Epic indeed… Thanks Joe, I’ve had 3 mlites over the last 6 years all off TRL and all inspired purchases through watching your videos over the years… I ordered an M240i Xdrive in Brooklyn Grey two weeks ago and this review has reassured me that I absolutely made the right choice. 🙌🙌🙌
@@DC5dotty I got an NHS discount which was too good to turn down. Don’t want to give % on here. I’m sure the dealerships will start discounting early NY. 👍
Great car but can’t get over that rear end. One thing I love about my M340 is that there isn’t a single angle that looks bad. Surprised BMW didn’t down tune the engine to bring power below the M340 and 440. Good on them for that.
Can’t say I’m a fan of the 340i look from any angle. Just my opinion. It’s on the boring & conservative side but beauty is in the eye on the beholder 👌🏻
I have a M340i as well and my only gripe about the design is it doesn’t have great road presence. Like there’s nothing that blows you away. I’m current doing some mods that we’ll help do that do. This M240i will turn heads as is.
@@dewaynesummers8105 Spot on here. Standard (excepting the tailpipes) there's no real differentiator to, say a 330i. I have a Sunset Orange Metallic 340 but had the performance kit fitted and it gives it a totally different dimension. Just love it as both my daily driver that can be a beast when it needs to.
I think the M240 is optimized for the road and the M2 adds more juice and dynamics for the track. As a daily driver, the M240 hots the sweet spot. Which is why I have one coming. Fully loaded with the performance pack.
Almost every M performance ( M light ) car is better then full M car for most people and every day driving. Your reviews comes from the heart that why they are honest. It’s actually similar way like BMW M division been thinking for ages. They won’t be able to do it much longer. Let’s enjoy this car it may be the very last model like this. Future classic I guess.
Has to be the Best BMW in many a year. And that is saying something. BMW are smashing it! M4, M3 and on. And yet this is just about perfect in every sense. [And personally the rear is stunning!] Absolute perfection. A classic already. Thank You. Amazing.
Hey Joe, appreciate the video! I picked up my 2022 about 45 days ago, and absolutely love it. Mine is the full blackout with black rims, and I've been approached regularly by people wanting to get a closer look. It's my first BMW, and I'm thoroughly satisfied with my purchase!
@@mstegs5477 just watched it, none the less less than 4.5 seconds to 100kph still a very impressive bit of kit. Id like to see it in the flesh to make my final judgement
0-60 YAWN more like. What is it with the obsession of 0-60 ? It doesn't make a car any better to drive, or more dynamically capable, or better steering, or etc .......
Been waiting for this one, and what a great review! Good video, fantastic camera angles, and thorough descriptions of interior, exterior and driving impressions. Thank you Joe 🙏
Joe, I just want to thank you for this very detailed review. I picked up this model last week in Brooklyn grey and absolutely love everything about it. Still breaking it in right now but can't wait to use more of that power soon. Couldn't be happier with my first BMW.
I had a M240i auto with adaptive suspension. Loved that car, almost the same size as the E46 M3. Just specced M240i xdrive, purple, adaptive, head up £50,940. No delivery time frame quoted any where. Pleased to see BMW have decided to fit proper tyres this time. “Now if I sell a kidney, trade in the 440i coupe can I afford one?” Joe you have a lot to answer for😉 I purchased the M240i and 440i coupe after your great videos, please keep them coming.
What a car, very happy to see that new M240i picks up the torch from the previous small M lites and moves the game on. It’s important that BMW has a small performance coupe that isn’t an M car. Looks like xdrive combined with b58 is quite a leveller on the road when comparing it to the full fat M cars. Great video 🔥
Great video, Joe, as always. That's a proper BMW coupe, a real drivers car. The engine / exhaust sound is so good and performance is epic. The drivetrain versatility is welcome too. Two things that could set the sales back a bit might be the price and the exterior design. This new 2 series might be another step closer to Cayman territory, IMO.
One of the best reviews of the M240i I've seen until now. Ordered mine last week and I'm so excited to get it. P.S.: my former car is an M2, but as a daily, it's just too harsh for me now after 3 years.
So glad this is the first full drive video of the M240i I’ve seen Joe. Really enjoyed it, I have the previous gen M240i so hope to get one of these when it’s a more affordable used proposition. Will be holding off electric as long as possible.
Man, just what I needed, You’ve just reconfirmed all my thoughts and hopes about this piece of art! I’m 1000% sure now this will be my next and last petrol car before changing to this electric thingies… 👌🏽
Joe, watched your vids since the start mate. The quality, editing, gains on the videos since then have been mega, just keep getting better and better. Another great vid, keep it up.
Most people making comments about the back end of the car haven’t seen anything but pics and videos, in real life it’s much better. The M240 is a sexy, fun and fast car.
This new 240i looks great! Has a lot to live up to! Will be good to see one in the flesh! Great they had you out there for the press release! Video was brill! Next gen M2 will be a fire breather!
Amazing review Joe! Like all your reviews, I always get exciting watching your amazing and comprehensive reviews. Your definitely setting a whole new level of car reviews. Thanks mate!
Great review Joe. Thank you Mr Achilles, I snapped mine this week 🤕 and my M240i is due end of January. You’ve given me a boost to get fit to be able to drive it properly.
Sir, Love the Channel, and you convinced me that this would be my Retired old Dude Car, lol. Built a Brooklyn Grey, Red interior, M240i Performance Pack, loaded. Thanks and keep Reviewing…
Brilliant vid, Joe. I love your knowledge and sheer enthusiasm for the BMW brand. I’m really pleased that the car is so good because I’ve more or less made up my mind to buy one as a replacement for the Mk7.5 Golf R I had which I sold last summer 👌🏼
I'm so excited for this. I have a 2014 M235i and this has pry moved the needle enough to upgrade. Mine is sooo usable reliable fast and just a fantastic car even at 90k miles.
I'm so excited to see this review Joe. Been waiting an age to see a review. Was thinking of being sensible and go electric next. But this has changed by mind. That sound of the 6 cylinder! Have to have one last hurrah with another m240i I reckon now! Great work, and very jealous!
Thank you Joe ,for this first drive video 👌i'm waiting and looking for tests and videos of this car for weeks .Tomorrow i'll go to my dealer and order one 😍best regards ✌️
Ahhhh. BMW finally got it right. Love this car. Great video, joe I can feel your excitement about this car and I like your homage to the Original M-lights circa.
What an amazing looking autumn day in [Germany]! In context of the environment, the car looks great! Nice to see another step in BMW's evolution, and as you say it captures elements of their classics too... nice! Now I'm looking forward to autumn again in New Zealand 🇳🇿
@@marcelb9708 oh... true! 🤣 The M240i looks great against the GERMAN backdrop! And it is also autumn in the UK of course... my favourite time if the year.
@@BryceBrown1 Thanks very much Yes, it is driven in Germany, I live in Bavaria and I think we have pretty good roads here 😁. Ordered in M Brooklyn gray metallic 🥰. The M Sport E61 is also a very nice car 👍. Greetings to New Zealand
I like the fact that BMW have put the bonnet bulge and flared rear arches on the normal 2 series. It makes the M240i a much more attractive proposition for a daily and with all the restrictions we petrolheads are likely to face over the next few years it might even make more sense than a full M car unless you spend a lot of time on track.
Your reviews are fantastic Joe. Just watched your newer 220i review and great to see the references to this vid. Interesting your comment about the M240i reminding you of the 3.0l CSL as the first time I saw this car it reminded me of the 635CSi (minus the shark front end of course). I love that … one of my all time favourites. I plan to get an M240i one day - the main reason apart from the fact they look good, is that beautiful B58 and 8 speed gearbox. I believe in time, this will be seen as BMW’s best ever engine that they have produced. It’s over engineered and left in standard form will be ultra reliable. I have an X4 M40i which suits my work, especially the gravel roads. I love the sound of this machine and can only imagine what it’d be like to have this package in lower slung, lighter frame than an X4. An M2 would be too much of a stretch for me and really wouldn’t be able to justify the extra $$ when the M240i has that magical mixture of looks, performance, tech and comfort all rolled into one. Thanks for the awesome review. Your reviews are simply the best BMW reviews on RUclips.
Great review Joe👍👍. You have actually outpaced the so called 'big guns'. So until you do a track battle video this may well be the last road review video i watch on the car. Well done
Joe you made me buy a M235i many years ago looks like I’m going to be buying the new M240i been really looking forward to your review excellent as usual thanks
Another blinding video Joe, keep up the good work. I currently have a 330i hire car whilst my 67 plate golf is being repaired and have the BMW bug big time now. May be calling up TRL deals for a quote on one of these in part ex. Keep em coming Joe, having followed you in the early days of the blue 135i you’ve come so far. Congrats on your success mate 👌🏼😎

Been waiting for this. Out of all the RUclipsrs your review was the one I was looking forward to the most. I'm very close to pulling g the trigger on one of these in Brooklyn Grey. I'd love to see a video from you comparing the M240i xdrive to the A45s

The fact that it has an M-diff in the rear makes this 'M-lite' a real game changer, especially with the Xdrive.

Thanks for filming such a great review from this car. I love the new 2 series. Greetings from Bavaria
Nice review. Car magazine gave it 5 stars for handling. Bimmer back on form now. M2 should be brilliant.
Been waiting for this. Out of all the RUclipsrs your review was the one I was looking forward to the most. I'm very close to pulling g the trigger on one of these in Brooklyn Grey.
I'd love to see a video from you comparing the M240i xdrive to the A45s
As an owner of the current 240 I neeeeeed this car! Omg
Bought this car based on your review for a daily driver! Keep up the awesome reviews!!
Great to hear thank you 👌
