The new, controversially-styled BMW M240i is objectively a very good car. It is quicker in a straight line than last year's M2 Competition, thanks to the (for now) standard X-Drive AWD system and wide torque band. Its adaptive suspension offers a wide spread of performance in the canyons vs. luxury on the freeway. And the automatic gearbox, in most situations, shifts smoothly and directly. But is it the drivers car we want from the 2-series? Is BMW taking the 2-series in the right direction? Matt and Zack hit the canyons to find out!

M2 because I have one. While I admit the B58 is better than my M2’s N55, I like my M2 for the better handling since I actually track my M2. If I were to switch to a B58 car I’d rather get the Supra.
@OleMisss
@OleMisss 2 года назад
This is a better used value over the m2. Before the market went nuts I got my m240i with 11k miles for 29k. Find me one M2 selling for that price, lol. Compared to my F80 M3, I don’t feel like you’re missing much other than slightly numb handling over the M cars.

It was time to upgrade from my Mk 7 GTI and just turning 50, I needed a more middle-age car. Something tells me I'm going to miss my GTI but when I test drove this car a couple of weeks ago ... I was blown away by the power of that B58 engine! Not to mention the adaptive suspension was nice. Looking forward to this car!

Nice one. I bought last year the predecessor M240i (F22 Coupe 2020) RWD. I test drove the new one but in my eyes the older one (F22) looks more like a bmw than the new one does - the new looks more Japanese to me. I also got the M Performance Front lip and the Carbon Wing which in my eyes make a huge difference - the front looks more like the older E92 M3 with the lip. The RWD and the less weight made me go for the predecessor - 100%. Cheers form Germany
@DANA-lx8cv
@DANA-lx8cv 2 года назад
I have a 2017 M240i x-drive. They are giving me offers to upgrade but i'm not sure. I worry that the new car would lose some of the "go cart" feel you get in a physically smaller and lighter car. I haven't seen a new one in person, but based on recent cars, the styling could have been a LOT worse, so its an attractive package overall. I do like the previous look though. Understated enough to go under the radar but has lots of subtly aggressive accents when you really look at it, like the lovely line on the side that pops in certain lighting situations. More power is always nice, but I don't think i've ever encountered a real world situation driving it where I thought "you know, what I really need is more power". With AWD, it launches like a rocket in any weather, and I can play in the snow with it too.

Also, you don’t have to always change up the aesthetics formula, sometimes it’s just good to look classic and timeless. I mean just look at the Porsche 911 line of cars. In other words, you don’t HAVE to make the changes drastic to have good looks; what they did here was they did just that while compromising aesthetics.

@FoolOfAToke
@FoolOfAToke 2 года назад
You've done the Z4M Coupe twice now but two considerations make me think it could be worthwhile to do again. The first being the affordability factor of them, which is weird to say. But for sub-$30k the answer for 2-door, 2-seat FR coupes is this or a Nissan Z pretty much these days. If you don't mind a back seat the GR86 and Pony cars can enter the conversation potentially, but those are either substantially larger or substantially less powerful. The second consideration would be how Matt feels about it now, considering he owns the engine via his new-to-him M3. Does sports car engine in a sports car make for a more fun formula? The M3 is far more livable, but I wonder if he thinks the Z4M Coupe even compares at all in fun/sport factor. I come to LA in mine often, and can email more details.

@@stevem2323 I'm saying if you're going to make a car larger and bulkier at least increase the amount of usable space there is. Similar to how the F 4 series had about the same amount of rear leg/headroom (if not more) as the 8 series despite the smaller wheelbase and footprint. Because of those Mustang haunches They perform well despite their weight like all the insane super SUVs, they'd do even better -200lbs

Got mine in April 2023 in Thundernight with new screen (i prefer simplicity of old screen). BWM seem to forcing people to increase the likelihood of having an accident by moving their gaze to look for controls. They also ditched the hand friendly gear lever, to an annoyingly small thing, and again, requires you to look for it rather than intuitively grabbing it. Ergonomics and safety anyone? Should be a law to keep common controls physical (especially in sports cars) and not force a drivers gaze to look away to fiddle about. Voice controls are NOT that good or reliable to jump in with two feet. Ever seen a car reviewer being interrupted by "Hey BMW" AI voice mid review? That's my point right there!!

For those who have compared normal M suspension and M adaptive suspension, I wanted to know how good the comfort mode is? I drove the 340i with M suspension and felt it was not a comfortable ride for daily driving. I am having a tough time finding a car near me with M adaptive suspension to test drive. I am looking to get a 240i with M adaptive and will be using it as my daily. Thanks.

The lack of brake power on such a fast car is something I find really unsettling. I want cars to feel like they can dangle me off the seatbelt if I press hard on the brakes, and it sounds like this car does not have that. This might just be a tuning problem, or a press-car problem, but concerning nonetheless.

@@user-le8kv4cr3f I think you might be proving my point. The F-150 and Corolla are massively popular vehicles that are visually bland. For BMW, the last beautiful vehicle they made was the Z8. In my opinion, that’s one of the most amazing looking cars this century. In the current lineup the i8 looks nice, but overall it’s kind of bland as well and that’s reflected in the resale value. The M sedans all look very similar (I can’t tell an M3 from an M5 at a distance). I’m not going through every product line they have.
