Since I've had thr 2022 M240i and the 2023 M240i it wad interesting to see what had changed in the 2024 M240i. I've completed 500kms with my 2024 and have noticed some differences so here they are!
Thx Allen, Glad I purchased a new 2022 M240 2 years ago. Love the manual shift knob and the extra goodies in the trunk. Not sure why BMW changed those items in 2023.. I love shifting manual and prefer the floor shifter vs paddle shifters. That said, good luck with your new 2024!! great engine
thank you for watching! I miss some of the things in my 2022 but in no way did they alter my experience with the vehicle not having them and especially now with no options, I'm still loving the car
It is crazy to me that the 2022 comes with more features. The only thing that the 2024 has over the others is the 48v battery. Outside of that, the 2022 is much better.
Thanks for the comparison Allen, and I love all the little improvements made to 2024 model. Do you know if 2023 model can get a software upgrade to ID8.5 to show those little changes (e.g., sprint mode display and temp manual displaying D1, D2 stuff)?
Really like your content! I just got my 2023 M240i Mineral White after a 5 month wait! I’m only at 150 miles. How much do you follow break-in guidelines? I’ve been very careful, but I know some people think break-in is overrated and you should just drive it like you normally would. Thoughts?
If the missing boot parts still exist would it be reasonable to ask my local dealer to fit them if i asked? Same for the missing coin pocket next to steering wheel?
you could re-add the grocery bag hanger but the net requires modification. The storage in front will require cutting the dash, confident dealer will deny your request
I agree to some extent, I will say most people wouldn't have had the experience of having each consecutive model year to notice the differences and I can definitely say nothing was detracted from my ownership by not having some of the things that were missing from one year to another. However I'm just documenting my findings because I was surprised to find any changes at all
@@AllenBMWDurham The stitched leather steering wheel seems to be the biggest change, but I mean it's not a deal breaker by any means. It slightly cheapens the look of the steering wheel but like you say, has no effect of the driving experience. Kind of odd they went that route. I hate when prices go up and some quality comes down. Should be one or the other, not both!
You missed the subtle darkening of colour to rear lights, exhaust tips and the braces seen when active radiator vents open. I noticed those in the UK market and the removal of passenger seat memory settings as well as coin holder near steering wheel. That last removal was really annoying as now coins rattle in centre console.
tail lights didn't change in tint in Canada, coin holder was remove in 2023 from 2022 in our market, I have another video about those differences. I don't think we ever had passenger seat memory here
I think the 2022 was the most complete and unique in terms of having everything and the only 1 year with iDrive7. I think generally my 2023 got better reactions from people being impress by the appearance of iDrive8 and I was also happy I had red calipers and anniversary roundels. My 2024 is the least equipped but there is something I'm actually enjoying about not having options lol probably means I'm getting old. Overall 2022 was my first BMW so I probably liked it the most and beat it up the most lol
I love the idrive 8 ,500 miles in so far .....looks so good with the large screen.....glad i waited.had a x2 loan car with id 6 oh wow that is so dated now.
I can't stand the way new manufacturers are designing car interiors now. Stupid ass buttons for shifting instead of a knob, all of the physical controls hidden in fucking menus on a dumbass tablet strapped to the dashboard. It makes it look worse, function worse, and is distracting while trying to drive and do something as simple as adjusting the AC. It makes the whole cockpit look empty, there is just nothing but a steering wheel and a fucking tablet. Why even remove the shift knob when there is no lack of space considering that they moved all of the controls into the tablet? It wouldn't surprise me if they started putting the shifting into the tablet too. Just get in and all you have is a steering wheel and a fucking TV on your dashboard. Fucking "luxury" sedan and I get the same user experience as a cheap ass Camry. Oh wait, nevermind the $20k Camry has real fucking buttons! What a fucking joke. They sure didn't take anything off the price for all the savings they're making not having to manufacture buttons, or wire them up...
I understand, if you just picked up the car for the first time, you would not know what you're missing, also it doesn't detract at all from the ownership experience but it saves BMW tons of money in production
