Is the NEW G42 BMW M240i BETTER than a M2?

The 2022 BMW M240i is putting down 382 BHP and 369 lb-ft of torque from the infamous B58 3.0L Turbo inline 6. It’s still classed as the ‘M-Lite’ version of the new BMW 2 Series coupes, and in this review, I'm curious to see if it’s worth the £46,000 starting price, or whether you should hold out and wait for the upcoming BMW M2 instead.

It's better than an M2, until the new M2 arrives - that promises to be one of the best BMW's if recent times

@bimmerflex5526 2 года назад

Such a colour, such a beast of a bmw. It’s in a different league. So many new models arrive. We get over excited, then just like mobile phones, a newer model gets designed, launched and hey presto. Our BMWs become dated!! Some of us can’t keep up!

@TimWilliamsHD 2 года назад

Very hard to keep up for sure! Can’t wait to see the M2!

@Evolve_windows 2 года назад

Hi Tim I’m considering swapping my 240i like yours for one of these Is the body shell widened like the m2 or is that a standard bodyshell ? Like ours ?

@TimWilliamsHD 2 года назад

Slightly wider mate, I’ll say it’s in between

@EatUpBoise Год назад

M2 is going to come with a much larger price tag. The performance you get for the dollar with the M240i is unmatched right now at $49k USD. I'd expect you will be closing in on $80k for the xdrive M2.

@AjAx30za Год назад

78000$ is the sale price in the middle east, but it does come fully specced with ever option for that.. Still a bit steep though..

@xLilFliPz 2 года назад

Love my m240i but man that carbon kit i need to replace instead of the gloss black I have. Need this in Canada and how many inches are those exhaust tips?

Pop motech a message mate, remus custom package for now

@Bimmer_Bill 2 года назад

These wheels are outside xdrive 1% diameter spec. If you use a wide staggered setup like this 275/245 then the from tire must be taller sidewall. Why?

@marclynseywilliams 2 года назад

Any idea on brake disc size? If you could fit an 18 or 17" wheel over.

@Blue_Psych0 2 года назад

it depends on the spec. If you choose the pack with wider tires and the wheelarch-extenders. (in Germany it's called M-technic package) the front discs will be 374x36 mm in front and 345x24mm rear, which means that your minimum wheelsize will be 18". If you go without the upgraded breaks you'll get 348x36mm front / 345x24mm rear and 17" will be fine. Although I must say this car needs at least 19" for looks :)

@SergeiFedorov77 2 года назад

Great job on the video. I.m.o the car looks horrible, especially from the rear. I think they should've flipped the rear light upside down and the car would look much better. But if you like the looks and have the money then congratulations, I think it seems to be a great performing car and it's going to be interesting to see the new M2.

@MotechPerformance 2 года назад

What is you need back seats ? and X drive ?

@daysofgrace2934 2 года назад

Paid 25k for 987.2 Box, Black edition - PASM, Sport Chrono, PDK, PSE. You get two seats but frunk and trunk. Daily drive mine with Tesco Momentum 99 and at Brands with V Power Petrol. Only mod is DSC V1 controller. Pay Porsche £750 a year for a bumper to bumper extended warranty - mainly cause the PDK is expensive - which means you have to get servicing done at an OPC but they pick up and drop the car off so I can work from home. Practical, capable & affordable. Trust me compared to M, RS & AMG it’s a level of precision above & beyond. Lotus, Alfa 4C & Alpine are competitors but not as practical...
