do you have it blacked out? if so, is there any way I can see more of your car because I have a blacked out m240i on the way and Its hard to find good videos of the car with the exact spec as mine.
I ordered it very early (July 2022) to make sure it is ready when I must give away my old car. Turns out, I gave away my old car in June and got the new one in August. The salesperson told me that there are huge problems with deliverys of the 2 and 3 series (Limo). Some customers had to wait over a year until it got delivered. It’s build in Mexico and the production over there apparently doesn’t work as planned. But maybe the waiting period also depends on the location from where you‘ve ordered the car. All in all I was very lucky that I got it now even if it was late. But I really can recommend this car. It‘s so good looking in my opinion and so much fun. It‘s just a beast! Hope you get yours faster!
definitely playful the only thing the x-drive is good for is drag strip/freeway choppers and ppl that want to run a burble tune for meets XD. Just the way i see it bc IMO on a per drive basis...the RWD just offers so much more input/steering feel that the x-drive IMO is just robbing owners of.

@@anhiirr yeah look i love Ford, but unfortunately, when they cut corners and change factories the quality goes entirely. Even the bottom end tolerances in bearings etc were stuffed from the spain motors. Which annoyingly, 2022 onwards, they fixed and made all the RS blocks/engines. Normally, engine manufacturing tolerances are pretty equal from the BMW South africa, to mexico to germany factories, but the Ford Mexico vs spain vs US built motors at least use to have big differences.
Man I’m so sold on this as I believe it’s the closest modern thing to my beloved E90 330i. It doesn’t sound as good as N52 tho but still it’s such a great car
@@a777mpru yes I have 033T M Techink Paket. Top speed is as shown in the video. In the speedo is 250+something but GPS is lower of course. I have not tried after the latest OTA update though. It slightly changed the exhaust sound; maybe it also increased the top speed? Difficult but maybe need to try again…
Agreed the RWD is the classic (dare I say BETTER) choice over xDrive. I'd say dispense with the Premium, Executive Package, and that Moonroof, but folks love their Bimmers loaded.
Just bought the xDrive version and it's a rocket but I might consider switching to a rwd for the extra fun. Although I heard the xDrive can get sideways (haven't tried yet), it'll never be quite as fun
DO it the rwd just has so much more of a driving ratio balanced between your feet and hands/steering...so many more inputs and opportunities to respond to what the car is saying/feeling. The x-drive wins at the redlights vs some other hot bois surely...but imo its no compromise worth the exchange of the daily feel youll encounter on your local daily on ramp/off ramp freeway interchanges if you daily yours. That value and feel is just too fun and the power ratio over the 230i makes it even more worthwhile.
While this is a great automatic transmission, i still need to complain about the lack of a manual. The "sporty drivers" are just gonna get the M2, with it's manual, just isn't true when this car is so good and so much cheaper.
@@BeaglowWell yeah it’s faster, but most sporty drivers prefer manual. Im not an auto hater though, this is one of those cars i’d get an auto over manual, just depends
@@walkemdown4127 I think I didn't explain well enough what I meant. With the BMW 8 speed auto, you can switch from D to M (or S mode in M group cars) and shift manually with the paddles, so you don't have to take your hands off the wheel, which I believe is faster (and imo better) than a stick shift. I haven't been on tracks a lot, though, so maybe I will be proven wrong. But I was lucky enough to be able to drive a few of the newer cars ( g42 220d, g20 330d, g23 m440i, f90 M5, g80 m3 comp ) and I didn't miss a stick shift. I can imagine that one would prefer a stick just because of the feeling of it, though. With manual you mean a stick shift right? Maybe I got that wrong.
You can get M240i and 340i/M340i in AWD also! Are gasoline cars just more expensive there or are they banned or something? Or is their some crazy tax you have to pay?
X-drive definitely holds this cars character/charactristics and driving dynamics in the street/road. Other than needing snow/capability...IMO owning a 240i RWD or one as a DAILY is by far the better option in almost every way....from a pure driving/driving dynamics perspective the turn/initiate steering feel on the X drive is just too "accelerated" or too nose heavy for the chassis/rear end to ever keep up adequately. Other than that i could see the lack of 6 spd manual or Lack of DCT( not even as a standard but a premium option) keeping some buyers away for the car not fully appealing to the "SPORT" aspect of current criteria or apparent standards....not that the zf8 would keep me out of this platform no doubt a fun car to drive in 230i and 240i rwd. Definitely feel more car/roll/inputs and even engine/speed management from a RWD. The balance of the 230i is 50:50....so in any scenario where both cars are at seemingly top speed/cornering like down hill or a shorter/smaller track that lacks true/high speed acceleration areas...either way id take both RWD over the x-drive for the ease of use/manageability in those mid corner/sweeper/down hill type settings you just feel so much more with the wheel/inputs than X-Drive...and the ability to react/accordingly is much easier vs X-drive. Its 2000$ worth of night and day feeling as far as driving/characteristics. That most ppl that would pay for a crackle tune and see the majority of "VALUE" out of owning/driving this car would get an x-drive if they want to make noise in traffic/fly bys....or straight line off the line speed....other than that...IMO it truly misses the actual value/driving dynamics this chassis/wheelbase has to offer with BMW performance/powertrains. Whats weird about me is i figure the supra deserves an x-drive/option....bc im not a purist...hell even a 4cyl x-drive....ijs from a pure drivers/tuning standpoint i like the idea of all these different options/orientations out on a track setting just genuinely how they would affect balance/handling characteristics.
I don't consider an M240i an upgrade at all to even a nice 135i N55 from 10+ years ago. I prefer my manual, no iDrive, no OPF filter, the smaller size of the E82 chassis, & with a tune I have the same or more power & 280kmh
@@dr_tate Ok so I will give you some backstory. I used to own a camaro ss from 2018. The things that made be deside the M240i over the Mach 1 where. #1 M240i is way more comfortable, the space for the backseats is bigger than in the mach 1. 2# the reverse camera is way better, apple car play is way better integrated in the m240i than in the mach1. Mach1 screen is very small and looks out dated. 3# When driving the M240i and mach 1 on the highway the horsepower difference is not noticeable, but what is noticeable is the fact that m240i has way better suspension. Plus, I got tired of the gas mileage that my camaro V8 gave me and also the m240i has more tune potential than the mach1. Hope this helps you decide
@tanekidd I'm leaning to the M240 The only thing that would make me change my mind and buy the 2024 mustang is financing. I got a buddy that is the finance manager of a Ford dealership. If both cars are close in price but I can get a way better deal on the mustang.. well I'll go that route
@@dr_tate bro look at it in the long run. You can tune the F out of the m240i and transform it into an amg killer or a m8 killer without any issues. After pimping your m240i you go on ilegal street races and win everytime. You´ll bet all your savings and win, this way you´ll become millionaire in no time, get the car you trully want and not a block of metal with a V8. You wont need to work a 9 to 5 any more, just do a couple of races every now and then and live like a king. Youll get all the ho3s from the street, respect from street dudes and alot of street clout.
I went to test drive the 240i and i first drove an xdrive...all I could think was something about this is just not fun. Got in the rwd and thought, oh duh. And he is right, the shift in the rwd is better, turn in better. If you live in socal like i do, don't get a awd so you can go .4 seconds quicker 0-60. You will lose all that actually driving a car spirited means. Might as well be in a truck.
Interesting that this was faster than the awd, I thought xdrive is supposed to be faster. Either one is a good choice though, I test drove the xdrive and it was so fun
Why shouldn't you get an m3 with Xdrive? You can disable the FWD with the push of a button but still have it for when you need it in bad weather. I don't really see the downside.....
What is your opinion on the gear lever delete? Ive had a M140i RWD and i really like to drift using the gear lever. Guess i will be practicing solely with the paddle shifters?
Getting close to ordering an M240 and my dealer keeps trying to talk me into X drive. I live in an area of the country where we do get snow(2-3 months of the year), but I also work from home and wouldn’t have to drive in it on a daily basis (drive about 3-4K a year). My thinking is I should get rear drive especially after seeing this video. (seems more fun, less expensive, etc) No dealers close to me have a rear drive version for me to drive and I was hoping that given that you’ve driven both, you might be able to give me a summary of your impressions/ differences between the driving experience of both? Thanks in advance!
Is that Portimao Blue? What's up with that speed thing? Maybe they test/set it on different size tyres - maybe if u have it on non-star tyres perhaps that'll sort it 😉 Agree, that gear-select toggle is crap and fake-exhaust tips awful. Wish u can fully turn-off fake sound too. Front end is indeed nice.
Yeah, I have watched so many videos where they just snark at 350-450 hp that I started to think it wouldn’t be anything crazy, until I drove a car with power in that range and was like “damn” lol. It’s definitely not terrifyingly fast but still pretty insane. Of course BMW underrates their cars too so 374 hp is more like 374 whp
This is by far the most glowing review of a 2-series coupe I've seen. Most journalists I've watched/read have been disappointed by it, as it's less a sport-luxury coupe and more a luxury-sport coupe. The focus is less on driver engagement nowadays. Also, the ///Marketing in the gauge cluster is laughable. A big ole "M" logo to greet me every time I get in the car, even though I know it's not really a true M product.
@@wurf5336 Ah, ich sehe, deutsch - dann kurz so weil einfacher Drivers Package gibts leider nur bei den richtigen M Modellen. Also M Performance hat das leider nicht. Die neuen M Performance Modelle laufen offenbar alle bei 254 tacho gegen ne Wand. Kanns dir vermutlich auch in ein paar Wochen sagen, dann kommt mein 240i :D
So how come on I guess you can cell them the “lower end” M models have better front grills than the real M models it’s as if BMW is playing mind games to get you to buy both
I legit would have bought this over the new S650 mustang GT here in australia if they sold the RWD version. Good job BMW... why not sell the RWD version in the driest country in the southern hemisphere?!
The older gen looks so much better imo. Just like the new M3/M4 exterior design its ugly( at least the interior is nice). Whoever makes the new exterior designs that person should be fired.
Nah mate, the one before was an ugly blob. This one, so low, so muscular is a magnificent car. Also a lot of classic BMW design ideas. It's a magnificently beautiful car by any definition. Unlike most BMWs...
I can't express how much I hate BMW's new gauge cluster design (or total lack /abandonment of one). That giant flat screen with sharp corners is so ugly.

Interesting that this was faster than the awd, I thought xdrive is supposed to be faster. Either one is a good choice though, I test drove the xdrive and it was so fun
0-100 awd is faster
100-200 rwd is faster
awd is always slower at higher speeds - but it pulls much more in lower speeds.
6:00 you can now! Just used xdelete on my 2019 f22 m240i and can flash between xdrive and rwd
Work with OBD? And also for g-series?
@@enricocolombo obd yes, but not for g series.
without tuning slow car, maybe stage 2+ or 3 makes it worthy attention.
Nice car
thank you martin
Good drifting while wet road and also mode this
Why shouldn't you get an m3 with Xdrive? You can disable the FWD with the push of a button but still have it for when you need it in bad weather. I don't really see the downside.....
yea alot more fun if u want 2 end up in a hedge or worse a wall lol!!!
I'd take that one over the new M2 anyday.
I’d take the previous m2 anyday
very helpful thanks
can you make a nissan primera 2.0 gt vehicle test video
Performs awesome 🔥🔥
damn I want to buy one
8:45 12-13 seconds from 100 -200 in 5th gear? Wow!
would absolutely have gone RWD if i didn't live in a hilly, rainy area that gets 4 months of winter. oh and it's my only car. lol
What is your opinion on the gear lever delete? Ive had a M140i RWD and i really like to drift using the gear lever. Guess i will be practicing solely with the paddle shifters?
god imagine this thing tuned
That gear "suggestion" that pops up must be the most annoying bit of interface design I have ever seen! Is that possible to turn off?
The remove of the gear lever is an absolute crime. Just stupid.
Previous Model better ❤️
No way old model looks so old and outdated compared lol
No way
„Its early and everyone is still asleep, so we going to use Sport plus“ reaonable decision
Will not be available in minor/lower-order markets like Romania or the UK.
Amma go for xdrive, but ok🔥
Getting close to ordering an M240 and my dealer keeps trying to talk me into X drive. I live in an area of the country where we do get snow(2-3 months of the year), but I also work from home and wouldn’t have to drive in it on a daily basis (drive about 3-4K a year). My thinking is I should get rear drive especially after seeing this video. (seems more fun, less expensive, etc) No dealers close to me have a rear drive version for me to drive and I was hoping that given that you’ve driven both, you might be able to give me a summary of your impressions/ differences between the driving experience of both? Thanks in advance!
Do not drive car like this in winter. DO NOT. Get a cheap old fiesta/beater whatever for the salt & bad weather.
@@DigitalDissident I’ve driven BMWs (rear drive and AWD) in winter/ snow for years without any issues. They do just fine.
I am so glad I got M235 coupe, not a fan of any of these new BMW designs.
I love the new design, nice video chap.
This engine with a manual on the 2007 M1
Is that Portimao Blue?
What's up with that speed thing? Maybe they test/set it on different size tyres - maybe if u have it on non-star tyres perhaps that'll sort it 😉
Agree, that gear-select toggle is crap and fake-exhaust tips awful. Wish u can fully turn-off fake sound too. Front end is indeed nice.
its on all new id8 m performance cars - even the 3 series
No Martin... it looks nothing like a Hyundai from the 1990's...LoL
It does look like modern Camry and Hyundai though.
RWD better or Xdrive with future stage 2
This is the peak! Does it have M diff as standard similar to xdrive ?
yes
nice car but that square screen looks so tacky on the dashboard and seems like an afterthought
But you can desactivate the xdrive on M3 right?
Beautiful car
so fast
Bro we need max rv this car
374hp is not a lot nowadays... just think about that. Crazy times we are living in.
Yeah, I have watched so many videos where they just snark at 350-450 hp that I started to think it wouldn’t be anything crazy, until I drove a car with power in that range and was like “damn” lol. It’s definitely not terrifyingly fast but still pretty insane. Of course BMW underrates their cars too so 374 hp is more like 374 whp
This is by far the most glowing review of a 2-series coupe I've seen. Most journalists I've watched/read have been disappointed by it, as it's less a sport-luxury coupe and more a luxury-sport coupe. The focus is less on driver engagement nowadays. Also, the ///Marketing in the gauge cluster is laughable. A big ole "M" logo to greet me every time I get in the car, even though I know it's not really a true M product.
I wish if they make them manual
Is the new LCI M340i available as a RWD only?
It is not available as RWD at all unless you live in the USA! Only xdrive m340i in Europe…
where is the k20 civic??
how many km did the car have when u tried it ? Maybe you have to do at least 5000km to unlock full top speed ?
No, its always limited to that speed.
@@Errost5 dayum that sucks :(
@@wurf5336 Ah, ich sehe, deutsch - dann kurz so weil einfacher
Drivers Package gibts leider nur bei den richtigen M Modellen. Also M Performance hat das leider nicht. Die neuen M Performance Modelle laufen offenbar alle bei 254 tacho gegen ne Wand. Kanns dir vermutlich auch in ein paar Wochen sagen, dann kommt mein 240i :D
@@wurf5336 jup, die wand ist bei 254, meiner läuft da auch brutal gegen :D
Ps- it was supposed to do 235 in your current configuration
what
So how come on I guess you can cell them the “lower end” M models have better front grills than the real M models it’s as if BMW is playing mind games to get you to buy both
How much is a car BMW m240i
Жаль покупать проблематично такие машины)
I legit would have bought this over the new S650 mustang GT here in australia if they sold the RWD version. Good job BMW... why not sell the RWD version in the driest country in the southern hemisphere?!
Guess if you only care about speed just get the m240i. If you care about handling as well, obviously get the m2.
Greetings, m240i f23 owner.
LoL... 240 is 130 more than I can legally do anywhere where I live.
yes but can you get one in a manual?
no
Disgusting
The older gen looks so much better imo. Just like the new M3/M4 exterior design its ugly( at least the interior is nice). Whoever makes the new exterior designs that person should be fired.
It will be one of the last😭
This car looks like Toyota Celica LEGO version.
These get uglier with every new version! 🤦♂️
Nah mate, the one before was an ugly blob. This one, so low, so muscular is a magnificent car. Also a lot of classic BMW design ideas.
It's a magnificently beautiful car by any definition. Unlike most BMWs...
wheres max?
I can't express how much I hate BMW's new gauge cluster design (or total lack /abandonment of one).
That giant flat screen with sharp corners is so ugly.
👍👍👍👍👍
what's the point of having a 370hp car with 240 top speed ?
An ecu tuned diesel does 230 GPS LMAO
Great car but the design is just so ugly. I would go for a used M2C or M340ix modded as yours.
Where manual
I don’t know why but i think the gen1 b58 sounds better.
no opf
