...

[@tytlyf]

Do you think the RWD version would make any difference in your final opinion?

[@TunedIntoCars]

That, but more importantly the adaptive suspension. I really think this car needs that and mine didn't have it

[@viacom2000]

I'm interested to know if you regret selling your F87 M2 Competition. I used to have the F Series M240i, but always wanted the M2C. I was so looking forward to the new G series but was utterly disappointed when it came out. When I was in a position to get another BM, the choice was between the F87 Comp, and the new M240, and for me it was a no brainer. After the release of the G Series, the F Series became more desirable than ever - the last M car that was highly regarded as the spiritual successor to the E46 M3 (which I always wanted but never got to own), the last M car with the quintessential twin halos, round dials with needles, and classic BMW good looks. For these reasons alone I believe the M2C will quickly enter classic car territory because we now know those days are gone and won't be coming back. And I hear the next M2 will be a hybrid. The one after that no doubt fully electric. I looked for an M2C for a long time, several times a day and when I found a 1 owner with only 7,500 miles, I couldn't have phoned the dealership faster. It had only come in the day before - the photos hadn't even been taken to upload to the BMW Appoved Used website. I paid the deposit, viewed it 2 days later, and the following weekend I was driving it home. What a feeling. That model made perfect sense to me. Truly last of an era, low milage, beautiful looking and amazing performance. It's my garaged weekend toy and I love nothing better than going out on a lovely dry day on my favourite roads. After a session in that car I feel like I've had mind blowing sex and need a cigarette afterwards lol. And being a weekend toy is perfect - I honestly think it would be bad for my health to experience that performance every day, it really raises the heart rate and takes my breath away. What a car.

[@TunedIntoCars]

The only car I regret selling is my manual M2 LCi. I really do miss that car

[@user-yf9ev2il8d]

I have ordered a 2024 M240i and suspect I'll plenty pleased with it. That said, Paul, I agree with your summation. I fully expected to say you were full of shiite, but no. You were simply being honest and accountable for your decision. I respect that. As you stated "I bought the wrong car". Cheers, thanks for the useful reviews.

[@goldwing_gab]

340i and 240i same sound from outside ?

[@TunedIntoCars]

Yes. Same engine, same exhaust system

[@stevenfoleyuk9404]

The M cars are too good and they no longer have the sports car feel . They are exactly as you describe ,Grand tourers

[@gerard1153]

At 2:15...yes that it is correct. Sir with all your knowledge...it didn't fail, you misinterpreted. The 240/340/440 are highly edged Tourers...But thank you for the video ;-)

[@TunedIntoCars]

I didn't misinterpret anything. I took a risk, because I didn't have a car to test drive before buying, and that risk didn't pay off. No big deal

[@gerard1153]

Sir ~ There are numerous videos by entities on KZbin with hundreds of thousands of followers that have reviewed the M240 through the last few years. You stated you have owned many "sports cars" yourself...so You thought/interpreted it to be a "sports' car...and furthermore without test driving it first? So you were impatient and taking a risk...as you say. This is why I tell friends and family to base large buying decisions on large well established sources. Throttle House, Hagerty, Car Wow, Edmunds etc...Thank you again for the real world review/admission Sir @@TunedIntoCars

[@TunedIntoCars]

No offense, but that's very bad advice. Any purchase this big should only be based on how you personally feel about that car. If you don't like it, don't buy it no matter what any journalist says. And yes, i did buy it without a test drive because, again, there were no test drive cars in Sweden.

[@gerard1153]

I advise people who want additional means of making a decision to review major reputable sources. I don't need to advise them to 'actually' test drive the car to make their final decision...they know to do that...and how it feels for them is just 'understood'. My point here is you have stated you have owned lots of sports cars and still got it wrong with your interpretation...even though highly respected "journalists' out there have already stated it is not M2-like (not a sports car)...had you done that research? Fair to say...all people should do their research wisely and thoroughly before making a purchase. So even reviewing people who got it wrong, is valuable - no offense =-) @@TunedIntoCars

[@TunedIntoCars]

I don't advise people. The only thing I reply to people asking me about cars is to go and drive it for themselves. No matter how much 'research' you do, until you drive the actual car you will not know if you like it or not. Both M240i and M2, new generations, are far from the old cars. They are more GT than sports car. So even if I would've bought the M2 instead of the M240i, the end result would be the same: I would sell it.

[@stephenkoch4188]

M cars are all gt cars too. Go drive a 911 or boxster cayman -even a Miata and you’ll see the distinction immediately. BMW doesn’t make true sport cars. They make awesome high quality road cars that are sporty cars you can daily drive. I would always drive a BMW and ideally a Porsche on the side 😊

[@TunedIntoCars]

The new generations, yes. But the previous generation M2 was a proper sports car

[@meady200]

So what's next?

[@TunedIntoCars]

Most likely a Cayman or a Boxster

[@FekZso]

What is the next car?

[@TunedIntoCars]

I'd say either a Cayman or a Boxster, but let's see :)

[@FekZso]

@@TunedIntoCars with the 4.0 engine?

[@TunedIntoCars]

Nah, I can't really afford the 4.0l 718. Maybe in a few years time

[@borinvlogs]

@@TunedIntoCars I have had 718 2.5L Cayman S, but now i have kept 987 3.4L Boxster S as my weekend/summer car. It is totally analog and raw driving experience with proper hydraulic steering wheel, old school NA flat six without turbo, and relatively lightweight. Daily a Model 3 Performance which is the opposite, fast, digital, high tech and costs almost nothing to run. So perfect combo.

[@Verknechter]

Sounds exactly like the problems with the old M140i. Better geht the M2 I guess.

[@TunedIntoCars]

If you have the cash to go up to an M2, for sure you'll be getting a better car. My only issue with the new M2 is that with BMW's price hikes, it's now just as expensive as a Cayman GTS 4.0

[@Verknechter]

Yeah cars are crazy expensive now. I was thinking about a used M2 Comp F87. Or something completely different like a X3M Comp pre LCI - they are good value at the moment compared to a M3 xdrive and it seems like they are very sporty despite being a SUV. New M2 maybe a good deal in 1-2 years because the think it’s not very loved because of its looks.

[@gaara4667]

Well with that logic I hope you aren’t calling modern 911s sports cars too🤔

[@TunedIntoCars]

With the exception of the non-GT 992s, that's what they are. Yes

[@kazsiddique1]

Where u at bro

[@TunedIntoCars]

I'm here. Hi!

[@kuvyoghmoobamelica6883]

How do you already cover 10,000km (6200 miles) with 3 months of ownership? Lol

[@TunedIntoCars]

It's gonna shock you, but I did it by ... driving the car

[@kuvyoghmoobamelica6883]

@TunedIntoCars Looks to me you drove it across the country and back multiple times lol.

[@TunedIntoCars]

I've mentioned it right there at the beginning of the video 🤷‍♂️

[@gcr3990]

Because, you want to be electric 😊

[@TunedIntoCars]

I've tried hybrid. Worst experience of my car life

[@borinvlogs]

BMW are shite these days. I wouldn't bother.

[@gaara4667]

Much better than whatever Mercedes and Audi is doing.

[@TunedIntoCars]

That's simply not true. They're very good, but they're very different from what you'd expect a BMW to be

[@jbmectronic4314]

Id say, modern cars are just non exciting

[@Jacob-xd3ko]

what do you drive..?

[@ln5747]

Just driven my first BMW ever in the M340i and it was fantastic, an absolute gem of an engine. Clown comment.
