Thanks for sharing. Even his 5 annoying features aren't that annoying, unless of course you're wanting a manual

Good review, another quick 0-60. Looked like a similar spec to the one I've ordered, can't wait.

By now I think we can confidently say that BMW has a winner here. Everyone seem to love it for what it is and designed to be, not an M car for good and bad but a great and fun street car.
Comparing with my own observations from our 2022 M240i I’d say that most reviewers has been fair and gotten it right. |

I can't help notice that UK car gets different seats from the US? Is that an optional package?

Doesn't look like they have adjustable headrests, so I'm semi glad my car doesn't have it? I like sports seats as much as the next person, but the heritage comes from wearing a racing helmet when driving.

They are adjustable, in height. The standard sport seats would be my choice also because they free some rear back seat leg room. On top, comparing both, the standard sport seats felt at least as supportive to me. These one look a bit nicer, but also the standard ones are handsome enough to my taste.

It's a great car, just a shame you can't sit an adult in the back like you could in the last gen... Being a father now (after owning an M2) I am steered towards the M4 because of practicality reasons. The past 2 series was almost juste as usable as a 4 series but I understand the move by BMW.

When they sketch a car they're not always thinking about who's sitting in the back And then when it comes to the engineering side of life there is only so much space

But I totally understand BMW's move, I mean why have 3 coupes in the line up who can fit adults.. just not needed, afterall it's in BMW's interest to push customers to a pricier car if they need more space.

Not to say I don't enjoy Matt's content, as he's entertaining and often has a good analysis of the cars he drives, but I'd argue he's more of an "influencer."

I think Throttle House does pretty honest and technical reviews. I agree it was positive, aside from Thomas being annoyed that his newly bought M2 OG took a beating by the M240. Only negativity they really gave it is the looks, which you'll get on just about every review video on this car.

I don't think they did it dirty, I think it was kind of cool seeing how badly it can beat an M2 in a straight line. Would a dedicated video be cool to see more M240i specifics? ... yeah.
Thomas having just bought the M2, they tried to make it interesting by comparing the two, which he obviously regretted. |
