The official AUTOID M240i xDrive has arrived!

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com


We picked up one of the UK's first BMW G42 2 series to add to our growing shop car fleet. The new M240i xDrive Coupé pairs an all-wheel drive system with the BMW M TwinPower Turbo 6-cylinder engine, a combination we couldn't resist.

The spec
- Brooklyn Grey Paint
- Cognac Leather interior
- 19" 893 M Double-spoke Bicolour Alloy
- M Adaptive Suspension
- M Sport Brakes with Red Callipers
- Technology Pack





The M240i didn’t receive the best of reactions when images were first released and to be completely honest, we weren’t in love with the car either until we saw it in the flesh. It’s been involved in controversy since day one but with the right mods, we think this car has the potential to turn heads for all the right reasons.


Being the first brand new car that we have brought as a company, it was a special day for us going to pick it up. Tony Lewis (@trldeals) made it even better, giving us the special treatment down at BMW Croydon - a big thank you to him and the rest of the team. Watch our first impressions and first drive video here:


Our MD Jack drove it back to AUTOID HQ where it was put straight on our ramp, you didn’t think we’d buy a car and leave it stock for longer than 24 hours did you?

Agree. And it looks worse in person

Just because it’s new, doesn’t mean it’s good. I’m sure the shop is going to add a bunch of overpriced carbon fiber crap and then say they ‘modified’ it

Actually looks better in person. And better than the F22.

You’re entitled to your opinion, even if it’s outrageous. But most people don’t agree with you, and I don’t agree with you.

Have fun with the BMW BRZ

So if you don’t like it, why waste your time here? Not being smart, legitimate question. I don’t understand why people, who don’t like a car, hang out in the forum.

Because it's a BMW and in this particular case the next gen of the F22. So why can't he ventilate his honest opinion here?

I just don’t understand why you feel the need to go way out of your way harshing everyone else’s mellow for no reason. You don’t like it. Great. We get it. I think yours is slow, outdated, and old-looking but you don’t see me running around raining on everyone else’s parade. Take up a hobby, like knitting or whittling or something.

There’s respectful ways to vent and share an opinion, without trying to make people who like the car feel bad - which they shouldn’t. I have many longtime BMW driving peers who didn’t like this car in photos, saw it IRL and changed their mind.

Anyway if salty and butthurt is the tone you’re trying to set, do you.

I'll admit I was one of those who thought this car was kinda fugly when I first saw pics of it. Hated how they designed the front end and made the car longer (actually wasn't too bothered about the tail lights). Once I saw it in person, my opinion took almost a complete 180. Although I still would've preferred the front end (mainly the triangle vents) to be designed slightly different, this car looks sooooooo much better in real life and way better than the F22.
