Good choice, I have the same colors in my build, fully loaded except no ACC since it wasn't available, no wireless charger and no M color door cards. Is remote start in standard equipment?

If I were you, and money allows, I'd add the package for the larger brakes, fender panels, and nicer wheels..ZTK package in U.S.

Yes remote start is standard equipment. As for the package which is called the M Track Package for 2023 that adds larger brakes and the oil cooler and extended wheel arch's I am not tracking this car and to me it's a waste of money to add those features, this is for me personally. And when it comes to the wheels I actually really like these I didn't want to add the all black rims because they get hidden whereas these stand out more and I did upgrade them because the base rims are cerium gray and burnished and these are black and burnished. I do like the black and burnished ones with the v pattern but not worth spending $1000 on. I'm happy with my spec.

[MPR]

Ok gotcha, I will not be tracking either and I originally didn't add it but I didn't want to regret not adding it when I got the car. Bigger brakes helped me click the Add button.

That makes sense, but I think the regular m sport brakes will work just fine for me. I'm coming from factory brakes on a 228i so m sport brakes are already an upgrade if you think about it.

Nice build! Does the BMW drive recorder come standard in Canada, or is it a separate option? In the US, it is a $100 option and totally worth it! It connects your 360 camera to the dashcam and works really well. Saves $600-$700 if you decide to get a third party system later on, and then you'd have to hide the messy wiring. If you live in an area with bad drivers, the $100 drive recorder is worth the peace of mind. .

Not trying to jack this thread, but I never understood what driverecorder was.. Thundernight, is this a dashcam? or just allows you to connect the onboard cameras to a 3rd party dashcam recorder?

[ryo-]

Drive recorder is an app that will save footage from the last 20sec and the next 20sec after you long-hold the camera button. you can configure how long it will record before/after, but 20sec is the longest. you can also configure what cameras, or all of them, that it will save footage from. it will also auto-activate if you're in a crash.

yes, it's kinda like a dashcam... but it does not have a parking feature which many will buy a dashcam for.

Nice!! Very close to mine, same colors with premium + shadow line, parking assistance/remote start/drive recorder. Was lucky enough to find it on a lot a few weeks ago. Would’ve liked ACC but far from a dealbreaker. I still think this color set is the coolest combo you can get on a 240

Really nice spec and color combination

Drive recorder is not standard in Canada but if you opt for the Parking Assistant with Surround View like I did you can add the iDrive recorder for $0. If you don't add the Parking Assistant with Surround View you cannot get the iDrive recorder.

I forgot to add that I got the drive recorder with my car since it was $0 because I added parking assistant plus.

Thank you! Yes I agree as I really wanted red leather and was going to do anything to get it. And with red leather you're limited to black, white, and Brooklyn grey for exterior and in my opinion Brooklyn and red interior look the best especially with the red brakes.

I would make two changes, one of which you've already made your case to keep.

1) Black wheels. I don't think they would get hidden, but to each their own.
2) I'd pass on the M Highlighters, Illuminated. I'd rather save the cash.

[MPR]

The black wheels thing is preference, some love them, to me they look like you have steelies or some other cheap wheel.

I agree on M door cards, they look corny and will get old over time. My opinion only

To the M Highlighters I choose them because to my knowledge they are only available on the M240i. Also for 2023 I'm losing the M Seatbelts which I wanted so to "replace" that I'm getting the M Highlighters.

The issue a lot of people have with them is that you can’t change them. The colors are dyed into the plastic. So they will always look like that, even if you get sick of it. Whereas the standard option changes colors with the rest of the ambient lighting.

Your spec looks good.

Things I love about my 2022 M240i…Everything! The standout is performance; from grip to fast shifts to blistering acceleration. It all comes together to deliver a ton of smiles per mile. You will love it.

Good luck with yours.

Awesome build just wanted to give you a heads up make sure that the rim and tire option is giving you option 840 increased speed limiter unless you will be limited to 130mhp not 155**

How do I check if I have option 840? And I don't if that's changed for 2023.
