4 Reasons I Miss My BMW M240i Over My BMW M2
I used to own a BMW M240i, and I miss it. Here are 4 reasons why I miss that car and currently wouldn't;t mind having it again, over my BMW F87 M2
The BMW I had was a 2017 F22 M240i in black, with a gorgeous red interior, and the car I currently have is a 2016 F87 M2. The M2 is an absolutely incredible car in every way, but there's something missing from my ownership of this M2, that I think I had in my M240i.

My BMW M2 Breaks AGAIN - Rear Light Malfunction
Miata is always the answer.
You might’ve mentioned it but I didn’t hear; what’s the mileage on your M2? And any major issues / maintenance? I have a 2015 M235i at 61k miles, it needs quite a bit, Oil Filter Housing, Drive Belt, pulley and tensioner, valve cover gasket, water pump & thermostat ( preventative ) any my a/c hasn’t been blowing cold for the last couple months… 😅
Your car must have been sitting under the sun for its whole life. A covered storage helps a lot
You can put the car in MDM or Traction mode if you press the TC button once, and it will fully open the exhaust valves instead of just 50% open like in the sport and sport+ modes. I think in the video you were using sport+?
Yes that’s true, but the difference I find is traction mode increases the general burbles, not so much the individual loud pops. So it’s nice if you want to make some noise at slower speeds. I didn’t mention traction mode because I think most people use sports+ anyway got general hard driving
@@BertskiZPolski do you find a difference in pops between sport and sport+ mode?
It's weird my 2016 has been having odd times when such a noise comes from the rear suspension. Thing is I have aftermarket coilovers so don't know if that's just coincidence or what could be going on. Love the car otherwise it is aging so we'll compared to modern cars that look shite. Looking to get a pure500 shoved in this summer!
get lci headlights and tailights
Orient Kamasu 👌 how many km's on the car btw?
hello fellow watch & car guy
BTW how many miles on your car?
@@speeddemon311 About 69k miles
I can confirm after ownership that the leather especially on the steering wheel is trash and won't hold up in the long run!!
The leather is really disappointing. Every other car I’ve ever been in has had the leather hold up well. We have a 2010 Lexus and the leather still feels and looks great in that car. My old M240i had the red dye bleed horribly and it left a peeled patch on the headrest. That car had 65k miles on it. This M2 has 69k miles. Not bad for a car, but on the higher side for an M2.
The characteristics you describing is that they are Ceramic and the OEMs were Semi-Metallic
You’re right, the OEM pads are semi metallic on the M2.
Mine is a 2018 LCI and I have the same issue but just with the right blinker light, would I have to replace the whole taillight?
It’s likely just the LED if it’s only a blinker. A characteristic of the ground wire burning out is that all the bulbs fail to light. The ground wire is also an issue on the pre-LCI models, not the LCI. The electric current in the LCI bulbs is less and doesn’t strain the ground wire nearly as much. Thats why 2017 M2s had a second ground wire to fix the issue from the 2016s. The LCI supposedly has some similar issue with currents, but I don’t own an LCI so I’m honestly not familiar with it. 1, see if BMW will cover it because they extended the factory warranty for the taillights on those I THINK to 7 years. 2, see if you can just replace the LEDs as it’s cheaper than the whole taillight. 3, if still it doesn’t fix itself then you may have to replace the whole thing, or at least the backing to the housing. I would buy from somewhere like FCP so you get the lifetime warranty if it ever breaks again.
Great video! I think this kind of shows that these cars are more suited to those who lease/PCP, as by the time the agreement comes to an end, you are rotating to a new model. The only downside to that is very soon everything will be PHEV/EV. I want to hold onto my manual ICE cars for as long as possible 😢
@@Tibialstone7 They definitely cost some money to get dialed in after so many years. But asides from some small common issues, my BMWs have largely been reliable. Ownership really isn’t that bad as long as you upkeep and maintain it. The decline of manuals and the ICE is one of the reasons I picked this car in a manual. But even now a lot of companies are going back on their decisions to switch to electric cars. We’ll realistically see the ICE still being produced for another decade. I’m hopeful!
You mentioned you previously had a 240i, at the moment I’m stuck between getting the m2 or the m240, anything you can say having owned both cars ?
I actually have a few videos on that. I did one recently comparing the 2 cars, and I have one coming today relating to that as well. Way back(one of my first few videos) I have one talking about upkeep costs on the M240i as well. But overall, the M2 I feel is a more special car with a bit of character, it turns more heads and sounds way better. The M240i I consider a great car overall, but it falls more into the luxury category, being a top of the line 2-series. Performance wise they’re both pretty on-par with each other honestly unless you get an M2C. If you care about the engine being newer and the car being more subtle, I say M240i. It also has more interior options like seat color and trim. If you want a car that feels more like a sports car with some character, get the M2. I’ve bought an M2 twice if that tells you anything lol. I’ve owned the FZ8 transmission in the M240i, and both manual and DCT in the M2, they are all phenomenal transmissions and you can’t go wrong with any of them.
Wrench on it yourself if you can. My OG M2 just hit 60k. $80 for oil, $100 for spark plugs, $100 for belt and tensioner, $1500 for rotors/pads/fluid.
Is your exhaust stock?
Yes fully stock
I have a 2016 of in long beach blue, dct (yes i know), it going to be my daily for at least 5 years, definitely need to fix the rattling from my glove box edit: very cool to have found your channel btw
Appreciate it! I had a DCT M2 before and I loved it! I miss the violent upshifts
@@BertskiZPolski yea especially at 6-7k (definitely done in a safe environment), they are wild, enjoying any future content coming👍
How many miles are you on?
About 69k. Not that high, but higher mileage for an M car.
@@BertskiZPolski not bad. I’m at 56k had it since 2017
@@Blastboost86 that’s awesome! You buy it new at the time?
@@BertskiZPolski YES. I did Euro delivery back in 2017.
Note for anybody with a G-series BMW: The functions are largely going to be the same, however, some functions may be changed, or moved to other places. Same goes for BimmerCode, there are some modules and lines of code that are different or are stored in different locations. If I can help, I will try, but be cautious coding on the G-series without guidance specifically for the G-series BMWs.
Note for anybody with a G-series BMW: The location of these liens of codes are different. There no longer is a FEM/REM; these modules have been replaced and consolidated under BDC. The codes should till be there, but it may take a bit more to find them. Use expert mode if needed, but be VERY carful to not accidentally code the wrong thing.
Does the adapter u are using works on g21. Do u know? + can bimmerlink put epb in service mode for replacing brake pads
The adapter and app do work on the G-series, yes. As far as the brake service, there should be a brake icon that allows you to do it from what I’ve heard. I don’t own a G-series so I can’t verify it 100%, my F87 has a manual brake so we don’t have the function. But supposedly the function does exist in BimmerLink to release the brakes for the service. Sorry I don’t have much more info than that
Greenwich is beautiful. So is Darien. So is Westport and Southport. Stamford has pockets of nice. Rye is nice. White plains great night life. And of course Bridgeport for the drugs and lawlessness.
Absolutely! Just about all of Fairfield county and the surrounding NY area is great. The whole atmosphere just feels nice. Bridgeport I avoid like the plague!
@@BertskiZPolski it really does. It’s old world charm man. All along the Long Island sound up 95. Town after town of beautiful Fairfield county. I almost like it better than Westchester county. It’s more charming or something.
Good video, thanks. Had I seen you a month ago, I would’ve saved $250 with the BimmerLink app. Check engine was on and my cheap Autel decoder couldn’t see anything wrong.😱😱😂
❤
I always buy my cars in hotwheels when I see them. Then my son gets them and then they get wrecked😢🤣
At least he’s getting enjoyment out of them lmao!
It works also (coded with bimmercode) with my '14 F34 320i... Thank for this video.
Glad you got it! It’s very hit/miss with which models it works in, but having it is incredibly helpful!
Same reason for me I bought an OG because I can’t settle with the sound of s55
I have a 21 330i. I don't have the front/rear electronic module option. Any idea why?
That’s odd. Make sure you 100% have the correct car selected when you boot it up. Unless the modules are organized differently for that car, it sounds like an issue on BimmerCode’s end. I would honestly send them an email with the car information and see if they have an answer. ‘21 is old enough, and 330i common enough that they should have proper support for it by this point. There are a lot of common codes that are in those modules so they should definitely exist. Edit: I looked into it a bit. So that year eliminated those as separate modules. The codes should be under BDC. You should also be able to use expert mode to find them. I would just be cautious digging around in there, so make sure you find the correct codes before starting. I’m not sure if some lines of code changed in the G series.
@@BertskiZPolskioh dude thanks for looking into it. I’ll see if it’s under BDC.
what a dumb car to own.
@@stephensepan291 You’re welcome to enjoy Camrys and Civics :)
if you have the money its definitely worth it
@@lionely3485 explain...
@@lionely3485 wasting money is wasting money.
@@stephensepan291 bmws are typically owned by car enthusiasts who like to drive and not by people who want to go from point A to B, i don’t want to be disrespectful but you’re probably twice my age or even more so this comment still wont change your mind about the way you view these cars
This may be the most useful video on the M2 ever.
Also, I’ve never seen the “needle” go beyond the “Ok” position. Have you ever noticed the engine getting too hot and the needle going past the ok position?
@@spavlas77I haven’t seen it, no. The oil temp will fluctuate from around 80-110°, depending on driving mode and how hard it’s driven, but it’s all within the normal range for the car. I think it will only move towards the red if the temperatures go beyond normal levels. Realistically you’d probably see it only if something is broken or if really pushing on a track consistently without letting the car cool down.
Temperature is spelled wrong in the video :( Great job me!
Thanks for this video, pleased I found it as I was having exactly the same problems with an M2 I've just bought. I figured I'd just make sure that wire wasn't loose only to find that it was!! Same as you the clamp appears tight and if you put a spanner the nut you'd say it was as well, but what is happening is the square headed bolt that passes through this wire and the positive clamp, is catching on part of the clamp before it sits flush in the right position, when I tightened the nut on the bolt further it pulled the bolt free and and then allowed the wire to be tightened properly against that side of the clamp. Whoever fits the battery should really spot this upon checking their work, but if your fitting against the clock I can see how it can happen. Definitely something for anyone changing a battery on these cars to pay attention to.
Awesome to hear it was the same issue for you! Definitely easy to miss if you aren’t paying attention when tightening. What gets me the most is that it was changed at the BMW dealership, of all places. They changed it right after my PPI so of course it didn’t get noticed until I took delivery.
Bert I have a '18 F23 M240i currently loving the car and boy oh boy is she fun to drive! im seen some of your videos including 5 reasons u <3 ur 240 and 5 reasons u </3 ur 240. also know that this is ur 2nd m2 i believe. currently working towards trying to get myself an F87 as well as its been my dream to drive either the base or the comp. J wanna let you know love ur content and ur beautiful car! keep up the work and safe drives brother.
I really appreciate it bro! Definitely go for a drive in one! I didn’t plan on buying mine but when I test drove it I bought it on impulse the next day lol. Haven’t looked back much since. Be safe!
I think you are wrong. The RUclipsrs making most money film in point and shoot style without fancy music and cinematic clips. RUclips don’t reward quality but quantity. With experience planning your shots get easier. Film car wi the your phone. GoPro isn’t great to film car from a distance.
I’m the same. I own an LCI OG M2 and I love Ferrari. I’m an M and Ferrari fan 100000%
Thanks for the video! Thinking about picking up one of those. One mundane question though, have any of them had CarPlay in those years yet?
Both cars came with CarPlay from 2017 onwards(not sure if it’s from just 2017 or late 2016). My M240i had it and it worked great but both my M2s have been 2016 so I missed out.
@@BertskiZPolski thank you for the info! Gotta keep an eye out for model year then 🧐
i dont like the Akebono brake pads
Hey man👋 I just wanna say this video and one before is outstanding 💥💯💯💯. From ur opinion how can you explain the driving experience? ( my dream car😭)
Appreciate it!! It’s a great experience. It’s a tiny fast car that handles great. Both manual and DCT are fantastic. The manual suits the car because it’s meant for those winding roads, but the car feels like it was built around the DCT. It’s a fast and violent transmission, and the car can be twitchy and violent. But fun and predictable.
Ricer . The pops and bangs are for dumb teenagers .
How did you fixed Output SL_2_R defective? is the ony error I have in bimmerlink and I can't find a solution!
If you clear an error and it returns, or it just doesn’t clear at all, it means it’s an active issue that should be looked into. For me most of my errors were due to a faulty tail light ground cable. Once I had that fixed my errors were permanently gone. Until I did, they kept returning. That code indicates one of your right rear lights has an issue. There SHOULD also be an error on your Idrive. You have to narrow down which light bulb. Activate all the lights until one flags on your Idrive as defective and you’ll have an answer. Taillight, brake, reverse, turn signal, fog light(this one is easy to miss as many don’t realize it exists. it also activates on very hard braking, look up brake force display).
Curious how much $ is a clutch service in a manual.
A new clutch is around $850 on FCP EURO. I would guess with labor around $1,500 at an indie shop. I’ve heard you can find the clutches for under $500, but I haven’t needed to replace mine so IDK.
@@BertskiZPolskipricy 😅. Btw, I have exactly the same M2 as you, even the color! Have fun with it!
I just serviced my DCT a couple weeks ago. Just the fluid, filters, oil pan and hardware were close to 600 bucks. I saved a ton of money on labor doing it myself, but boy was it a hassle to do! Getting those little oil spills off my floor was super annoying. Of course I tracked it everywhere before I got a chance to clean too lol. This vid is taking off bro! I know that feels good man. Keep at it!
I appreciate it bro! I can respect you doing the DCT service yourself!
How often does ZF8 need the service? BMW says it's for life...
go under the transmission manufacturers recommendations, NOT BMW's, which is 40-60K i believe.
ZF say around 50-60k miles, or around 100K km. “For life” doesn’t really mean for life. It really covers the 1st and 2nd owners who likely won’t even reach 100k miles. But long term the issues will surface. Logically it’s still a mechanical machine out under a lot of stress over it’s life, and the fluid will accrue metal shavings and become burnt over the years and miles. As I mention in the video, it’s 100% worth changing, unless you get the car with 100k miles on it and it’s never been changed, at which point it’s better to not touch it than risk dislodging gunk and clogging your valve bodies.
Of course they say for life. When the transmission fails, the life of the car ends since it's too expensive too fix
Great content bro 🙏
My OG M2 puts down 537whp and it's a blast but I do love the B58!
They should have just built in a hinged door with a clip you could just easily open up, pull a cartridge out and replace with new.
Agreed! My Subaru takes all of 2 minutes lol. German over-engineering at its finest
@@BertskiZPolski love how they drive but working on interior components is a royal pain.
I have a 2018 M2 and my tail light is also broken. Going down the path of swapping to sequential LCI, can't seem to find a good manufacturer for this product though.
I thought about swapping the same way. I’ll probably do it if my second light ever goes out.
Awesomeness
Only thing the m240i was classed as a performance coupe by bmw. Likewise with an m140i being a performance hatch.
those imprints are normal for these brakes, nothing to worry about. Got them in Audi too
When someone totaled my car 2005 Subaru WRX STi that I had since new 5 years ago. Good thing I had a dash cam, and sent my insurance the dash cam video. They took care of everything. I didn't even go to court. The other insurance company just paid me out. A 2005 Subaru WRX STi with 32k miles on it for a 14 year old car and still was able to get $30k for it from the insurance was a good investment. I paid $38k after taxes and interest rates back in 2005 was super low, 0.9% for it. I'm cross shopping right now from a 2018 M2 to a 2019-2021 M2 Comp to an M4 and M4 CS. Can't wait to get it.
Damn 0.9%! You don’t see those numbers anymore. During COVID I had a great 2.4% at the time on my M240i. The only regret I have trading to an M2 was my rate went up a lot. But good luck on your car hunt! I’d lean towards the CS, but you can’t go wrong with any of those choices.
@@BertskiZPolski Thank you, waiting for the right M4 CS to pick up. Wanted one without a previous accident or wit an accident that is minimal. Yep, 0.9% was a thing back in 2005.
