Great choice. Always fancied one of these in M Performance guise. Love the spec - ideal would add sunroof and adaptive suspension too but they are like gold dust! Those bronze wheels look awesome against the paintwork - don’t change them. Think some M Performance side sill stickers would finish it off nicely. Looking forward to future videos! 👍🏽
Got mine 1 week ago, from 07-'19. Same colour as your's. Great car. Only need's a bit of a stance look and a proper exhaust. Can't wait to start modifying. Happy to see another m240i owner that know's what he wants. Greetings from Belgium
Having just watched Ben Rayne's latest post, him selling his M3, for just a split second I thought that might be the new car ! The M240i looks fab and just the spec you wanted, so congratulations. Looking forward to the future content.
Hi, Joel! My name is also Joel, and I also have a M240i. Have had it for four years now (2017 model) and never tire of driving it. Mine has a Dinan Stage 1 tune, CAI and midpipe. It hauls ass! You made a fine choice - I'll be owning mine for a very, very long time as I think it's one of the greatest performance bargains, for what you're getting, in the market now. Cheers, mate!
Just found your channel as I am picking up this car on the weekend also from Liverpool and also with 27,000 in full black with red leather and all the optional extras. Got wireless charging but, not the heated steering wheel. Your videos have been great information and help for me buying mine
every time i watch these vids its some kid owning one, back in my day my mates strived to get an xr2i! but i think insurance companies actually said NO back then too lol
Lovely car mate. I knew when you reviewed that black 240i that you'd end up getting one. I bought an m235i just over a month ago and I'm still grinning. Yours is a nice colour and awesome spec. Hope you keep it for a while. Great channel and awesome vids mate. .. That nurburgring vid with the car on fire at the end was epic. Pure emotion and adrenaline...for what it's worth... you gained a new subscriber 👍
A week ago when you asked us to suggest what your new car might be I guessed it would be one of these. Well either this or a classic Reliant Robin, but I think that maybe the mighty 850cc three wheeler was probably too much for you to handle so you went for the M240i. Good choice, enjoy! 👍
Hi Joel. Congrats on the purchase and I think this car suits you very much! My personal opinion regarding the wheels is that they are the right ones! The colour combination with the body and the look of the car go well. Can't wait to see the first mods on it :) Enjoy the bimmer buddy!
Nice car Joel. Well done. Think a trip to see Mike at Motec would be good for some lowering springs, wheel spacers and Remus exhaust. Wheels may have to go.
Nice car Joel, love the spec and the red leather oozes class. Delighted to hear you're holding onto the Zed - hope it stil gets a run out on the channel every so often, but it'll be interesting to hear how you get on with the M240i. Enjoy! ;)
Excellent choice, and great spec. I love the interior colour and the wheels. I hope you enjoy the car and I’m looking forward to future videos featuring this car. Cheers
congrats Joel! you inspired me to buy a Z4 e85 3.0 , had it for 1.5 years, sold it and traded my daily, a Mazda CX-3 for a 540i G30. What can I say, this engine is amazing and you always find excuses to use the car!
I had a feeling it would be the 240i! A great addition to the channel and the right decision to wait until you found the perfect spec. Looking forward to the adventures you have with this car
Well done chap... nice looking car and the right spec. I got the wife a new convertible in March and same spec. So only just onto 1200 miles with Covid lock downs 🤨. Will be following your adventures and thanks for tip on RBM in Hook as that’s 25 mins from me. Personally I think the M2/M240 is the spiritual successor to the original M3 in both size and performance
Great car! I am looking into M140/240s to buy after winter and also was looking into more yt content about that (because I watched everything). So keep it up :)
It’s possibly my next daily myself or an S3 saloon after a GTI PP. The engine has it in the bag for me for the sound alone. Thanks for the review it’s been helpful.
Swap out that silver interior trim with the M Performance Carbon Fiber and Alcantara trim package. Don’t forget the steering wheel trim piece, the gear shift and surround piece and the e brake. 👍🏼
absolutely love those wheels. Got the same (car) color on my m235i... Love my car but im sure yours is a little better whilst quicker... Congrats~! I recommend wheel spacers as well
I have one and after owning ford escort cosworth r/s escorts st focuses and r/s focus I changed to bmw to give me a buzz starting low 335i m sport tried m3 and m5 also Audi rs5 but one day walked into bmw dealership as I saw a new m240i as I walked out the door speaking about m 3 a sales woman who was passing said don’t bother that m240i is quicker all round It was I bought it never looked back had 5 years now and still pissing m3 drivers off its quick but keep good tyres on it. Pilot SUPER spot
Get a aftermarket exhaust my suggestion is active exhaust. This thing really opens up and sounds amazing with it. I have a 2019 m240i x drive. Mines got a financial exhaust system on it. Amazing daily
Hey Joel, congratulations! M240i is great value for money and a perfect daily. I went with used Boxster S 981 as daily after driving M2C that I could get new for the same money. Still keeping my Z4 :-)
Crazy amount of horsepower in modern cars. back in the 90's, 160bhp was classed as a hot hatch. in the 2000's it was 200 bhp. now its madness. I would lose my license :) . Nice car mate.
Fantastic colour and spec, ideal modern car for a young man like you. You can’t go wrong with that boasted power, the Z4 is sports car with NA and completely different to this performance Coupe for a more contemporary drive. Folks Joel’s is keeping the Z4 and yes he knows that M240i is not a Z4😜 Enjoy in good health!
Great car mate,and nice colour choice too,get yourself a quicksilver exhaust and an airbox and top quality stage 2 remap,and you will surprise yourself, sadly the suspension will need upgrading which will include the diff,but hey,its only my suggestion,look forward to your interpretation, good luck mate....
Really love the car! Having been a lucky one to have seen your car in person already I can say that the wheels look great with the car! Looking forward to more videos!!!
The car looks stunning Joel! I personally would go for a cat back in the future, but if you use it as a daily I don't know if that's a good option for you. Congrats on the purchase though! Looking forward for your next videos! Keep them coming!
Well done mate, good choice of car! Spec looks decent. I had an e85 Z4 exactly like your old one and they're not easy cars to replace, they're a fine balance between raw and refined. You do look slightly underwhelmed with it tbh, with newer cars come better sound proofing etc which does detract from the fun, but I have no doubt it'll have a shouty pipe on it in no time, you'll adjust to the differences to the Z4 and inevitably become a fan of the modern creature comforts!
Glad you like it! Yeah you’re right, the Z4 gives me more of a buzz to drive for sure - I think with a few modifications though the M240i will come alive a bit
@@itsjoel I think it will come alive a lot. I currently have a lovely 981 cayman S and I'm actually considering an M140i next. Not because its better, but because its a jack of all trades and incredible value for money. Once they're up to around the 450bhp mark they're nutty
Hi Joel, I bought my z4 a few month after you got yours, decided miself watching your videos, and have been looking for this car 235/240i! you’ve set the bar quite high this time :P
Good choice, I prefer the m240 over the m140 as I've always been a big fan of coupés. The B58 is a good engine too, lots of potential, same engine as the GR Supra 👌🏻
Great cars Joel - good work! The B58 sounds awesome with a PCW Exhaust modification so book that in. Non-adaptive suspension is the way to go because coilovers are cheaper to fit (no need to delete the adaptive element). It will transform the handling. Good to see another BMW in the fleet, I have an M5 alongside my Z4 :)
Only thing that I don't agree with, it's the electric seats. This is more of a sports car rather than a luxury one. I think I would go for manual seats and spare a 50-60 kg (i think?) off the weight of the car. I mean, I'm not adjusting my seats every day. And I reckon the most expensive thing to do to a car, is to make it lighter.
Great find Joel! I like the gray and red and the wheels combo. Now it’s going to take you a while to ween off your habit of looking at M240i’s coming up for sale every waking hour 🤣 Congrats!
Nice car, like the grey and red, will be nice to see some 2 series content, I have a M235i which i love. Can recommend Bob Williams for the exhaust if you want a better noise.
You're right about the electric seats, my 330ci has it and pretty much all do. So when looking for a 235i I wanted the electric seats still and it's very difficult to find
Nice spec! Your electric seats have lumbar support (4-way switch) which can make your lower back hurt after a while as your back will not be used to it. Play around with it and you will get used to it
Really hope you guys like the car! So happy I’ve finally been able to make this happen.
Brilliant choice, it was the next logical step from the Z3!
Yes great choice and a good spec, would love one of these myself. Great stuff, looking forward to.the content with this!
Beautiful choice Joel, love the spec and colour combination. Congratulations, looking forward to lots of excellent future content from you as usual!
Great choice. Always fancied one of these in M Performance guise. Love the spec - ideal would add sunroof and adaptive suspension too but they are like gold dust!

Did almost exactly the same Z4 to M140i. You need to map this Joel be interested in your way forward with this one
It's honestly the best looking M235/M240i I've ever seen.
It looks so perfect, it'll be hard to improve!
Love it mate,well done!
Definitely the best spec I’d seen in months of looking!
Really enjoyed my 240i, that B58 engine and that ZF gearbox work perfectly and it flys
Got mine 1 week ago, from 07-'19. Same colour as your's. Great car. Only need's a bit of a stance look and a proper exhaust. Can't wait to start modifying. Happy to see another m240i owner that know's what he wants. Greetings from Belgium
Fantastic!
Fair play, straight into it. No messing about. None of this see you next video stuff.
Having just watched Ben Rayne's latest post, him selling his M3, for just a split second I thought that might be the new car ! The M240i looks fab and just the spec you wanted, so congratulations. Looking forward to the future content.

Did almost exactly the same, Z4 to an M140i, no regrets here
Well done pal! Great spec btw - that's just how I would spec it
Cheers mate! Hopefully you can have a go in it soon!
I also have a 17 M240i🔥🔥🔥 Mineral Grey
I’m trying to save up for a chape daily, and garage keep mine and then do a couple things to it.
How reliable is it?
Nice car Joel. Well done. Think a trip to see Mike at Motec would be good for some lowering springs, wheel spacers and Remus exhaust. Wheels may have to go.
I’ll be paying him a visit very soon
Nice buy Joel!! Great spec, lovely colour combo. Love the wheels!
Cheers mate!
Great spec Joel, nice one congrats 👍
Thanks so much!
It's Joel you just need the V10 M6 now to complete the perfect trio 😊
Very nice! I just picked up a 2007 Z4 3.0i 6 speed with a manual roof ;) Keep up the nice work, I enjoy your channel immensely.
Thanks so much, I hope you’re enjoying the Z4
100% my spec i would personally choose also! Looks great!! 👍🏼
Very nice motor Joel. Wishing you many many miles of driving pleasure. Have fun mate!
Thanks so much
Great choice Joel. Had one myself in white pal and u will not be disappointed. 👍🏻👌
Cheers mate
Nice car Joel, love the spec and the red leather oozes class. Delighted to hear you're holding onto the Zed - hope it stil gets a run out on the channel every so often, but it'll be interesting to hear how you get on with the M240i. Enjoy! ;)
Thanks buddy, more Z4 content to come too don’t worry!
Great work Joel, great evolution subscribed to you when you had 250 subscribers
Thanks so much for supporting the channel
Great car! 😍 I just bought a M140i last week! Absolutely love it
Awesome!
@@itsjoel it is! Perfect car. Absolutely rapid when you want it to be, and still comfortable and economical when you need it to be
Excellent choice, and great spec. I love the interior colour and the wheels. I hope you enjoy the car and I’m looking forward to future videos featuring this car. Cheers
Thank you Jim!
Decent choice, grey colour combo on the wheels and body work! Do miss that z4 crackle and pop.
You’ll be seeing more of the Z4 don’t worry, and soon the m240i will be sounding great
Welcome to the m240/b58 club sir! 😎
congrats Joel! you inspired me to buy a Z4 e85 3.0 , had it for 1.5 years, sold it and traded my daily, a Mazda CX-3 for a 540i G30. What can I say, this engine is amazing and you always find excuses to use the car!
Thanks so much Raul
For some reason I thought you were going to buy a 135i, however this a sweet sweet ride. Congrats mate!
Thanks Christian
Enjoy Joel. Love my 2020 M240i!
Thank you!
Congrats mate! Good choice, looking forward to watch the new videos about the car 👍
Cheers matey!
I had a feeling it would be the 240i! A great addition to the channel and the right decision to wait until you found the perfect spec. Looking forward to the adventures you have with this car

Perfect, hopefully the vids from this car will be useful!
It’s possibly my next daily myself or an S3 saloon after a GTI PP. The engine has it in the bag for me for the sound alone. Thanks for the review it’s been helpful.
Very nice, Joel! Congratulations buddy!
Thank you mate!
Love it. Great choice. The wheel colour mix is perfect 👌🏴
Very cool car mate! Personally it may be a little bit to expensive for me but its great anyway. Have fun with it
Thanks so much
Yes Joel! One of my fav car you tubers keep going my friend 👍🏽
Thanks so much!
Swap out that silver interior trim with the M Performance Carbon Fiber and Alcantara trim package. Don’t forget the steering wheel trim piece, the gear shift and surround piece and the e brake. 👍🏼
Love it! Got one myself, sure you will enjoy. XHP gearbox flash is a game changer
absolutely love those wheels. Got the same (car) color on my m235i... Love my car but im sure yours is a little better whilst quicker... Congrats~! I recommend wheel spacers as well
Thanks so much, wheel spacers are done, video very soon 😊
Fabulous choice (same color and interior spec as mine)!
Awesome!
I have one and after owning ford escort cosworth r/s escorts st focuses and r/s focus I changed to bmw to give me a buzz starting low 335i m sport tried m3 and m5 also Audi rs5 but one day walked into bmw dealership as I saw a new m240i as I walked out the door speaking about m 3 a sales woman who was passing said don’t bother that m240i is quicker all round It was I bought it never looked back had 5 years now and still pissing m3 drivers off its quick but keep good tyres on it. Pilot SUPER spot
Looks a nice example! Definitely needs the MP Diffuser though. I fitted one on my 235i yesterday and it makes a massive difference.
That’s the same thing that happened to me when I went to go test drive my m235i while trying to open the bonnet so embarrassing
Amazing spec although having driven an m140i with adaptive, I had to get one with adaptive with mine. Look forward to mods in the future, subbed🤝
Thanks for the subscription buddy. Don’t know how I didn’t realise, but I’ve since found out that my car does indeed have the adaptive option!
@@itsjoel That’s crazy, your car is monster spec then! You must’ve been so happy to find that out 😂
Nice, my neighbor has one and gets my attention every time he drives past, even though I’m in a black e85
Wait...
WHHHHHAAAAATTTTT?!
... incredible purchase mate! Love it!
Glad you like it!
The wheels look like those on the M2 CS. Congrats on your new car!
They are quite similar actually!
I have Z4, Z4 coupe content on my channel. and a N54 335 build coming soon
Get a aftermarket exhaust my suggestion is active exhaust. This thing really opens up and sounds amazing with it. I have a 2019 m240i x drive. Mines got a financial exhaust system on it. Amazing daily
Hey Joel, congratulations!
M240i is great value for money and a perfect daily.
I went with used Boxster S 981 as daily after driving M2C that I could get new for the same money.
Still keeping my Z4 :-)
Lovely motor, lots of fun to be had (traction off)! I'm starting to get the impression that you like a Beema!
Seem to be ending up with them a lot!
@@itsjoel they've got character, not like a lot of bland stuff out there.
B58 is a beast ! Congrats man 👌🏾
Cheers Aaron

Great car for the upcoming winter! :) Well done!
Very nice spec, well bought! Not my favourite exterior design (modern bmws right..) but prob the exact spec I’d buy
Glad you like the spec!
Really love the car! Having been a lucky one to have seen your car in person already I can say that the wheels look great with the car!
Looking forward to more videos!!!
You were one of the first to see it!
The car looks stunning Joel! I personally would go for a cat back in the future, but if you use it as a daily I don't know if that's a good option for you. Congrats on the purchase though! Looking forward for your next videos! Keep them coming!

Love the look, those wheels are just perfect. Congrats!
Thank you
Congrats mate, nice ride!
Cheers buddy
Called it! Looks really sick mate!

Hi Joel, I bought my z4 a few month after you got yours, decided miself watching your videos, and have been looking for this car 235/240i! you’ve set the bar quite high this time :P
Personally thing the wheels look banging! Really good looking.
Thank you!
Congrats! Very nice M240i! What spec's are your wheels? They do the car justice! I had BBS CH-R's on my old one but I really like yours.
Thanks! They’re Bola B11s in Matte Bronze
Nice looking car Joel. Love the red interior!
Cheers Craig
It looks really good mate
Cheers buddy!
Stunning! Really really nice! Love the spec 🔥🔥🔥
Cheers mate!
Love the new car Joel. happy you went with a bmw . 👍
Glad you like it
congratulations Joel. I'd love to own that car or at least the M140i Shadow edition.
Thank you
You’re saying “at least” an M140 when they are effectively 99% the same car 😂😂
Now Joel finally has his cupholder😂
Awesome car mate. Actually really love the wheels
Good choice, I prefer the m240 over the m140 as I've always been a big fan of coupés. The B58 is a good engine too, lots of potential, same engine as the GR Supra 👌🏻
I can’t wait to start modifying it
I'm proud of you Joel....nice whip man
Great cars Joel - good work! The B58 sounds awesome with a PCW Exhaust modification so book that in. Non-adaptive suspension is the way to go because coilovers are cheaper to fit (no need to delete the adaptive element). It will transform the handling.
Good to see another BMW in the fleet, I have an M5 alongside my Z4 :)
Fantastic. I have actually since found out I’ve got the adaptive suspension option haha
@@itsjoel Well you'll just need the delete modules then... get modding!
I like it colour + red interior, even the bronze wheels! Strange to think you are already considering changing it in a year. What have you in mind?
Congrats for the car!
Thank you
You now have cup holders 9:43 !!!!!!! Congrats Joel the car is LOVELY!!!!
Haha thank you so much!
Only thing that I don't agree with, it's the electric seats. This is more of a sports car rather than a luxury one. I think I would go for manual seats and spare a 50-60 kg (i think?) off the weight of the car. I mean, I'm not adjusting my seats every day. And I reckon the most expensive thing to do to a car, is to make it lighter.
Surely they’re not that heavy!? Haha but good point
Great choice. Fast car. But also i'm surpriesed that you've not go with... Z4 e89 35is because its much more better lookin
Great find Joel! I like the gray and red and the wheels combo. Now it’s going to take you a while to ween off your habit of looking at M240i’s coming up for sale every waking hour 🤣 Congrats!
Nice car, like the grey and red, will be nice to see some 2 series content, I have a M235i which i love. Can recommend Bob Williams for the exhaust if you want a better noise.
You're right about the electric seats, my 330ci has it and pretty much all do. So when looking for a 235i I wanted the electric seats still and it's very difficult to find
It’s mad isn’t it, over time they’ve cheaped out on standard options
Looks amazing, great spec, enjoy enjoy enjoy! Love the wheels
Nice spec! Your electric seats have lumbar support (4-way switch) which can make your lower back hurt after a while as your back will not be used to it. Play around with it and you will get used to it
Cheers Richard
Wheels are stunning 👌👌
Thanks Luke!
I like it. Its a spec i would choose bar red seats. Love the wheels.
Just got one and liked your comments
Yes my friend! Love this! Will have to sort out another collab and I’ll bring along my new addition 😉
Fantastic sounds great!
Go for a centrepipe resonator delete, that way you keep the valves in the back box esc...
