FIXING the BMW M240i FLOATY Rear End!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 июл 2024
- The BMW M240i comes with the same chassis as a BMW 218d which means that the powerful B58 overwhelms the chassis when pushed hard! A cheap and cheerful mod to do are these @Powerflex Suspension Bushes Subframe inserts which I had previously fitted on the M140i and this time round I had to do the same on the M240i. We went for the harder black bush instead of the yellow so lets see how much different they are! Also have brands hatch coming up so will able to report back how they help on track!

Definitely a first mod a lot of M Lite owners should do. Cheap and make a big improvement
100% super easy for a big gain!
That’s what we like about you Tim. A vision for the future. You have predicted it perfectly. Your bmw sounds awesome when you press the pedal to the metal. Looking forward to seeing this stunner progress further. Excellent content.
Thanks mate! Loving it right now but got loads more to come!
I've had a m135i for a month now and it's awesome, buuuuuuuuuuuut (!!!) it 100% floaty at the rear especially when you're hitting plus 100 (on track obviously). I've got adaptive suspension, but will look into these plus the old motech springs and spacers. Great content dude, keep them coming 🤙
Stay tuned, my floatiness has disappeared! Big upgrades took place!
@@TimWilliamsHD Black inserts, springs and spacers go in Wednesday - can't wait man!
Respect bro 👍👍
Thanks bro…Please like sub! Tim
245/40 PS4 XL, harder sidewalls sort it out vs the spongy PSS which is where most of the criticisms comes from since day 1. Driven both tyres back to back stock car and it’s the tyre
I have PS4s and it still did it at speed tbf, the movement in the subframe is way too much without the inserts too for a m lite
@@TimWilliamsHD 40 section 97y XL? They’re a lot harder than 35 92y. Firms the numbness out. Looks like PS5 has firmed up the sidewall from early feedback, hopefully in 245/35, if not I’ll stick with 245/40.
Yo Tim! Revisiting this video after tracking my m240i for the first time and definitely feel the floatiness at those higher speeds. Curious if you only did the sub frames with the blacks or did you also go for the diff inserts like you were considering? Thanks bro!
Currently I’ve got solid bushes from Millway but for just road use, the black inserts on subframe and diff are perfect!
Good insight Tim. I’ve been considering these for a while but I’m on B14’s, what d’ya think?? Black or yellow, black or yellow, black or yellow lol. Soz couldn’t resist! Seriously though, black or yellow with the coilies?? 😆
Haha I know it! Deffo black, had yellow before because I was worried about noise and hardness but black is perfect for fast road and safe rear end feel
Great video tim! Curious if this is also something you'd want to do with an m240i if it also has xdrive? Not sure if that makes a difference - thanks!
Should be okay mate! Thanks! Please like sub! Tim
Hi Tim, I'd like to ask you for advice. I have a stage 3 Bmw F20 120d with non-adaptive suspension. I mount eibach prokit springs with original shock absorbers re-calibrated in the hydraulics (I had b8 but I didn't like how they went). I mount PS4 225/40/18 tires on both axles and at the moment I run with the yellow powerflex inserts. The floating sensation has been significantly reduced without compromising comfort, but it's not entirely gone. I would be tempted to try the black inserts but I would like your opinion as I have no adaptive suspension.
You are a great Tim and I love that you tell the truth about things.

Hi mate
I’d say suspension is key but the real floaty issue could be down to the width. I run 255 front and back now and the car feels really planted!
Nice one Tim for the recommendation as always. Where did you get these fitted? (I'm south London based).
I fitted them myself mate, south london I’d recommend Jim at Munich power in Surrey…he’s the go to down south
Pound for pound the best mod. I have the same on my M140i and it's easier to find the limit of grip at the rear now.
100% man!
Did you go yellow or black
@@NickthaGeek black
Would love to see a 240IR wide body kit on this
It’s coming mate!
Hey Tim, thanks for the great vid.
Did you need your alignment doing after fitting the inserts?
Cheers
Hey mate,
Both times I’ve done the insert car has driven spot on in terms of alignment 💪
Thanks Tim
Havent seen your channel for ages mate , have you still got the m2 ? Asking as im thinking to trade my m140 and get m2 comp 😜
Do it mate night and day! Just know M tax on parts is different than M lites 😂
Hey Tim, in the market for one of these and a M140i, what would you say is the better car handling wise with all these mods done?
M240i definitely man feels more sports car with the mods than hatchback
You had me at 125.2% better 🤣
😆 facts! Please like sub! Tim
Hey Tim, did the black subframe bushings help the car with turn in? Did cornering speeds go up or is it more a handling mod for stability? Which dampers were you running? Thanks.
Hi Tim just wanted to ask you a question as you have had the opportunity to own a 140i and now an owner of the m240i honest opinion what car do you genuinely prefer. My reason for asking as I’m torn between buying 😩 either 🤷🏻♂️ watch so many reviews but nothing really stands out with a definitive answer on what car handles the best before any modifications. Appreciate any feedback 👍🏻
Hey mate I prefer the 240i in terms of looks as it looks more sporty as a coupe than a hatchback however I did miss the practicality of five doors when I first got it. The chassis also feels stiffer than the 140s did out of the box too?
would this help on a 300bhp, 480nm b48 320i, I do fee like its floaty when im doing pulls sometimes
Doing bushes definitely improve the car when pushing on! Email sales@williamsperformance.co.uk and they’ll be more than happy to sort you out!
Hey Tim,
are these inserts changing the height of the rear of the car? I have coilovers installed and the height of the car is perfectly adjusted for my likings :). I don't wanna do the adjustments again.
Greetings from Germany.
Hey!
Doesn't change the height at all! Only positves dude! Hope you're well!

@@TimWilliamsHD thank you Tim I'm fine. I hope you too :). I'm really excited to see the m240iR body kit on this thing 😁
Tim do you have the xhp map on your bm??
Yep running xhp stage 3 mate
Great vid, thanx mate ! did you experienced also the front TS & LCA M4 kit set modification on your F22 ? I plan to do both modifications (rear bushes plus M4 front control arms) and i'm also wondering if switching my RFT Potenza tyres with non RFT Michelin tyres would be worthy : my stock M240i RW got 18" wheels, electronic suspensions and direct drive steering, and when the road is not perfect or bended it is very hard to handle as it goes everywhere with a bad steering feeling....and these RFT tyres are so noisy !!!
It’s on the plans! Should be done in next week or two!
After this, did you continue feeling the steering wheel loose?
Rear end tightened up firmly, much better!
Is it better to do the front one first and then the rear ones or those it not matter ?
Do all of them mate, but I’d say follow my directions and you’ll be fine!
@@TimWilliamsHD no i think you didnt understand me
Is it better to start with the ones in the front or the ones in the back ? Or is it not important ?
Bro,I put the yellow subframe and diff inserts in and I haven't noticed any difference.Feeling like I should have gone with the black series
Deffo black, rear feels solid now. I went yellow but the stiffness is so noticeable
I’ve done yellow and its night and day,no sketchy rear end floatyness when pressing on
Yellow inserts for my m140. Perfect oem upgrade without no compromise in comfort.
