Pushing Limits: BMW M240i Track Experience at Redbull Ring  

I traded in my 2022 M3C for a 2022 M240i. I miss the M3 a lot, however, one thing I can say is the m240i is a lovely daily, I don’t worry about getting a small nick and depreciation like I was. Also, getting 32mpg and 25 when driving spirited vs 22mpg and 16 when driving spirited can’t be overlooked. As it stands with my eventuri intake, AA downpipe, and JB4 I’m at 450hp and 460tq to the wheels. That’s only 28hp and 10tq less than the m3 was at the wheels. For 30k less I can’t justify the M3. The M240i has a much smoother and deeper note than the raspy high pitch of the s58 as well. If any of you have questions ask me! (Also, my car payment dropped by $600 usd a month)

As a big F1 fan, it gave me goosebumps seeing you take the M240i around the RedBull Ring. Quality video Jack, looking forward to more content. Also, waiting on some M2 competition side fenders to come back into stock then I'll be down to Autoid to have them and rear carbon diffuser fitted 👌🏾

Pretty sweet track with all the sick cars....representing for all us G42 M240i... 😁✊️👊

The lambo getting it at 10:02 is the best part of the video

This could be one of the best videos ever in my little world. I own a 2017 M240i and am saving for a 2024 M240i (nothing special, that's just when i'll have enough). And this video is the PERFECT motivation. That's right Corvette, get out of my way! :D:D:D

Great video. I have a G80 M3 comp xdrive but the M240i has always been my 2nd choice. It’s in my opinion a mini bargain GTR.

The vehicle is really great. Especially in tight corners, when braking and the massive traction are on the plus side here. Only at high speeds on the straights, since the 2nd turbo is missing.

Bet you’re glad you ticked that m technology pack for the brake upgrade. £300 or so is a bargain for the increase in disc and caliper size. Great video. What was the strange noise when braking? Sounded like warped discs 😂

Holy crap, the Corvette driver is so bad

Damn I am coming around to the looks on the new m240i.

Interesting to put some Cup 2’s on there. You guys should carry strut tower braces. Might help a bit with understeer

You kept up with that Vette! Impressive!

Stock brakes?

Well it’s not going to be better than a true “M” car. If that’s what your looking for just buy one BTW here in the states we get a Mexican build “m”, lovely. But we pay Bavarian prices, thanks BMW~

Racetrack with automatic shifting? Well....try braking a lot harder: staying on the gas for longer will buy you time. Harder braking makes this possible. That means you have to manually downshift faster before the corner, too. Try 2 gears with double shifting, i.e. down 4 gears with 2x2 double shifting, so you can still steer the car in between. Too late on gas. Acceleration can start earlier if you don't press the pedal to the ground. Gently but steadily pressing the accelerator before the apex will give you increased speed on the straight ahead. When is the car fastest? YES, if all wheels are straight. So turn less, use the whole track. Sometimes even on the straight you "wave" the line. No need to do, slows you down. Closer to the inner side (apex) of a corner. If you stay away half meter every time you lose in 10 corners 5 meter against everyone else,

You paid extra $$ for the M Adaptive Suspension, drove across 5 countries to track your car, and forgot to take it out of Comfort! That would be my luck! LOL

Would love to see your G42 go round against Nath's A90. Weight and 4x4 vs less-weight and rwd, would be hella fascinating! Get some Walkies in the cars for comms and giggles.

Gutted the 2023 model has deleted the gear shift! What the hell is BMW playing at ? Trying to force us to buy an M2? 😩

Have the DRL's been modified to look yellow? Or does it just seem more yellow because of the lighting?

shows engine bay - Toyota Badged Engine cover lol.

Any update about the O2 spacer working

That safety system pinging on the abs activation is annoying AF

Awesome car. Be nice if you guys can add speed and G's to the video.

Did you run into any overheating issues? Does your car have the optional cooling performance pack?

wtf you fixed the rear :O that looks sick

This is the exterior the new M2 should have been🤔

Lol Only got, intake, full de-cat, stage 2 tune, springs, wheels and carbon kit. So just not forged engine and coil overs then 😂 Fast cars, can only assume the new M2 is stupid fast? So what would you get an old M2 or the new M240i??

What are the rear arches you have installed? Looks so good, not too over the top. OEM+

Wow this is amazing jack 🙌🏼👏🏼🙌🏼

Fantastic cars. I predict the 240 will be quicker down the quater than the m2. But after owning an m140i and m3's. They will never be an M car even if they are faster.

wait, is that a supra???🤣🤣🤣

Why the fuck when you show the engine bay it had a Toyota badge??

I'm really enjoying mine, body roll is a bit much though, it's a bit boaty round corners.

4:55 the "I thought my vette would be faster than an m240" moment

can you recommend the endless pads for daily use / track?

Wheels available in the US?
