Doug, I think it's quite lame you eliminated the daily/weekend score breakdowns. I can't speak for everyone but that was one of the best sections of your video presentation. Please bring it back.
Agreed, always watch these hoping to see its return.
That's because everyone calls his DougScore or opinions "stupid", so he made that part short, you'll see a commenter named "RichieRich" complaining that he gave the Handling Category a 6 on the BMW 😂
Edit: And a few replies underneath me and Klaymen 😂
@@jc_47 exactly.
It is stupid to rate a Bugatti Chiron on practicality and a Yugo on fun factor. Typical millennial, no ability to think.
@@FFE-js2zp Don't watch it then🤡, and you're an example of why he doesn't put that much effort into his scoring anymore
When Doug loses it over the vin and changes the subject to driving the car I cracked up! What a pure wholesome Doug moment, definitely in my favourite moments of Doug!
True enthusiasm is an appealing quality in people
Don't forget folks, turn playback speed to 0.5 for Stroke Doug. It's a different kind of entertainment lol
Lmao 3MW
European G42s have a VIN starting with WBA41CM (non xDrive) or WBA51CM (xDrive), even though they are also manufactured in SLP México.
Hey Doug. The middle part of the back seat folding down is a pretty normal option on European cars called a ski-gate. It allows you to take your ski's to the mountains without sacrificing seating capacity!
Or fishing rods and many more lengthy items
And a pogo stick, snow board, long jump pole,
When he said it was built in Mexico everything suddenly made sense.
Planks of wood also
Typically in America, instead of a 40/20/40 split, it'll be 60/40 and the middle seat will have a "pass thru" for the same purpose.
Quick note: 0-60 in 4 seconds was what the actual M6 could do 15 years ago.
Also, I LOVE that purple paint. It even has a cool name: Thundernight.
Can hit high 11s in the 1/4 mile bone stock. That is absolutely absurd.
We can agree tho anything that's past 60 the M6 will take it
15 years ago was a long time
almost all colors have cool names..... i own a bmw and this car is a joke for me but go ahead and buy it.
@@dllemm it's almost fast as 2008 GTR which was big deal at the time
13:15 this passthrough is for skis. BMW's have had this kind of rear seat passthrough since forever and it's really really useful for this exact purpose. My old 3 series even had a ski bag from factory
is it not for golf clubs?
@@awesomepants8864 the official term is "ski pass through" but you could get clubs in there as well.
@@awesomepants8864 Golf Clubs should fit in the trunk I think. The passthrough is kinda narrow, so I'm not sure if clubs would fit too. But skis definitely do
Not just BMW. I've owned a Lexus, Mitsubishi, Nissan and a few other cars with this feature, some from the 1980s.
yeah i immediately thought of putting my snowboard through there
Doug even parked it like a real BMW owner @5:35, very authentic review...
@@Lettuce-and-Tomatoes Porcupine have pricks on the outside
@@ChR0nos_7734 LMAO
Hey! My parking ain’t that bad 😂😂
@@DannyGrc OK dang demuro
Doug please do a small back seat compilation!! My 8 year old daughter laughs historically at that part in small car episodes.
Edit: Only time will tell if I misspelled Hysterical.
Wish I could laugh historically too
@@77R_ maybe you did
I’m guessing the 8 yr old Hysterically laughs….just helping a friend 🫡
Histrionically maybe?
A bit too soon to tell if she’s laughing historically
Doug is single handily changing the dynamics of car tech and car performance, just by reviewing and mentioning what could be better. Amazing
11:40-11:45 THAT is the first time Doug didn't make any weird noises when going in the back seat of a small 2 door car.
Doug’s trying a new quirk, shutting up 😂
How could we forget the time he farted while getting in the back seat of the RC-F that was truly something.

@@beaf8411 please tell me you’re trolling. If this is real good damn Doug’s viewers are idiots
Good. When he does that it’s so weird
These look a bit like a Holden, (2007 HSV Clubsport R8), from the back
Or Hyundai lol

Hasn't Holden bit the dust as a car manufacturer ?

@@alecbarber7913 Christ.... murican?
I have been competing at club level motorsport for over 50 years. Fifty years! I need an edge or an advantage in my class, and that advantage is not a manual gearbox. I use the paddles to change gears and over a 980metre hillclimb I am one second faster. One second may not sound a lot but places in our class is decided in hundreds of a second. F1 use a sequential, so do all rally cars and a lot of other on track cars. I'll take the auto box. And I will smile at you in peak traffic with your manual shift and the smell of the clutch . Another great video Doug and I understand the VIN numbers interest.
The rear seats are actually very useful, I carried a lot of my friends with my e82 135i rear seats. One time we even had 3 people at the back. I mean, it's small but compared to other coupes like Porche 911, mustang, etc, the rear seat is usable. I think it's primarily because of the shape of the roof.
I actually very much appreciate BMW is giving consideration to the backseat, I mean it's a plus, not a must, but with technology so advanced today, it doesn't take much to add those features to the rear.
it's a small thing to show respect to the buyer. I don't think the owner wants to be reminded all the time that "you are just a coupe, you don't deserve two extra usb-c charging ports"
Rear seat has always been usable in small BMW 2 doors, even in E30 that is totally tiny compare to new cars and still has inline 6 engine and RWD that takes a lot of room
Doug please bring back the in depth Doug score. 🙏
Please bring back the detailed Doug Score
yes !
The colour is very nice. Also, I like that sleek look of the car and the fact that it has the best type of door handles a car can have. This BMW 2 - Series has soo many good features i.e. it has touchscreen and buttons, the A/C controls are buttons with small display - best combo, the trunk has the small hinge and piston mechanism, which is waay better than that miserable other design which so many car makers use, folding rear seats etc. This is truly a well engineered and thought over car.
12:51 The split cupholder is to help support taller drinks. If you look at the lids, it has a mold to better hold a cup
Yeah a few cars do that now. Pretty handy. I had to get a special cup for mine as nothing else would fit the stupid thing lol
My friend said it's for holding onto the back part of a compact, open with the mirror facing up at them, I asked why and she just shook her head, I assume they are just really paranoid about boogers if they are constantly checking their noses in the car 🤔
6:50 Thank God BMW doesn't go with the "Touchscreen only" thing way too many Cars have, which means they listened to their Customers because many BMW Customers here in Germany did respond to a Questionnaire BMW sent them which included the Question about Physical Controls
Prost & Cheers from the Bavarian Alps
I think the iX and the new 7 series have screen only functions. Not good imo
I’ve always liked the dial for the screen. It’s way easier to use while driving
Bring back the long Doug Score!
Long Doug Score sounds wrong.
I know I shouldn´t but I keep being astonished that the "base" model in the US is always so much more powerful than the base model in Europe, including Germany where we famously have no speed limit and one can actually use all that power (on occasion, like 6am on Sunday mornings ;) ). Base here is M220i, 184hp...
I think because americans really like horsepower and just like pure power straight line speed stuff like that i mean american sporty cars that compete with bmw and merc have like 600 horsepower
Not M220i, just 220i
But what is the fuel economy on the one Doug reviewed ? By the time you include taxes that is one of the most important things to Europeans (unless you are buying a Tesla or Taycan).
p.s. Amusing thought for the day. If you were commuting into London new Hummer EV would be cheaper than this BMW. I can't wait to see one with Green number plates (indicating it is exempt from congestion charges).
@@satsumagt5284 You are right. My bad. Shoddy writing...
@@I4k_auI'd guess it's much more about pushing the message that BMW's are ultra premium in the states.
BMW slaps the M badge on everything nowadays. Definitely takes away from the nostalgia of having the real thing.
It is a M lite not a full M car.
Bmw has done that for over 9 years maybe even more, nothing new with that.
Well it is quite real thing. More hp than M3 from early 2000s. More fun too.
You can tell by the M stuff everywhere inside the car that seeing the logo is exactly what ppl want to spend their money on
Nostalgia isn't the right word but yeah I get what you mean. Makes the real M cars a little less special
Yeah but that's pretty much the real thing in that case
I love how door handles move from "showing its age" on dodge to being ok on bmw.
He's so inconsistent with this type of stuff... like 3rd row seating. Pulling a lever to lower seats in one car is the worst thing ever... the next car it's "convenient".
Doug isn't a good reviewer he's just a quirky American non-bro, so he's popular and established.
Oh come on.. it looks a lot better on this car.. and also he ain’t a robot with all the data analysis in his head cut some slack for the guy
His reviews are always inconsistent and heavily biased by his overall opinion of the car. Don't see these videos as actual reviews, they're worthless in that aspect; just see them as infotainment, because he does give you obscure trivia that actual reviews wouldn't mention.
In this case I think it’s about implementation and design. On the BMWs they’re a different shape and sit more flush to the car.
I feel like BMW is making the same car for the last 15 years, just getting it uglier as time goes on, the color of this car is cool tho.
it is
Purple makes any car look cool, though
thanos
It's what is on the inside that counts
Pointless hateful opinion
We appreciate your commitment to keep climbing on the back seats.
I have an msport 135i with the n55 and a DCT trans and it’s one of the best cars I’ve ever owned….in terms of reliability it’s a bit more expensive in terms to a other car if it’s class but it’s still More reliable than the old n54 by a long shot. My friend had a n54 and seemed to be replacing spark plugs every other month as were the only thing I’ve had to do is a valve cover and thermostat now that’s it out of warranty in 30k miles….if you keep maintaining it it’ll last bmw “reliability” has greatly improved over the past 10 or so years
BMW: The color of this car is "Thunder Night Metallic"
Doug: I'm gonna simplify this for you, it's purple
I think this vehicle is great! Price point, power, fun, and design. I do say the outgoing does look a bit more aggressive and beef. Worth of BMW, but this will do and hey the M2 hasn't event came out yet.
Amazing color! That and Plum Crazy Purple are the loveliest.
By the way, Doug, you can actually configure the middle portion of the driver screen. You have options other than map. For example, I have mine configured to show the driver assist stuff.
We're not all 6'3" - 6'4" like you Doug, some of us can fit into the back seat just fine
But some of us are 6’3 :)
As a Southern Bavarian and this being a Southern Bavarian Car, i obviously knew he was reviewing the Backseats for us as i myself am 6'4 and i was "average height" back in High School and University.
Nah but seriously, i always find it funny how Doug doesn't seem to realise that the vast Majority of People on earth are below 6'0" though he often says "If you're a tall person those backseats are not so roomy."

@Ryan Wunderlin and only 10 percent of the world males are over 6'
@Ryan Wunderlin thank you, Dr. Science!
@@jagkubas speju lietuvis:D
Dropping manual = dropping interest. I understand “faster and more efficient,” but I prefer “more engaging and fun.” Guess I’m keeping my trusty 3-Series wagon for a while longer…
I agree nobody who gets a 2 series is getting it for efficiency
It’s definitely the less preferred transmission and I think that group will only grow smaller but it should always be an option for those who want it
While the M2 has a manual take rate of about 50%, the previous M240i rate is very low. Doesn’t make business sense for BMW to certify a manual for the few of us who prefer them. The G87 M2 will offer a manual; that’s what I’ll replace my current M2 6MT with.
Thanks for the informative video I would like to ask about your opinion to get m240 or m440 if I don’t care about rear seats
The 2 series grand coupe or 4 door 2 series has been discontinued. I prefer the rear including the new rear tail lights of the new M2...and I've seen it. I love your quirks of this Bimmer. So much fun to watch...plus you get Doug's way of emphasizing things and excellent production quality. M,M,M,M,M,M,M,M how many M's were there? LOL! You missed the main function of the HUD (head's up display) besides the speed besides the radio which is the navigation: It shows you the directions and the exits including arrows and you have a side display in the center console to the side of the navigation screen. The main reason behind the HUD navigation is that you don't need to take your eyes off the road during an important exit.
The ambient lighting looks really good when it’s dark outside
I own one and no it doesn’t. That’s one of the few things I dislike about it.
@@user-le8kv4cr3f it’s not overkill, it’s subtle and a a nice touch imo.
I had a 135i for a number of years with the old N54 engine and a 6MT and RWD. Really fun car. With a simple tune they are pretty close on power with current models.
Sad the MT is gone. It was a really great transmission.
Hopefully they're more reliable now. Lots of fuel pump and injector issues and the water pumps from the factory were garbage. They fixed most of the issues with new parts at least.
Your review on the Vin Number deserves a like!
This is why I subscribe. Dopey take on the VIN. By the way, have you tried to find an MT BMW that isn't ragged?
this m-lite can do 0-60 in 3.82. Definitely a great option below the M2 and since the front ends are different, this is a viable option if you like the way this looks over the M2.
m240, m340, m440 - b58 kings with iDrive 7 -- Literally perfect cars.
And the M140i 😉
Unless you want an engaging drivers car. BMW has lost it. The M2 CS is the only real BMW left. Cadillac and Alfa Romeo are now the "ultimate driving machines"
@@jjchockey Mercedes AMG and Audi RS too
@@drippgxd not even close. The CT4V Blackwing and Giulia QV are far more engaging and fun to drive. All the Germans are numb computers. The C63S is pretty good though.
Great video
Loved it Dougie
Love your good mood, Doug at his best. :)
Make sure you get those lower rockers covered in paint protection film. It amazes me that a car manufacturer would put high gloss trim pieces, which are insanely scratch prone, on the dirtiest parts of the car. Overall a great car in my opinion, but like most are saying, whoever designed that front end needs a new job title. A bunch of random shapes thrown onto a canvas
So you like the car, but hate the person who designed it?
@@automation7295 Hey Automation, hope you're having a very automated day. Yes, you can like cars without liking everything about them, and I invite you to do the same as well
@@automation7295 man you leave some dumb comments
A week ago we stopped by our local BMW dealer to look at the M240is. The lot was nearly empty of ALL new models, they had zero 240is, one was arriving in 3 months and is already sold. They said three more wore coming after that one in about 5 months and they were already sold as well. The supply chain stories are alive and well.
A great car in a splendid colour. We're getting our BMW 3-series re-painted since we never liked the stock grey. I pick bronze, my wife wants dark green. Maybe we'll compromise on purple?
It is hilarious to me to see you film your videos in the parking lot of my old job :)
I owned the same exact car and I love it! I actually emailed you before to review it 😂
U one rich boi
Well Doug that center seat that u can put down to make a hatch is perfect 4 skies when kids sits both sides
I own the 2020 M240i and i love it! i look forward to turning it on everyday. great car
3:31 Dodge has been making traditional door handles for 20+ years. Geniuses ahead of the industry.
Dodge for life
"M" has been so INCREDIBLY watered down. They might as well just put it on all their cars at this point.
Fr...
Yes I agree bring back the Doug score 👍🏿
My F82 M4 has a similar heads up display, even colour for changing radio stations!
The rear center drops down for skis. Many BMW's have this and have had it for a LONG time.
Accurate assessment.
By far my favorite car under 60k. Side profile is awesome.. really long Hood with really short tail. Slightly reminds me of old z4m coupe in sedan style.
Literally my dream car right now. Color and everything
Love the flush door handles
The loss of the manual is a shame, however, BMW has not offered a manual in the X-Drive cars in quite a few years, so this model wouldn't have had it anyways. Maybe they'll reconsider for the RWD cars for those of us who can't afford the premium of a true M car. The hood and bulging fenders look like a carryover from the previous M2 models, so it'll be interesting to see what the new M looks like.
Not true. My 2019 440xi was manual. So quite recent
@@TheBxTurbo lol cry about not having manual when you’re too poor to afford one and never buy it
@@racksontheway659 Sounds like something a poor person would say.

Tail lights kill it for me. Looks like when Toyota was trynna look premium and futuristic in like 2014
they look like they were designed for an entirely different car
@@aomar9449 right!!!!
that purple looks sooo good. bmw did really well with this color.
Love the handles!
Take a shot every time he says *EMM* 240i
I got my M240i with the M performance parts and wow do I love the thing. Had an M440i and I overall prefer the styling on the 240.
The previous m2 looked miles beter
@@Its_Me_Romano true, but considering how BMW is destroying most of their lineup with the beaver grills, I can’t complain about this.
Love the tech in this car
Doug listening the new RHCP album at 5:45 lets go!
Really liked the original 1series styling. Saw a 135i the other day and it was so cool looking. Don’t know why they had to making this car so much bigger.
Because the 1-series went FWD so the 2-series became a slightly reduced 4-series. They cannot build a dedicated chassis only for the 2.
I got to drive these when doing pdi's at my dealer. The looks are questionable looks like a baby Camaro to me. This car handles so well with xdrive just sticks to the road so flawlessly. The m2 should be awesome
Love the purple, and the styling is a pleasant surprise given most new BMW's. The lack of a manual transmission makes it a non-starter with me though. Would I take this over a Mustang GT manual? Especially with the price difference? Not a chance!
Not everyone wants a crowd hugger
I had a 2019 gt pp and this car makes more sense in many ways. This car can be used year round , better dealer service and over 32mpg on the highway. My mustang got 26mpg rolling downhill
I waited 20s of unskipable ads to watch doug reviewing a purple bmw.
That's how much i like doug.
Only because it has no huge grill I love it
For real, why does BMW decided to make their grills hideous is beyond me.
You lost me at “dropped the manual transmission”
Americans can't drive stick anymore. They only want cars that do the driving for them. Americans hate lifting a finger to do any extra work. If something isn't easy to do, Americans won't do it! Soon people in America will have escalators instead of stairs!
Ive got this exact car with a much cooler spec though, in Thunder night... Im in San Diego too! LOL. I knew you'd dig it on the road, I hope I see you around some day.
Can't wait to get mine!
Doug, nice review! I’m nearly as tall as you, and I (barely) fit in the back seat of my M2. And I prefer to row my own gears too. It’s interesting to see M Performance models raise the bar above their full-M predecessors.
You don’t need to hedge on the future M2 version. Several prototypes of the G87 have been seen at the Nürburgring and elsewhere, with wide fenders visible under the camo. A BMW insider says it will have an S58 tuned to about 450 DIN (can’t upstage its big brothers), it will come in Competition-spec only, a 6 speed manual or ZF8 will be available, and production starts in December as 2023 models. Not sure about the first US deliveries, but I’m watching this closely.
Can’t wait to see the naked exterior, the performance of it sounds unreal though
I really love the color, I love how it looks under the sun and I'm sure the camera isn't showing how beautiful it is but it still looks great
Yeah, it looks even better in person. A great factory color for sure.
Metallic/Gloss bright colors are the best. Tired of seeing stain/matte and also white black silver colors
Looking good!!!
I really enjoy the smooth styling, perfer the interior of the 22' than the 23+. Easily tuned to 600whp
I'm not a BMW fan at all, but I find the BMW 4 series coupe (g22) already has this modern US Muscel Car retro look and I like it
I like everything but the door handles
@@anderplane2921 true that bro those hoop handles look way better
It looks like a Mustang. BMW's designers saw a Mustang and thought "hey, let's copy that but put beaver teeth on the front everyone is too distracted to realize that we copied a Mustang."
Those pilot sport 4s have a little ☆, arent those the ones developed for the m3?
And while I'd love an appreciate the effort, the car is already E90 size and weight
I just saw one in New Jersey’s it looks amazing
Hey Doug, the center pass-through is great for skis and snowboards. The center pass-through on my 06 wrx sedan looks to be near identical size as the one on this BMW and I can fit 4 people and four snowboards inside the car. Makes it a very practical ski car.
Personally, I think this look really nice. It has a unique design that looks bold and is something different. My only issue is a lack of a manual transmission. Having a stickshift and RWD on this would make it an absolute blast of a smaller car to drive. I'm sure it's really fun nevertheless, but I think a stick would fit this car perfectly.
You must never have driven the bmw 8 speed auto
I like how it looks too...even better than the outgoing model. Now can BMW just make one with RWD, manual trans, manual seats, no cameras, no sunroof, no rear HVAC, 4 speakers (not 14!), and fixed grille fins and sell it to me for $35K?
The video starts at 1:10.
I love the big grill on the m3 and m4 but this one Def stands out
The M240i would pair well with the A90 Toyota Supra. Great channel Doug!
Doug: "The New 2022 BMW M240i Hasn't Been Ruined Yet"
Also Doug: "and also gone for the 2022 model year is the manual transmission"
Why do people care about manual transmission so much . I never see the effect in sales either
@@offradar31 lol have you even driven one 🤣
@@Shabbe02 ya it was cool but if you in a big city like Houston it’s the worst thing ever
@@mgoblue0970 different strokes for different folks . It’s fun but not my cup of tea.
I agree, I drove my 6 speed Mustang to school and work for three years before moving to a small town, stop and go traffic really kills the fun.
Ive driven one of these hard. including a 4000 rpm launch in sport plus. The power and sounds it makes are amazing combined with the small body it drives great feels so sturdy
"okay it's time to drive it" lol i love these videos
Doug, the folding seats could accommodate skis or a snowboard.
I love the backseat stuff in the coupe! It’s the extra stuff that is always better than less! And that trunk space for a small car is awesome
And it makes sense, not everyone in the world is 6'3 and this car will sell better for younger people that like to drive with friends in the car. Im also sure it's an option, so it's good thinking by BMW.
Edit: it's standard, props to BMW
@@jgibao I’m pretty sure I would fit in there. Mostly kids and young teens would sit in the back not giants like Doug
@@drippgxd also it bugs me that he never really sits back so you can't actually tell how roomy or un-roomy it is haha
A car with tons of logos is compensating for something. Thinking how Hummer threw that name everywhere in their interior.
All those logos are optional
Hello sir,
Could you someday do a review on the 230i as well?
If it had a manual, I could overlook everything else.
In Germany you can get the new M3 and M4 with a 6 speed manual. I’d like to think the future M2 will adopt the same.
Thanks for letting me know. I'm not going to watch the rest of this. You saved me about 20 minutes. Thanks.
manual transmissions are shit compared to modern autos or dkgs
@@sinenomine4540 still way more fun to drive in 99% of driving than any auto. People buy manuals for fun.
@@sinenomine4540 Except manuals are more reliable, fun, and retain value. There's a reason manual spec cars drag in twice as much money.
Awesome color, but unfortunately looks worse than the previous gen. I guess we will see how the M version looks when it comes out.
It will get worse. The pig grille is getting bigger
@@ustradingdiary I don’t mind the size of the grill, to be honest. I have an M4 comp coming and think it looks fantastic. I also love the new Supra styling as well, so my opinion isn’t based on “new is always worse” nonsense. This 2 series just has a million angles and almost none of them flow with each-other. Its not unbearable to look at, but its certainly a step down visually.
Look s like a muscle car
The screen in the doors can also be set up so you can get one more M badge with the blue red and white stripes
13:31 "never exist"
yes
good doug
So happy Doug has been doing sign language in his videos for all these years !
I think it looks like a z4 with a solid roof on it.
Great color , nice wheels, great car, but not a fan of that exterior design.
The previous M2 looked better IMHO !1
Significantly, I agree. But at least they didn't give it the ugly rear end from the Gran coupe. It's not terrible, but it's sad that "not terrible" is the best thing I can say about most new BMWs.
the only issue with map in the cluster and in the HUD is that none of them work with apple car play / android auto when using waze which is the only useful navigation system
Makes me love my old analog 128i Sport 6 MT even more. While the ZF is magic...no manual? ( I have 2 of them in the stable) Analog Gauges, Analog Hydraulic power steering, real clutch for the win, I wouldn't trade my 128 straight up for this....
I actually like the styling. No manual is a drawback but other than that, it's pretty damn nice.
The looks have personality.
