Dude, you’re driving a car that makes you happy. Don’t pay mind to the haters. Congrats on the m240
Haha thanks dude! New car each year 👀
In real world driving the M lites are pound for pound soooo good. Yes they aren’t M cars, but in the real world it’s the sweet spot.
I did say before you even got this Tim,M2 is a lovely car but I personally prefer the B58,it's a peach of an engine,in the 240i you got now,once you a chassis that can dance,and brakes that inspire confidence,your smiles will increase,plus your bank balance don't get slaughtered, win win bro,happy motoring Tim....
We’ll said it glad that some people get it! Haha have a good Sunday mate
I own a 2018 m240 but have been thinking of going to a m2c... Found this video really interesting 👍
Thanks dude!
Can't agree with this more out of the box nothing compares to an M2/M2C as an M-Performance vehicle, but the sheer price, affordability and modification list that can be done to a B58 is something to definitely be considered. As a platform I much prefer the B58 as I own an S58 vehicle, for everyday fun you just can't beat it. Awesome video and definitely be good to get you out in the Mini JCW (GoKart).
Can’t wait bro! Also need to get you out on track with me on video next time for sure!
I went from a m140 to a og m2,
Had it over 5 years now and love it, it’s the full package.
Same what I moved from too, great car! Loved mine!
I have driven both the OG M2 and a M240i and love both. Can't go wrong with either. Ideally, BMW would have put the B58 in the OG M2.
The dream combo!
Ive discovered the same thing since taking my M2 on track upgrading/replacing wheels, tyres and brakes is way more expensive, but im still keeping it
Fair play mate, like I said I’d happily have kept mine but wasn’t using it as much and it was a well equipped car with 17k that was only getting used 1/2 times a month and that’s a waste of big money imo
@@TimWilliamsHD It does make sense you can build a fully track prepped M240 for the price of the M2 and probably have some cash left over 🤔
I went from a M240i to a M2 comp about 4 months ago the M240i is perfect for daily driving and to be fair the comps speed is only really noticeable over 50mph+ and they hit 500bhp on S1, I mainly went to the comp for looks alone tho
100% agree bud
Im at the same position... i own a m240i and realy thinking about getting an m2, because of the agressive look, i realy love. But not sure if its a smart decision...
@@OoDaIstEroOlol I’d swap bumpers or something
Dude. I get it!! .. I've just bought a 2023 M240 over an M2 (Previously had Cayman's, JCW & GP's) I track 4 times a year... and take multiple European road trips. I test drove an M2 Competition and it's RAW! IF you track regularly ...GET it!! However on British roads, as an everyday driver the M240 is BETTER to live with... and faster! it IS VERY heavy however and gets a bit unruly after 8/10ths on a bumpy road ( This is where the M2 wins) but who drives 9/10th/10/10ths all the time!! I am very happy and that B58..... hhmmnnn
Oh for sure! I’d happily have one of those over a m2 for all year round happiness 🤩
Spot on, on the real world they’re just spot on.
Nice vid 🙂. I had an e46 M3 back in the mid 2000s and you're not wrong on the cost of things!! Current car bought last week is M240i mid 2019 with only 24k on the clock - love the engine notes in Sport mode. BMW inspection on it two days ago, clean bill of health, new oil+filter, and new coolant, and its time to try it out a bit more now that i've baselined the essiential bits and know its all good 🙂 No substitute for a BMW M-lite or M car for handling IMO, unless you want a Caterham 7. But they are only really a track day car, defo not a daily drive.
I had a brand new F80 M3 and ran it along side a new 135u manual, I would often take the 135 out on the road more because I could drive it harder on the road without stupid speeds.
I now have an M2 Comp and I'm considering downgrading to an M140 fir the same reasons.
Lockdown hit I've had it 16 months n done 4k in it.
Exactly right mate, driving a car in anger is always more enjoyable when car costs less and when there’s more to do 😂
@@TimWilliamsHD it's more fun to drive a slow car fast than fast car slow, not that the 135 was anything near slow.
Another thing went in some driving days bmw only around Wales I was on M3 there loads of 140s etc amd they weren't far off me.
I was thinking is my car really 42k better because that was price difference.
Literally just woke up and this popped up.Oya shake me🤝🏿🤝🏿
Haha oya I’m here to provide! 😆
Merry Christmas Tim, thanks for the great content this year. Hope 2022 is all you want it to be and more.
What a gent, same to you my friend! Have a great Xmas 🎄
M cars suspension too track focussed but M division don’t move the engine where the rear seats are like Renault Sport do with Clio V6 or Megane Trophy. I’ve had an an Elise, 986 911 C4S, 987.2 Boxster S Black Edition - PDK sport chrono PSE & PASM + DSC v1 and an E87 120d modified; sometimes you need 4 seats...
Fair enough! Please like and sub!
Having owned a tuned M240 and moved to M2C, you’d have to spend a fortune on a 240 to get it close to a stock M2 and there’s nothing you can do to make it look as good. The M240 is a 218 with a big engine, fine if all you want is straight line speed but as a drivers car, the M2 wins every time.
Any profit made on the M2 will be lost on the 240 because they don’t hold their value like an M2 (appreciate you may not lose much over the next 18 months with how the market is). Yes you can do plenty to an m240 but it’s a false economy. Parts aren’t much cheaper and can all be stripped and sold on either car. People can have various reasons for downgrading to the 240 from the M which is absolutely fine but it will always 100% be a downgrade although still a great car.
Couldn’t agree more, just more of a project than the finished article!
@@TimWilliamsHD It’ll be interesting to get your comparison and thoughts as the 240 is definitely a better value proposition.
Not really the S58 and B58 do not mean they are similar. In fact the S58 has only 10% commonality . The S here signifies its an M engine and the B is from normal engines designed after 2013. The 5 actually means its a 6 cylinder and 8 means TVDI. If you want to know the engine differences then this guy gives you the full scoop. ruclips.net/video/aEEGa5Gy_2k/видео.html
the m2 is just a 240 with a M differential, when u do that aftermarket its as good as the m2. yea the mirrors, kidneys, etc are different but statistics. if i could choose, M2 over 240 all day but yea
@@michaelmich00 drive both and you'll change your mind very quickly. People also forget the n55 m2 isnt the usual n55. Its a 0T0.. the fully revised version, alot dont know that you can run big turbos and still retain ewg dme control, m5 injectors work in our cars for 650+ whp on direct injection only, b85 supra pumps work plug and play, s55 pumps are codeable, baffled pan for drifts and skids, lsd, and the f8x subfame and complete suspension. The ultimate lego street car from bmw. And they're appreciating
I rate that Keeping trying
Moving down from from my m140i to a new m135i.
The RWD powerful m140i is sadly wasted on me, i don't do track days, i don't do supermarket or fastfood carparks and ive moved to within walking distance of work, so whats it all about. Originally did consider and M2 but why.
Simply facts for me are unless your going to use a car to its full potential from time to time its a expensive pointless car to own.
I mean how many time do we actually use these cars to their full potential if not on track?
We just mostly sit in traffic with the occasional blast on B roads or motorways.
Me personally i might as well have a less power, high spec but that's far more usable more of the time especially for the limited amounts of useage i get
That sounds good mate, it’s about whatever works which is why I sold the m2 which is a big bit of money sitting around that I can’t daily due to depreciation and work..m240i gets smashed about to work more often than my other car and will see plenty of track time next year 😊
You’ll miss M140i.
@@davidkemp930 did you read what i posted, i don't miss it now because its hardly used now.
If you use such cars on track then yes but to sit in traffic or at home parked up....how so?
@@markrhoden68 your comment comes across as a bit rude.
I don’t know how you can say they’re pointless cars? We have a 240 the other half loves it with roof down, the sound of the engine and the smoothness/driveability of that engine is nice. You can still enjoy performance cars even when driving them on your daily commute.
I prefer to drive a type r and Elantra N than a modern day m2 to be honest. That's how good they are and they're FWD. It's not just about power
i mean the sheer steering feel/rotation aspects of an elantra N for the $$$ makes it very hard to beat for most "sports" inclined buyers. But id also take a RWD m240i over an X-drive 12 out of 10 times as well. Plus id rather daily an elantra N than get a wrx then have to tune+BBK it to be "ideal" which costs more in comparision...while also having abyssmal MPG if not worse than a b58 in both a WRX or GR corolla. IJS theres so many "boxes" to check for something that would be a mandatory/vehicle vs something that was a weekend/secondary option IMO. Even then id take a GTI for the shifter/clutch feel from a pure daily/driving a manual standpoint all the sudden QOL at times superceeds "pure performance" aspects/figures/potential. Id say the same about bikes though as im not a rider...yet would consider a higher revving/low displacement option purely for enjoying the powerband/shifting of daily commuting the same way a short geared elantra N really nets the value of a daily driving experience even for a manual. VS a b48 230i....hitting boost at 1700-2300RPM and the speed limit XD at times MUCHMUCH less enjoyhable with x-drive mid corner than the majority of cars its priced among.
My 2022 will be here in T.O. just in time for Xmas...
Nice! Enjoy mate!
B58 love
God Bless Tim...you made a video for the everyday person that might not know the costs involved between mlite and m2 ownership...B58 magic at a lower cost with zf...for a daily B58 is mega...stage 1 or JB add on to m240i will smoke stock m2... I love my M140i Shadow 5 door stock and servicing is reasonable...£155 a year tax disc for a built to order M140i with adaptive 8 speed zf...need I say more...240i just the same...big up 👊🏿
No worries mate, happy to help!! Have a great week!
Big facts! Hurt feelings in here! 🤣
Haha you know it
Love the car man, I have a 17 m240 and I’ve loved ever second of it
Enjoy it mate! Epic car!
Great choice! I just love that M240i - The M2 is a fantastic car also. I just love the look of the M240i more. Glad your back with these videos. I bought the new Audi RS3 which is more fun than any previous RS models. I have had BMW cars but damn the prices are nuts. But if I had the money it would be an M car for sure!!!
Thanks mate, yes got loooads planned! Please like and subscribe! Have a good Sunday!
Love the look of the the M240i over the beautiful flared M2 !?
@@M21KEY They both look really great.
@@KainSwiss they don’t both look as great as the m2!
Lol we can all agree that the b58 is better but your mad if you think the 240 looks better than the m2 🤯
sounds like ultimately you got a big bag for the M2 well done the M140 is amazing value !! but the m2 wins on looks alone :D We can now get Dorche stage 2 fuel pumps and with a BM3 flex fuel sensor the OG M2's easily putting down +450whp and honestly this platform doesn't need more, keep in mind - a b58 with the fuel pump has maybe 20whp more but with way less traction no LSD, smaller tyres? B58 is defiantly the better engine no doubt but thats were the story ends
Yes 100% agree with you dude!
M240i is not an M car true, but I'd say it's a better platform than the original M2 to build upon. It's a lot easier to squeeze good power out of this engine, and all the things you mention can be done. You can fit bigger wheels, an LSD (BMW make one for this car), get a stage 1/2 for the extra power and you're set. All that being said, M2comp is the dream hahah.
@@marked_one better to build what exactly? a drag car yes agreed, budget performance daily car also yes. but a true performance/street/canyon/track car the m2 wins. you can put a LSD on a 240 and have more power then an m2, its still a soft base level bmw, the platform wont be as good as the M2 which is basically an m4 with a n55. as for the comp, almost perfect except i wish it sounded better!
I am planning a car project (mainly for track day) but at the same time using as a dailydriven no matter what the comforts. The question is an m240i changing suspension, track width, slick tires, arms, stabilizer bar, extreme weight reduction (carbon fiber doors, replacement front seats, removing dashboard, etc) is better than a stock m2 or else, the m2 from stock it has the level of a true track day car ? the value of one m2 is equivalent to a track day car or rather a sports car
It’ll never be a m car but it’ll be whatever you’d want it to be mate, that’s how I see it! I’ll say do it as it’s fun to get an upgrade but just remember what you’re driving and go up against similar cars too!
240 awesome car but the last 10 seconds looking at the rear compared to the rear of a m2 in my opinion is enough to off kept the m car
I look farward to your future vids 💥💥👍
Yes the rear is better but stay tuned 👀 I’ll hopefully change your mind!
The front bumper of the m240i is the thing that makes it look dated :/ m2 front bumper is immense! Would you fit an m2 comp bumper (with modifications to get it to fit?) or another bumper??
@@SunnySingh-fd8wn imo, i always thought the M240i didn't look aggressive enough from the front rather than it being dated, but that's why i did what you suggested above, and changed the front to the M2C bumper with the wider arches! Would be cool to see Tim possibly do that?
@@M21KEY ooh what’s your Instagram page?
@@SunnySingh-fd8wn @M21KEY 🙂
I have an m240i and I want to trade it for an m2. Problem is I feel the n55 is too much of a downgrade, and for what an m2c runs for I'd rather go for a used 911/gtr/z06. Might just settle for an f80 m4.
For me the only step up from an m240i would be the m2comp as power band feel will always be weaker than the N55 M2. Only issue is m tax on parts if you track it…discs are at least £120 more alone
Really honest personal opinion on two excellent cars, we all have our own customer value when buying and sometimes greatly differ on what value is, I own a 2019 m140i that has birds performance suspension package specifically designed for poor British roads, wonder how much power you can use in a m2 when on poor roads because the setup is more suited to smooth tracks, a bouncing rear end makes you ease off the power, thoughts Tim?
M240i handles poor roads way better as there is more flex in the subframe with it not being bolted directly to the chassis…the m2 was great after dampers but isn’t made for comfort as you said
Hi Neil, what's the birds kit like?
I had the m140i in 2016 when the B58 was new. It was an amazing engine then and still stands as one of the best in my opinion since. The newer M cars with the S58 are just twin turbo versions with slight upgrades - hence why the B58 is so tuneable. Wise decision my friend.
Thanks Samuel, agree totally! Hope you’re well! Merry Xmas!
Congratulations on the new car, can’t wait to see it!! X
Thanks Bonnie! Need to link up for sure!!
“I don’t wanna go down as a waffler” 😂😂
😂 you know!
I had the go m2 great car but it was the rwd in winter that I wasn’t keen on
M2 looks way better than the m240i
Agree b58 and zf is perfect
I prefer the awd like rs3, a45 or golf r
Because you’re a shit driver 😂 just kidding
If you never do any track driving, then an M car is overkill because you can’t ever drive it as it was meant to be driven. So at that point, driving an M car is really to show off to your friends. And unfortunately, too many people with more money than driving skills will buy an M car for the ‘show factor’. So they will baby the car, keep it clean and waxed, and never track it. So wait for those cars to hit the used car market, because these types of owners are always after the next popular car to show off.
So much truth spoken 😄
What do you do for work?
OKkay, not sure of the M2C take, but I'm on the fence.. I'd go for the M240i, no mistake made, the b58 has so much potential.. and it just makes financial sense. The M2CS in my opinion is the best variant, but prices are too crazy.
Exactly right man! M4 for the win 😆
@@TimWilliamsHD Definitely subscribed.. You've got taste bro, nice. I just saw your F80 😍 How does it compare to the M240i/M340i and which would you recommend for a first RWD car? In terms of fun and engaging
It’s in another league mate! I would say go less power for your first one and work your way up for sure!
Love Your Attitude Tim!!! Dropped you a Sub!!! Good luck mate👍
Thanks Clive!
Congratulations 👍..Quick question 🤔 why didn't you upgrade to the new ///M240i but ey it's still a gOod buy 👌
The love for RWD is insane that’s why 😆
Brudda I’m sitting here waiting for another upload.
I went to Kyle at Defined Coding and he sorted the BM3 for me. Very knowledgeable and nice guy.
What tyres would you recommend on m140/m240? Currently have Pilot super sport but they struggle in the wet with a BM3 stage 1
PS4 all day or eagle f1 bro! Filming a sad video tomorrow that hopefully turns into a win so that’ll go live Sunday 🤷🏾♂️🤞🏾
Still curious why some of the 2018-2019 m240's have that really aggressive front bumper, and others don't. Anyone know the answer?
Not sure bud 🤷
You should experience a megane rs 250 or even a trophy . they are absolute machines from standard for a fraction of the price cause it's french :D
Yes mate have done, great cars but I prefer rwd over fwd
I can start watching tim again 😂😂 love the video mate
Thanks bro! Loads to come!!
I went from a stage 2 440 to an m4.. I’m in love with the m4 it is a different ball game. Even with mods on the b58 car it just doesn’t compare. But fair play anyway!
Yes totally agree but the right type of mods need to happen..bmw make an m240i racing and a 135i btcc car which both compete in official race teams…I’ll be using those as a go to!
You must have a modded M4 because a stage 2 B58 is way better than a stock S55 m4, B58 sounds way better than both stock and modded S55
@@SH7SH7SH7 stock m4.. handling wise and performance wise I think it’s different levels, I had the 440 for 18 months drove it every day, and the m4 I’ve had 4 months and drive every day, I mean I can tell the difffence but maybe it’s just me 🤷🏻♂️
@@Bm98-z4y handling wise I agree it’s definitely better but straight line performance the stage 2 440i would be quicker would a lot more torque
@@SH7SH7SH7 yeah.. straight line 😂I live on country roads 😂
So basically getting an M2 is one thing, running one is another thing.
If you plan to track it then yes 100%
If the M2 comp had the adaptive suspension, I’d have bought it.
Thinking about it now, it would be a stupid financial decision: paying 15k€ more just for the looks. I don’t think I’ll ever put my car in a track, so even though the M2 comp looks better and is the more prestigious car, I bought the right car for me.
The M2 CS was too expensive for me and by then, I already had the M240i.
Why pay 15k more for the looks when you can just slap on the m2 bumper? It’s the same frame.
@@huh0123 the back wheels are wider as well and so is the frame around it.
Yes Tim, do you think you can get the handling near the m2 then? Apparently they’ll always be a bit more softer edged than an m car? But you can get damn close??
Yes mate, have done a lot of planning and plotting, we’ll deffo get it as close as possible!
If cars are your content m240 definitely makes more sense until you get super big
I support your choice Tim 👍
Thanks dude! Enjoy the video!
Good content lad , cheapest M2 in Finland is only 57500 euro. I envy british car prizes :d
Great video!! Got the same car ! I'm going to get it stage 2. What are your plan on this baby to get it where you want it to be ?

to me the M2 offers 6 spd manual which is no longer available for m240i(not an issue for me) more to purists....and a DCT to those "purists" that also desire better than the ZF8. Other than that the m240i/platform and B58 Still offers that "potential" tunability with stock turbo/internals/injection...or elsewhere. At least thats the way i look at it X-drive for ppl trying to lay down dragstrip/times..other than that RWD offers IMO limitless value/potential from a pure drivers perspective in regard to steering feel/input degree which makes it almost a mandatory option since i dont require snow/wet performance as a HUGE priority. In stock form im sure the M2 is great...but for tuning/mods the m240i is just such a viable/platform starting point for the price/power figures etc...w.o having to modify the transmission/drivetrain aspects. I figure the m'2s will be widely available in the used market day 1...compared to a slew of platforms...given its price point/access and those perspective owners having the purchasinig power/ability to uppgrade or like Tim...move to other avenues of ownership/power/potential. The b48 230i m/packaged options are already being seen for 10,000+ off MSRP in the secondhand market for cars 1-2 years old. To me just a striking value from a tuning/potential standpoint.
Stage 2 M2 will walk away from stage 3 M240i even with diff, suspension upgrades etc round a track 😉 by the time you’ve spent all the money on the M240i your no better off & now have a car which depreciates in value much quicker.
But if you want a better value car for drag/draggy B58 is the way to go
Totally disagree, i made crazy amount of money on the m2 allowing me to buy this m240i for cheap..m2 has m tax on all parts and engine isn’t really as reliable as the b58 hence why bmw used it again in new 240i and based the new m3/4 off the engine..bmw offer the m240i racing for competitions and btcc m135i racing so I’ll be looking to build something like that with a way cheaper car which is fun to build and not something that I think about constantly if I should sell and make money…the m240i might sell one day but I don’t drive it now thinking about the resell value cos it’s not a sought after car and as I mentioned it’s not about which is better or faster it’s about me getting something that makes sense for me. Be good to see back to back times with a stage 2 m2 and a m240i with £15k spent on it😆 that’s the price difference between mine sold for and how much the m240i cost 🤫 I for one am interested! 😂
M2 is nice but I get snow here in Toronto so that alone is a deal breaker.. AWD and a smaller price tag... and like you said M240i has loads of modifications
A stage 1 240i would gap a non comp stage 2 M2 lol I don't know what you're talking about.
The B58 is not a force to be reckoned with.
@@TimWilliamsHD Edit at the end: Mod for mod the B58 isn't as capable as the S55. The S55 has exceptional reliability. It's bullet proof. I think the record whp is over 1300 now. Another bit of news for you is that the S58 is heavily based off the S55 which I didn't realise either. The only advantage of the M240i is that it's cheap. Aside from that the M2 is better. B58 is still a great engine. Stage 1 M240i is a weapon still. I used to have the 440i. Biggest upgrade is a nice new set of Michelin PS4 tyres. 😀.
Edit: If we are talking N55 M2 then I'd argue the M240i is a better car 😆. The B58 is a way better engine than the N55.
@@TeacherToolkitDemo yes mate agree with you in most points..deffo my video was talking about my old m2 which is was n55
Hi mate, top video, thanks for that! Is your m240i an rwd or does it have xdrive? Which one would you recommend if you want to put some extra power on it? does it make a difference in fun?
😄 easy answer . We don’t get xdrive in the UK so no idea 😆
@@TimWilliamsHD thanks for the fast answer^^
Can you tell me how I can check which engine I a 240i has? I mean this b58 or b58tu?
How much is the road tax on the 240i, cuz?
M2 comp of f80/82 was the only sensibly upgrade from OG M2. Might be able to get more power from the b58 but such a lack lustre car in comparison to M perf cars. A better daily yes but so boring in comparison
Wasn’t looking to upgrade mate, was looking to get something as mentioned in the video I could daily and smash around track without worrying about depreciation and paying m tax on car parts…
@@TimWilliamsHD better daily mare but our m lites are total aids when you start pushing on. You must be getting old lol

Can’t win them all!
Is the n55 less reliable than the b58?
It’s older and it needs more for cooling and power, but sounds better and the m2 version is slightly different than the normal x35i n55
idk i want an m240 and an m2 would be like the IDEAL. So i just cant understand going for a downgrade. I can only go up unless its like a Miata where the handling is more fun than what you would get with heavier cars. Plus you have to buy lsd for m240
Mine came with more parts than I had with the m2 and I got ridiculous offer for it along with wanting something that wasn’t already built…
@@TimWilliamsHD yea fair. Obviously you wouldn't have taken it if it didnt make sense. That was just a perspective I hadn't seen much
They locked the ECU so it can not be tuned anymore.
Are there differences in MPG from stock m2 and stock m240i?
Huge mate! 240i had 8 gears so 70mph is low revs and is just a more efficient beast due to b58
@@TimWilliamsHD thanks mate!
IMO n55 is a great engine, very reliable, but it takes allot to get out of it. Yes the 240 is faster than a OG M2, especially in a straight line but it's not the better car. If your looking to do rolls and digs and all you care about is 0-60 and numbers (he read the brochure) by all means the B58 is for you.
The M2 is a drivers car whether it's the OG or M2C, a 240 just can't do what a M2 does no matter what you do it. Handling alone justifies that, more in the M2C. The way these cars drive and respond are night and day, the 240 is practically the better daily but the M2 is the better car period.
Exactly as I said ✅
I got the m135i n55 stage one mate the boost is crazy also the n55 is a deeper exhaust note more aggressive
Deffo!
@@TimWilliamsHD tim my man i was on the verge of a m2 the dealer where i picked up my m135i said they got the m2 in come have a look they really want my manual sunroof fully loaded m135i 😂 my mate said kilz get it remapped best thing iv ever spent 350 bob on
I can’t get past the b58’s weak sounding engine noise. It sounds like a vacuum cleaner. Also if the #58 platform is superior to the #55 platform how come bmw didn’t put it in a single f-series m car? Just some food for thought. N55 is the most slept on engine from bmw and everyone loves an underdog, remember? 😮
How does the m240i compare to the m140i you had before? Did you get it just because you previously had a m140i before or was the m140i not as good as the m240i?
This M240i feels way better, having KW suspension is the biggest difference!
@@TimWilliamsHD Was it just motech springs on your m140i?
Yes bud
@@TimWilliamsHD Yeh its the dampers that are the issue for both m140i/m240i, mine with b12 kit is a lot better, rolls a little in corners is my only bug bear but handles well, proper coilovers would be even better.
100%
I love my m240i
How are you displaying your oil temp on the dash
Came like that bud
@@TimWilliamsHD Was that the m2 or the m240i in that clip? I have a 235i is it possible on that car? Thought I needed an extra oil temp gauge.
M2 comp makes more power than a 240i 🤣
The epitome of ADHD right here… 😂
😄
hello friend I follow your channel you can help I have a bmw 320 year 2011 I want to change the steering wheel for a model with paddle shifter but I don't know how should I do the coding of the paddle shifter and autopilot can you help me

@@TimWilliamsHD how defined can you explain please
Google him. He can help. Defined coding
@@TimWilliamsHD do you have the link of the google page
240 or 140 a better daily than m2... just a whiff of fiesta st clan about them
Haha no way! Different ball game!
I have a m240i
You are getting crazy money for special cars right now because nobody wants cash on the bank account as a result of heavy inflation and penalty interest at the moment (And supply chain problems ofc). Same with real estate market - crazy prices. Maybe letting the M2 sit in the garage without driving it would lose you less money long term.
But as you said in other comments, the B58 is king. So no downgrade there! 🙂
100% boss!
Reject N55...
...Return to B58
Yupppp
Na you brought a car that you couldn’t afford or just chose simply not to drive daily . But to each it’s own dude
😂 you must not know how depreciation works bro
@@TimWilliamsHD yeah I believe higher trim level cars depreciate less then their lower trims levels.
LUDAAAA!
