3 Months With The BMW M240i xDrive Final Verdict! | 4K 

Thanks for everyone's continued support, I hope you're having a great weekend! 👊❤️

I do think the B58 engine will go down as one of the best of all time. Literally does everything, and as far as I know is pretty bulletproof. Great video Joe as always

Great review ! I absolutely love my M240i it’s very well rounded and a great daily driver that always puts a smile on my face and always find myself taking the long route to were I’m going so I get more seat time 👍🏻

In my opinion, your channel is amazing brother! Keep up the awesome work/great content. Thanks Bro!!

Thanks Joe! The M240i looks better and better each time I would say!

An excellent review on this well rounded vehicle - performance, looks - especially those wheels, luxury and economic on fuel when not pushing it. Cheers to you 👍

Those wheels are definetely the best choice for the M240, I almost bought one instead of my M340 😅

Thanks for bringing us along. Great review. Thank you BMW for providing this awesome daily for Joe.

Funny how the looks of this car have grown on me! Great vid man 👍

Congratulations Joe with this very good and objective test! Very nice done! Stefaan

Another good one Joe. Also have enjoyed your input in EVO recently too and hope to see more of that as well in the future.

Great vlog Joe love your vlogs honest genuine advice keep it up buddy

Just noticed the E36 M3 at 10:55 which feels like the spiritual ancestor of this car

Enjoyable video Joe, was looking forward to this and your feedback 👌👏

Great video. I am looking at getting one of these soon as my first sports car ever. Appreciate the review

Thanks Joe! Looking forward to a test drive of the new model when I finally get one near me.

Great, insightful video!

Loving the content recently, video production and quality is incredible. I would love to see a comparison of the current m lites m240i, m340i, m440i. Happy to provide an m340i if you need it!

So would you go for the rs3 or m240i xdrive or bmw M2 ?

Thanks for all the content, I really enjoy your videos and relaxed honest opinions. One big plus for the M240i, lets say you need to tow something, like a Jet Ski, its really hard to find a car thats fun to drive yet has towing! Very first world problem! Mine was due to be built 2 weeks ago, catch up with the dealer this week when my partner picks up his i4 :)

Geat Video and I fully agree to your comment about the "safety systems". Greetings from Austria

Thank you Joe ❤️

Very well informed video for anyone on the fence on whether to buy one or not. Thanks Joe

I’ve had mine since the end of March. Fantastic machine and I love it so much. Coming from the previous gen (which I did a lot of work to) it just beats it in every department. The look, the stability, the speed, even the sound is better somehow. Love it. Xdrive and the M diff combined is different gravy

100% correct on safety modes, they are a an absolute nightmare, didn’t know that button took them off 🤣 thanks 👍

Great cars ! Wicked at just doing it all so well

The verdict is it's beautiful 😍

Thank you. I'm waiting for the track test

Totally agree on black cars. They look fantastic when clean. The whole five minutes after they’ve been washed

transparency with regards to critique is appreciated. more important than the positives are the negatives.

Great video. Hello from USA!

Great video. Thanks Joe. I think your reviews are very balanced and, if BMW were paying you (and I’m sure they’re not), they would probably not be happy with the negatives. But that’s why a lot of us watch - we know you’re giving us both sides of the story. Good work.

It’s a beauty .. good review too

Great review.

Nice review Joe

Excellent review Joe, awesome car, love it. Would be good if BMW improve the breaks for this engine and keep the more traditional dashboard.

Excellent review, very real and factual and on top of all that getting ‘paid’ by BMW…got to love social media!!😉

Is a lovely car, would love to test drive one to see how it compares with my 140, great video as always Joe🤝

Love the overall look of this car.

I’ve just bought one, 6 months old with a body kit, comfort and tech pack. Awesome car so far.

Absolutely beautiful

Thanks, Joe. Nice summation. I have one on order....it's black.

Brilliant Joe. I want one 👍

looks so much better in this color

Thanks for this great report on your experience. I am currently on an M135i in misano blue, which is even more of a daily driver because of it's versatiliy and available space, and still fun to drive, though I am planning to switch to an M240i once the company lease runs out on the Oner.

I’m looking forward to getting this as my next car, someone totalled my g20 330i xdrive recently so I think it’s time to get that straight six😎So excited

I’ve had mine for over a year now and I love the daily drive. It’s such an easy drive on comfort and such a fun drive on high speeds on sports. I think I’ll be sticking with this car for a little longer before I trade in for my next….

I bought M240i, and I agree with Joe’s comments on the car's exterior design. I love everything but the rear... It is a flaw, for sure. I hope it grows in me in the end. Overall, I love this car. I don’t even care whether it’s heavy or not since I don’t drive competitive racing. 😅It’s probably the best affordable 2-door coupe in the market with all the convenient options and reliable power train and the xDRIVE.

just got mine with the new Idrive system and screen and its amazing!

Have just bought one last week with 20.000 miles on it 👍love it

Hey Joe, I wonder how the brakes would have fared on track had your car been equipped with the upgraded brakes? Notice you have the pro pack but not the cooling pack (a £300 bargain). This increases the calipers and discs from 12-14” and the discs to 374mm from 348mm. Upgraded calipers are visually different so easy to spot and see this car doesn’t have them

Have to say, I have been driving mine for a month now and never really noticed the safety features interfering (I am going to be paying closer attention after watching this). Couldn't be happier with mine, although I will say coming from a 2014 Focus it's an insane upgrade so I don't have as much attention to detail to compare to similar 'performance' oriented cars.

Hi Joe, Great video as usual, a bit of topic but is there anyway you can do a video on how to setup the perfect driving position ( sit setup). Thanks

What a fantastic review. Spot on about the driver aids. I got a new Toyota Hilux in June and the first time I drove the truck it scared the life out of me when the steering wheel yanked to one side due to the lane assist kicking in for no reason. I disabled that straight away. As an owner of an OG M2 this confirms that I need to wait for the new M2 but if I needed a daily the 240i would be up there as a contender.

Totaly agree ….that weird brake assist almost killed me twice in the s400d !

@joe great review

Great review as always Joe, would you have a DCT M2 COMP or a m240ixdrive as your only road car?

Looks to be a great car!

Oh yeah, my dad test drove an a4 all road a few years ago. He took it up a junction or two on a3 as he knew a god road to drive it on on way back to dealer so he could test it on a number of road types. He likes to put a car through its paces without breaking the law. (Obvs). He had to do a genuine emergency lane change on the a3 whilst hard on the brakes- brakes and esp fantastic but the system keeping you in lane was so strong he nearly lost the car in a tank slapped. His golf has the radar on it that works with adaptive cruise that also detects objects that are too close and likely to be a collision - it went bananas as he approached a junction coming on to the road he was on - the radar thought to car facing us was a collision risk, but the road turned to the right at the point where the junction was - car tried to emergency stop though!

omg! thank you for talking about the auto lane control. I got so scared driving X7 and felt like it was pulling me away from the road.

Yep, i had the m135i and now the 335d. Think my next one should be the m240i. Thx for the good review.

Your review sealed it for me, this is my next car.

It was good to see you at the British GP. Somehow even taller than I expected

Very honest overview Joe, I’ve had mine since December and overall love it as a DD. I came from a type R so the brakes or lack of and steering feel was very obvious. The performance and smoothness though are next level. My wife hated the civic and didn’t want to go anywhere in it now we take the beemer everywhere 👌

Recently drove new VW it also had some of these safety features you mentioned. Those are so annoying! Especially when the car is forcefully trying to keep you in the lane, it’s just really dangerous since you feel the car is starting to lock the steering wheel. I don’t know who invented it, but it doesn’t contribute to making driving safer, rather opposite

Please can you get your hands on the latest type r? Would love to hear your review on that

Enjoyed the video as usual. Mine will be the only red one on the road if it ever comes. On order since March now quoting Jan 23 build! You probably need the upgraded brake pack as mentioned very good value but I'm sure all fine for road use. I will cover 20-25000 miles a year so hopefully will tick most of the boxes. Tempted by RS3 but never liked Audis and would be MUCH more expensive to maintain.

In my iDrive 6 equipped BMW one of it's most useful features is the voice input for address destination for the sat-nav, works great don't really need voice for anything else as buttons & dials are straight to the point. And the touchscreen's best use is also for the sat-nav for easily moving around and investigating detail on the map, using t-s for general menu selections whilst driving is terrible - not looking forward to curved-screen iDrive 8 set-up. I'm with you with the black paint, how do u feel about other dark colours, Alpine White for the win?

Can't wait to see the new M2

Great video as ever Joe. I have just purchased a 2018 M240i from my local BMW dealership in Stoke. It's my first ever BMW and I love it. First rear wheel drive car, first straight six. A car of many firsts. I plan to keep it for a while. My question, and yes there is a question. Is the newer X -Drive model much better? I like the idea of four wheel drive as I live in the Staffs moorlands and winter weather can be a bit challenging. The Z4 is also on my radar. I'll stop waffling now. Keep up the good work. I bought my new car based on your review and it doesn't disappoint. #B58rocks. 😊

Hey Joe, thanks for the review. I am highly considering one myself, but am worried about the clanking/thumping noise from the rear suspension for the adaptive models. Did you notice anything of that sort? Also, if owners could share their experiences, that would be very helpful as well. Thanks

Such a great car

the lack of steering feel is real in most new sports cars...it makes driving my older cars that much more fun

I agree with you about the pain in the a..e “safety” devices, lane assist feels dangerous

Joe the problem here over United States is that those safety systems have to be put in place ..because we have people over here who like to eat and text message and watch movies while they are driving and drift in other peoples lanes ..so over here it’s a blessing to have that prevent someone from colliding with you.

A beautiful progression to an iconic M lite pocket rocket. That said, part of my love of driving died when I sold my manual, rear wheel drive one séries with hydraulic assist steering and began driving the 2m lite auto 4wd. Things just got way too tecky, but I guess that’s a good thing🤔

It seems that you really love this BMW M240I and the engine in particular 😉.

I think black or blue looks the best for this car. I have the black and it really stands out nice

Agh! You’ve made me second guess ordering it in black now. Mine isn’t coming until December (with iDrive 8 curved screen). Maybe they’ll let me change it 🤞. Great review though. I’m so excited for it!

Thanks Joe. Your video made me to buy M240i XD

Joe I 100% agree about these safety systems in modern cars. I’ve had my car slam on the anchors because the system didn’t realise I was weaving in and out cars parked on either side of the road. Very dangerous when someone else is right behind you 😡

I was in Berry’s Thames Ditton in the week and I noticed the M240i. The first thing I thought was ‘wow, nice interior’. Sadly the 2nd thought was ‘that rear diffuser is disgusting’. I tend to agree with the black cars, currently living with a black f80 but once detailed looks stunning. Insane performance, wondering what the performance on the new M2 will be.

Very good

Great video as always! I was wondering if you had any thoughts on how it compares to the prev gen (2017-2021) M240i if you have that experience!

What do you think, is white or black worse with dirt on it? I have an alpine white uni car right now and the problem with the mud is exactly why I thought black was better.

Does the xDrive change on a M sport car like the 240i?

Hi Joe - your update is well timed - I’m going take one for a test drive next week. A black one at that :-( Question - have you driven one without the M-adaptive suspension? If so, is it much firmer than in comfort mode with the adaptive suspension? Thanks!!!

A great watch this, as ever.

Is it worth upgrading form a F series m1/240i?

German car makers are so smart. They make 3 versions of the same car at tiered price points. I’d like to see a head to head review comparing this with the m440i c drive since they’re the same car. I just love the look of the 4 series front

Whenever I’ve seen one of these in person/on the road I have to say I’m quite a fan. Totally agree about black cars, so hard to maintain well.

The intelligent safety devices can be configured. On my BMW Z4 M40i the lane departure is switched off and remains off even after ignition off.

Thanks for the informative video I would like to ask to get m240 or m440 if I don’t care about rear seats

My new M240i arrived at the dealership a couple of days ago, minus some options. In fact I decided not to take it as two that I consider essential are missing. I now hope to have one from another branch of the same dealer. It won’t be perfect but I think it will be amazing anyway. I thought about black, but eventually went for Brooklyn Grey which I think will be better for not showing the dirt 🤞 Thanks for your reviews of the M240i Joe, you confirmed to me that I was ordering the right new car. Roll on September 1st!

luv the back and whole car get mine in 10 days and got a great deal from BMW £3500 off whereas for the RS 3 no discount and it has a crap cheap cabin, and it was £9000 more so kept that in my pocket for the future upgrades a stage 1 tune giving it 430 bhp, and new springs thanks.

I have on my old car F10 BMW 520d SE automatic 2012. I’m very love for BMW.

Hi mate, nice channel you have, i can buy a prev M2 comp or this one, for the same price, which one should i get? Thanks!!

hi Joe, do you know by any chance if it's possible to retrofit ceramic brakes on the m240i xdrive? much appreciated.

I've already saw online that the B58 is more refined than the S58 :) nice !

The looks just haven’t grown on me yet, the previous gen with m sport accessories is a gorgeous looking car.
