Interesting look. Not sure how I feel about the 'tablet on a shelf with a kickstand' look at 4:40. The screens actually look like an appropriate size for the car (4:52).
The dash on the passenger side is a nice touch too (4:28), but is that an option? Also no adaptive button below eco pro (4:58). |

From the passenger seat side view, this is one of the worst incorporations of a large screen that I have seen. This screen design application just screams stopgap, cost savings and were taking our SUV screen design and applying across all models, even if it is completely inappropriate in a performance sport coupe or sedan.

Haha! You aren't wrong. I have a 22 with ID7. I prefer ID7 over 8. I have seen ID8 on other cars, and I don't mind it at all. However, my issue with it on the 2 is that it just doesn't look like it was thoughtfully deployed.

I like the larger screens like that on more future forward cars - like the Ioniq 5... but it really is personal preference. If I waited around for a 2023 I'd still be happy.

I've actually used iD8 and I like it. While I think it could have been incorporated a bit better, I'm not upset that it'll be in my car.

The amount of glare and reflectiveness on the curved screen as seen in this video has me a bit concerned. Hopefully it's just a bad combination of lighting and camera angles.

I think this is the case. In the real world, I drove around for awhile on a bright day and didn't notice glare or reflection that was a lot worse than the iD7 screens.

If you go on the BMW CN website in chrome and translate there’s some interesting information.
https://www.bmw.com.cn/campaign/2022...how/index.html The new BMW M240i Coupe produced from July 2022 to March 2023 will feature the BMW M 50th Anniversary logo as standard. It pays tribute to the first BMW M racing car in 1973, and demonstrates the passion of the BMW M brand for half a century. |

Also note the M badge on the air intake.
https://www.bmw.com.cn/content/dam/b...pc_598_329.jpg All nice touches but perhaps the G87 isn’t going to make its way to the CN market so that’s why it’s marketed as an “M”. |

Terrible. Killed it for me. I was so set on getting my 23 m240 and after I seen the inside I decided to put in an order for 23 audi rs3 and now I gotta wait another year after already waiting 6mos for this. :

They had an 8GC (ID7) and X7 (ID8) right next to each other at the BMW Championship last week, so was able to compare. Guess I like the more traditional design/implementation cause I thought the ID8 was awful in both looks and operation vs the ID7. ☹️

I think it looks fine. People complaining about the kickstand I kinda of agree but as the driver you're never going to see it besides when you're cleaning the car. I do think it should have been molding in or something for a more seamless look
