    first two points, I actually love about the car 😅
    Love the big idrive 8 screen its brilliant, love the grills, because coming from other performance cars that vacuum up so many leafs and bugs, the more 'closed' it can be the better.
    For the interior I opted for the anthracite instead of gloss black, was like a 250 euro option.

    Overall looks great. I think I'd prefer the skirt winglets come all the way back to the wheel arch like the M-Performance ones do, following the cut line of the black rocker panels against the body color, but the full skirt is a massive improvement over the stand-alone winglet. Well done!

I’ve not noticed it a few times, hit the gas and just revs…annoying!

    You could have specd it without the gloss black interior. You didn't remove the protective stickers, and then complain about it...is this your first new car?
    Says he doesn't like the grill, then goes on to say he doesn't like it open...🤡
    Say he doesn't like the new screens, while reviewing a car that DOESNT have the new screens. This is a video about the 2022...not the 2023.
    This is one of the worst 240 vids that has come out so far.

    • @AUTOIDTV
      @AUTOIDTV  2 года назад +2

      Hey bud. Gloss black interior is standard for 240i in UK.
      Don’t worry, we were aware of the protective stickers… we peeled the others off in another video. But it is our first ever new car, which we’re pretty proud of 😆
      We don’t like the grill in general.
      Tried the new screens in other cars.
      The video is titled “things we hate” so there will be negatives. But I also go on to say that it was a very tough to do and most of the points are trivial because we love the car in general.
      Hope that clears a few points up 😘
