Very true. I've always tried to strike a balance of being prepared for the future (retirement/emergency events) and enjoying myself now. Tomorrow isn't promised and you never know what can happen, especially in society today. Might as well enjoy a 2 door BMW while you know you can.

I'm 76. My first BMW was a used F32 that I bought a couple years ago. Liked it so much that I decided to buy a M2. Obviously, was too late, so I ended up getting this M240i. I've probably had nearly 60 vehicles in my life, and I think this 240 is right up there with some of the best that I've ever owned. The power of this vehicle, in a moments notice, just amazes me to no end! Sure brings a smile to my wrinkled old face!!! Still think I would have enjoyed that M2 though!

2014, its been quite a while since I had the car it was APR tuned and a blast to drive. Really hoping at some point we get flash tuning with the m240 from my experience once you tune a car its a whole different animal.

Here i thought i would be the oldest at 75 this year, but i see someone (Kel445) has beat me. At least i can say i've ran the M240x at a quartermile track event, but even more fun ran it at a road race course thru Hooked on Driving. Gobs of fun. A fun track that had lots of elevation changes..."The Ridge" in Washington State.

Best was 11.68, had some really nice reaction times at the light, no one was even remotely close at the 1/8 mile line. Lotta folks pretty slow at the lights. I never matched up with anyone that beat me...was hoping to get paired against this one supercharged mustang, he had quicker times, but i coulda/wouda beat him on reaction times i observed. Lotta folks with reaction times in the half second range, if you can get yours into the hundreths of a second reaction times you can beat faster cars.
This was an "open" event they have a few times a year, register and get a run number, then show up an run what ya brung against whatever gets paired up with you, no classes, a real mix. |

I'll be 71 this year and this 240 is my first BMW but not the first 2 door performance coupe I've owned. The B58 and all wheel drive system give the car a feeling of capability to do anything. I find myself glancing at the speedometer to find that I have well exceeded "lose your license" territory

I wish the speed alert on the HUD had an offset as I don't want the alert at 1mph over, but would want it at 15-20mph over. Or does it have this? |
