      The cars offer more now. They may be you know kinda gay now but they offer so much more and perform so much better especially for daily use and reliability. You really get what you paid for with this one especially on the new 2023 model with the idrive 8 system that prioritizes voice command usage for a lot of shit.

      @@duncanidaho7494 fuck the iPad gauges..you now have a an accurate personal assistant, more power, more control although sensory feedback is dissapointing yes, but visual feedback is treat. If you don't like the screens I understand bruv but get used to it, I just bought one of these for 60k but meanwhile I just found an 2005 e46 m3 in prestine condition for 70k. Hell of a car the e46 was but I no way shape or form is it or should it have ever been worth anywhere near that. The cars they are making now in my opinion are more bang for your buck than it's ever been. We used to pay to drive, now the drive has 100 features included on top of what already came before ..for less.

    I replaced my much loved 2018 BMW 440i with a M340i purely because I didn’t like the huge grill on the new 4-Series. The M340i has also been a brilliant and faultless car but it does seem a bit needlessly large for me (I rarely carry anyone in the back). I am therefore thinking about downsizing whilst keeping the 374bhp engine to the M240i the looks of which I really like.

    I might be the odd man out because I love the way the new M240i looks.
    I like look of a car that has a long front end with sort of a short rear. Kinda like the Merc GT R.
    If you are at the BMW dealership and looking for a Coupe I don't see how anyone in their right mind buys a M440i over the M240i .
    I think BMW did a great job on this car and they will soon have my money.

      I'm in the older version 2019 F22 230i xDrive..with the Track Package and did test drive it back to back with the then M240i xDrive. I preferred the lighter, more nimble driving feel of the 4 cylinder powered 2 series and don't need/miss the admittedly stronger B58 powered version....lower initial cost plus better gas mileage and less expensive insurance. I still enjoy a few autocross days and on track driving events. Test them both if you can find 'em together!

    I saw a purple one this morning while I was leaving the town for a drive which started as a medium long one (around 150 miles) but ended being a semi-epic 260 miles over almost 6 hours of driving on back roads, separated by small villages..., wait.. I was saying something about the bmw.. yes,..., I saw one and, in the flesh, the body of the car is so "hulked up" it makes the 19" wheels look a size too small. I did not mind the back of it.. liked the profile and on the roads I drove today in the second part of my trip(after a rain/half wet snowflakes), that xdrive would have been exactly what the doctor ordered.

    hello. I didn't like the design of the M240i at first. I didn't like the headlights and taillights. In reality, it looks different ... much better. I like it now. Brooklyn gray and shadow line I think look best. I think for how much you pay, the car offers a lot. It's a good platform for the future M2. Seeing the black color now ... I think it looks good. All colors are ok. I'm waiting for a long time review. good luck

I want an old school feeling car like my m2 as I don’t do many miles so I don’t need an auto or it to be a more comfortable drive if you know what I mean.

    Black seems to be the colour for it. I don’t like the white option, the front looks too busy but the Black hides it.
