Do you really need a BMW M2? - M240i Review
Join me on today's video where I review the 2024 BMW M240i. This car boasts a massive 374bhp and 500nm from its 3.0 litre inline 6 B58 engine! The x-drive system in this car makes it an absolute animal off the line, all for a much lower price than its big brother, the M2. We're heading out on a drive with the owner Paul, who's kindly lent us the car for the video, to give you guys a better idea of long term ownership with the car.

Which one feels faster this or the polo?👀
I’ll be honest, off the mark obviously the BMW with the x-drive, but when moving the polo feels quicker, think it’s just a case of better power to weight :)
These have more Fruitier sound than M2 .
You’d think it would be the other way round!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
👌👌
Awesome
Thank you mate!
Hey man - love the car setup. Just a word of note. Be careful with that tornado attachment on the washer that is known to strip clear coat 🥲 Happened to my aw but my wash is super powerful. But I love the car brother. Looks beautiful
Thank you mate! And thanks for the advice I’ll get one ordered :)
Legend for replying. Saw your car on Adam’s Channel and found the content awesome. I also own an AW as mentioned. Maybe get a Karcher k4 - and a V2 pro MJJC foam cannon works wonders man. - this is my setup and it’s absolutely mega 👀. Looking forward to some more content 🔥😎📣
Watching your content all the way from Cape Town South Africa 😎😂
Cheers mate appreciate that! Defo gonna invest in a karcher with some better kit, was just making do with that we had but didn’t realise it was so bad! 😂 more context coming soon! Thanks for the kind words :)
Love that! 😂
You gotta clean/dry the door jambs, bonnet and boot jambs to. also that lance you use shit me, use the standard non swirling lance next time.
I shall get one ordered!
What OBD11 version did you buy for this?
Think it was the middle of the range one, not the pro, was around £70 quid :)
Another Great video on the Polo GTI
Thank you very much mate!
I saw your video about all of your mods(I can’t find it anymore so I’m commenting here) how do you find the splitter and side skirts you have from rsp stores ? Cuz I want to get the new maxton diffuser they put out recently (I didn’t like any of their other diffusers) and the skirt and splitter from maxton look very similar to the rsp ones but the rsp are obvs quite a bit cheaper. So was wondering if they’re good or if you’d recommend getting the maxton ones instead.
Hi mate! I ended up deleting it because I wasn’t happy with it, it’s back up now tho! I think they’re good quality, not as easy to fit as maxton stuff it, but the fibreglass makes them less prone to breaking if you scrape on something. Think it’s worth going with the RSP over the maxton personally.
@@PassionForPetrol alright thanks a lot mate
BEAUTIFUL GTI! Do you have a link for the rear diffuser and front lip?
I do! rspstores.com/collections/volkswagen-polo-gti-2018-2021/products/volkswagen-polo-gti-2018-2021-front-splitter progressiveparts.com/product/rieger-vw-polo-gti-mk6-pre-facelift-17-21-rear-diffuser?k=129081-2020
Sup bro! Where did you order the sharkfin antenna and how did you install it? Was it easy or a pain in the ass? lol. Also, do you have any trouble with speedbumps/ parkinglots?
I’ll be honest, it’s just a stubby aerial, got it off Amazon for cheap and screwed it in. I don’t struggle most of the time but the front does scrape on the occasional hill.
Hey mate, first of all your Polo is sick, love it! 🔥 Secondly I would like to ask where did you find the hand brake lever with red stiching, it came like this or you added that? On mine the stiching are black, I want to upgrade that too. Thanks
Thank you so much! The handbrake is from a Skoda fabia, it’s a direct swap, around £50 from Skoda :)
@@PassionForPetrol Awesome! Thanks for the reply 😄
No worries bro :)
Hey! I'm in the process of modifying my polo gti 2019. being a student im short on cash so i was wondering what mod you would recommend I get first to get the most bang for my buck. As of right now all i have is a custom stage 1 ECU tune and im making 242hp and 470nm, but just like all petrol heads... I want more! Love the videos. refreshing to see high quality vids surrounding this car and defo deserves more attention
Hi mate! Thanks for the comment. Some good figures there! Appreciate that so much, more videos to come when I find some time to do them 😂 as for bang for buck mods I’ll give you a few options. With regards to performance, has to be the turbo elbow, easy to fit and you notice a difference straight off the bat, the standard one is a massive bottleneck for the intake. As for looks, I think a front splitter is a must on these cars, really adds to the front and you can get a £90 from RSP stores which looks great. Sound wise, I wouldn’t bother with a res delete, instead I’d go for a back box delete, will really liven up the car despite the GPF filter and won’t set you back too much. Handling, has to be springs, but wouldn’t go lower than a 25mm drop on standard suspension, you can pick springs up for cheap off of AUTODOC. Hope this helps!
@@PassionForPetrol Thanks for the advice! I didn't think just a turbo elbow would make any difference so thank for letting! I'll have a look into them Thanks for letting me know about the exhaust too as I have been looking into a res delete so maybe I'll have a look into the back box delete instead. and for the front spiltter, I have already had my eyes on the same one you have so that will probably be my next purchase as I love how it looks on yours... Cheers mate, all the best
Nice. What is your exhaust setup? I want to get the same!!!!!!!
nwrm watched the video
😂😂😂 I’ve put a back box on it now and think it’s too quiet so probably gonna remove the centre res 👍
Picked up my 2020 polo gti on Friday, absolutely loving it
Great little cars aren’t they!
Dont forget to add tire shine!!
Promise I did it after 🤪
Good work mate. 🔧 But as others said: Don't do it on gravel.
Thank you mate, working on a better area to do stuff on 👍
Subscriber number 830 🤙🏻 love your videos mate keep it up
Thank you so much mate! I will do.
@@PassionForPetrol bit of a stupid Question but I can’t for the life of me find the answer anywhere lol What does the “AW” stand for?
@@allanmcintyre989not stupid at all! Tbh I’m not sure that it stands for anything, it’s just a model name, if it does stand for anything I don’t think VW have told us what it is 😂
@@PassionForPetrol 😂😂 fair enough. I was stressing out trying to find it lol
For The Love of Cars .❤
🫡
I want to ask about the fuel you use, be it normal unleaded or super unleaded? Is there anything in the VW handbook that insists on which fuel? Reason for asking is I have a Polo GTI on order right now. I won't see it until October/November, so I'm asking for future reference.
I use Tesco momentum 99, the car is mapped to run on 99 octane fuel only. You can use 95 octane on a standard polo GTI :)
Great to see another Polo GTI on youtube. Ive got a 2018 AW which is pre GPF. Just got a milltek cat-back and it renewed my love for the car
Exhaust is a must! Glad you’re enjoying the content :)
Thanks for the breakdown great vid
No worries mate thanks for watching!
Need help bro, want paddle extenders for my facelift gti cant find them anywhere👎
diversionstores.co.uk/products/volkswagen-polo-mk6-5-carbon-fibre-replacement-paddle-shifters-2021-models that’s one set I’ve found, not gonna lie, Ali express might be the best place 😂
@PassionForPetrol cheers mate
@@PassionForPetrol can you send me a link for some off Ali express mate can't find my size🙈
What downpipe are you running dude? I’m looking for a decat and opf delete but worried about MOT time 😅
I’m decat and OPF delete, just nature of the beast, got to find a friendly MOT guy 😫
Fair enough! Need to get mine done soon 🔥
Cars stunning🤩what kind is ur diffuser?
Thank you! It’s from a Company called Rieger :)
@@PassionForPetrol been looking at one of these for mine, supposedly the old one bolts off and this one bolts on nice and easy, did you fit it yourself?
I have the same car only in blue absolutely love it
They look great in blue!
Wheres the front splitter from please
Rsp stores :)
Had mine 2 years. Totally trouble free. Daily it and does everything I need. Tell you what is annoying though, constant beeping when door open and engine on. Stfu so loud lol.
Hahah I agree it’s really intrusive, and then on the other side of the spectrum, the indicators are too quiet! Always leaving them on by accident 😂
Where did u get the spoiler from
The it is an oettinger (shite spelling)
@@ad_182_uk do u have the link for it?
It’s from diversion stores in the UK, pretty sure you can just get them off Ali express tho!
Facelifts You Can Hardly tell which one is which from a Distance.Gtis n R Lines front Bumblers look mid. This is The Best Polo Ever Made.
Agreed 👍
Do different launches. With launch control and traction control on sport and traction control off. Leave the car in sport auto and use launch control. Also what rpm does your gearbox change up
I’m gonna do a draggy video so will defo do all those things! When does it change up driving normally or?
@PassionForPetrol on sport mode when does it change up? I have a 2019 polo gti, mines stock it changes up around 6200 rpm if I'm not mistaken. I change up manually around 6000 rpm feels like the car keeps that pulling momentum going. Where else if you leave it in sport it feels like at the top of the rev range it kinda runs out of steam
These polo gti for stock is pretty quick. I have raced many tuned cars and surprisingly have beat them. I have raced modified ford's like fiesta st and focus st(all shapes) and surprisingly beat them off the line and even rolling races. Golf 6 edition 35, golf 7 and 7.5 gti. Same situation. Modified polo tdi as well. Most of the petrol cars I have raced is around 180kw-200kw. When the guys asks what's in the polo they think I'm lying the car is standard 😂😂😂
I think it’s around the same? Tbh I only ever drive in manual when I’m having fun, but I’ll give it a check and let you know.
They’re not bad at all! And even more impressive tuned, have the cars you’ve raced mainly been manual or auto? I remember watching top gear testing the polo against other hatches and it was beating them mainly because the shifts between gears were so quick with the DSG box
I have an identical polo gti mk6 2018 in pure white and with same wheels with a few mechanic upgrades like milltek exhaust, upgraded air intake, and some exterior modifications. I agree what you said and i'm also loving and enjoing this little and premium rocket as a fantastic daily car. i'm preparing for a stage 1+ and a gearbox remap🥰. Great video! enjoy your beautiful Gti❤️ ps: sorry for my bad english, i'm italian 😂
Your English is great! You picked a good colour my friend haha, you’ll absolutely love stage 1! Thank you, I will enjoy it :)
I have mixed emotions about the DSG gearbox, normal driving it’s okay but when I floor it it runs the gears to far
I know what you mean, think I’ve just got used to it now.
@@PassionForPetrol you got the dsg optimized with the stage 2 ?
Yes mate the box is mapped as well
Great content bro , you've just gained a subscriber 🙌🙌
Thank you so much! Appreciate that 🫡
That is the best polo gti I ever seen, well good job brother❤️🙏🏽
Thank you so much mate really appreciate that ❤️
I am trying to get polo gti 2022 one but can’t find any good ones
Get any and tune it on 10 000 budget
Keep looking it’s well worth it!
Loving the videos mate keep it up
Thank you bro!
There is a way to bypass soft limiter by, holding the gear lever in between reverse and park it will let you rev all the way, not sure if your supposed to do that though.
Have tried that a couple times, doesn’t fill me with confidence though 😂
Too much noise for my liking but nearly 300bhp in a polo is quick
It’s much better now I’ve had a back box out on it, no longer asbo loud 😂 it defo shifts!
Nice!
Thanks!
Great Video,That Thang Songs Nice 👌 Damn 🧨
Thank you mate!
It's a 4 pot Polo. i.e. it's a noisy pos, people don't want to hear it
Thanks for sharing your opinion, Kevin6666123!
Stick to your Pamela Andersen videos then pal
My polo gti is also running a stage 2 with a downpipe and stock backbox but I already replaced them twice because over time they start making a rattling noice.
Oh as if, hopefully aftermarket will be better? If not I’ll just rip it all out haha
@@PassionForPetrolI think a aftermarket will for sure be better. I think the oem can’t handle the flow without the cat and OPF
Got the back box on now, I’ll see how it holds up 👍
@@PassionForPetrolNice! Curious how it’s holding up with your setup
All good so far but early days. If anything destroys itself I’ll be sure to make a video about it 😂
Where you going for the backbox? That bug as well 🤣 thought was giant spider for a second. What road is this, peak district yeah? Soft limiter is to protect the gearbox I think.
Going to cobra sport, they’re just adding a back box to the pre-existing system! Haha it really caught me off guard 😂 yeah man, just out of glossop towards wood head pass :)
@@PassionForPetrol okay good to know. I have a friend with full cobra system sports cat back (although sports cat did naff all and still 3x over MOT limit). Just a straight pipe. He’s heading MRC end of September for stage 2 so will probably be needing the same in terms of backbox if he wants ti keep his hearing.
As if it didn’t do much! Glad I went decat then. Slight update, got the back box on, too quiet now 😂
@@PassionForPetrol 🤣 too quiet. Do you still get the overrun slaps?
The pops are still quite prominent tbf, more muffled some of the time, DSG farts are a LOT quieter, tone is nicer overall tho.
At 0:11, i thought he was going to say; "woke up this morning and chose violence" 😅
Love this 😂😂 keeping that on the cards for next time
Hey. I have they GLI Autobahn 19’ We have the same display… But when you shift from 3 to 4th, there is a little plus is that rev matching?
I believe it’s just the car suggesting that you should change up gear based on position of the throttle etc :)
car its looking amazing from inside beast <3
Thank you very much :)
Love the build so far man!! Sounds good but definitely needs a back box😂
Thank you dude! It’s going on tomorrow thank god so should sound a lot more refined 😂
Awesome video man. Sounds nuts I can’t lie
Thank you bro!
