The new 2 series appearance is much improved with these modifications. Purple may well be the colour of choice. Downside is that the added cost of modifying starts to remove the comparatively good value pricing of the base car. Thank you.
You touched upon the perfect point of the m240i. Fully load a m240i from a dealer 52k add a tuning box 400hp+. Buy a RS3 saloon or CLA45 both standard cars with no added options both are well into mid 50s. These cars are just unbelievable bargins when compared to rivals. Also if you add Motech parts onto that fully loaded m240i its still probably cheaper than a loaded RS3 or CLA45 🤣
@@Skii10 no ,i am car fan , beautiful cars fan , this car is just ugly , look at the M4 previous model not the new one , look at the M3 previous model ,they look fantastic even the M2 previous model is 1o times better looking than this , i can love the brand but if car is ugly i will say it .
I have a 2015 m235i, and have to agree on the daily driver aspect. Is it quite as fast as an M3 etc? No. Just as fun on the Twisties of which there are many where I live? I think so. But more than either of those, absolutely superior and comfortable as a daily driver. And has been extremely reliable for me over the years
At aprx 15 mins in Archie mentions these cars cars holding their money - today (16/09/24) you can get a 23 plate one for under £40,000 - that’s £10k in a year 😢
Perfectly set up M240. Keep my wallet out of that shop! I live in the US, but got to have fun driving on those Northamptonshire when visiting Silverstone
You don’t go to town with the 50k cars . All you have done on every car I have seen so far is Maxton kit Exhaust Tints Lower them on some springs That’s all you have ever done 💀😂😂
Yup, can't wait to get mine and the first thing I will change will be the exhaust. Not so much for the sound but the looks. The round quad tips look so much better than the stock, rectangular exhaust. Where can you get that spoiler !?
Blatant click bait lies! How are you allowed to get away with this?! You even say in your own video "it's one of the first modified cars in the UK". You've really lost your integrity since you lost/gave up your racing seat
They're not stock, check auto ID they did dyno that 240i before adding chips and was running way over 400bhp. Bmw been know to lie about power figure. On carlow rs3 was gaining untlll finish line.
@@MW_1981 they are tuned, it's not stock it's share similar platform to m140i. In my opinion that isn't stock bmw claim 371 bhp but pushing more than 400bhp Bmw are know to lie about their power figure ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jwo07hG_tPQ.html
Can't wait for my m240i xdrive to arrive. I was going to go with the thunder purple color but decided to go with mineral white to get that pearl shine during night and day that I so love. I test drove one in january and absolutely loved it but wasn't ready to buy then and decided to wait to trade in my kia stinger gt1 RWD. Now that I am getting to 2 years in my lease I should be able to trade it in and get a decent deal so we'll see! I miss having a coupe and don't really need to have 4 doors. This car is just what I've been looking for.
Very nice. Archie you will love the new M240i, it has two personalities. Got mine in January, here in Canada. Very comfortable and so fast when you want it to be. Wonder if new M2 will take sales away from M4’s? Looking forward to your mods 😎
I feel that, BMW always has lied about the power figure. That m240i need to be dyno.. no way on earth it's would be running at 371bhp. Archie get that car on dyno I believe that running closely to 400bhp Mark.
@@MW_1981 thank you so much just check it! I knew that was running way more and wow 451bhp definitely not a bad thing. But bmw always lies about their power figure 🙄
Considering it barely lost and the direct competitor to the RS3 is the M2 I wouldn’t brag to much. The M240i even won some of them races lol when it comes to all around performance Audi doesn’t hold a candle to BMW.
@@dzontravolta3952 I had the 8V. Was far nicer. In an X3M now and could have got in an 8Y. Did nothing for me. At all. Hate the wheels. The steering wheels brutal. They sound rubbish from the 8V. The colours on choice aren’t great. I have seen one in floret silver and it looked mega. Just hate that plastic trim along the bumper Side vents are cool, but the M2 is going to look far better if this M240 is anything to go by
@@WaseemKhan-iu4bh doesn’t matter it’s faster 😂 it just makes it look like a wanna be M2 and it’s not ! Like many people who Have the quad pipe exhaust that are not M1,M2 etc
Saw one at Goodwood and so much nicer then the old one! Can it beat a RS3? We shall see. I love the add added bits on this so so nice, just a incredible car
@@MotechPerformance I liked how you made changes that didn’t take away from the car and made some of what it had already to the next level. That exhaust sounded so cool!
