The new, controversially-styled BMW M240i is objectively a very good car. It is quicker in a straight line than last year's M2 Competition, thanks to the (for now) standard X-Drive AWD system and wide torque band. Its adaptive suspension offers a wide spread of performance in the canyons vs. luxury on the freeway. And the automatic gearbox, in most situations, shifts smoothly and directly. But is it the drivers car we want from the 2-series? Is BMW taking the 2-series in the right direction? Matt and Zack hit the canyons to find out!

The All-New BMW M240i Gets Bigger, Smaller, Faster, and Number All At Once - Two Takes

Would you rather drive this or an M2? Why?
It’s really amazing how BMW continues to put out so many vehicles that are completely visually uninteresting.
"Cool cars in the LA area".... Return of the One Take???? 👀
YES! Does the intro suggest that you guys are considering to review other people's cars again ? If so I am extremely happy to hear that.
Really cool color, that's about it. As a BMW fan this car doesn't do it for me at all in the looks department.
M240i unless you’re going on the track or care about the look / road presence to spend a lot more. M2 no faster on the road and less comfortable.
At 6'2, I could sit in the back of an E82 and F22 quite comfortably. This being smaller inside whilst being bigger and heavier on the outside is literally the opposite of what BMW was supposed to do. The G87 M2 6MT will be the one to get; not this AWD slushbox thing... Oh, wait, the M cars are now AWD slushboxes, too.
I think what I learned from this video is that the Civic Type R is way more impressive than I thought. I did not expect it to be 6 seconds faster than this car on track.
The biggest problem is - What do you do if you have eyes?
Last 2 coupe looked a lot nicer. The proportions look.... off, and the lights are hideous. Not a fan.
Between this, the XM and the M4 it clearly shows that their designers can't do futuristic design.... but somehow Hyundai did it with the Ioniq 5.
the BMW 135i was the perfect size, I hate how they keep making them bigger, soon 2 series will be as big as 3 series
Matt's spine readjusted itself over one of the bumps while Zack was driving
In Europe you have 3 different 3-series to chose from:
Love you guys for your perfect review format: Provide the basic pertinent information, skip all of the super subjective interior and exterior bs and just hustle the shit out of the car the way we enthusiasts want to drive
I really like how you spent more time discussing your assessment on the car at the end 👍
Nice one. I bought last year the predecessor M240i (F22 Coupe 2020) RWD. I test drove the new one but in my eyes the older one (F22) looks more like a bmw than the new one does - the new looks more Japanese to me. I also got the M Performance Front lip and the Carbon Wing which in my eyes make a huge difference - the front looks more like the older E92 M3 with the lip. The RWD and the less weight made me go for the predecessor - 100%.
I just ordered one in the Portimao Blue w/cognac leather interior and got huge discount (military overseas) at 10% off ... with all the options sitting at 48k. It was time to upgrade from my Mk 7 GTI and just turning 50, I needed a more middle-age car. Something tells me I'm going to miss my GTI but when I test drove this car a couple of weeks ago ... I was blown away by the power of that B58 engine! Not to mention the adaptive suspension was nice. Looking forward to this car!
So this (relatively) small car is nearly 4000 lbs??? That Is insane.
The front end looks pretty goofy in lighter colors.
