New BMW M240i xDrive on the Oberjoch Pass in Munich

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

Had an amazing opportunity to get behind the wheel of the latest 2er Coupe last week. Can't post anything related to driving impressions just yet but here are some lovely photos taken by Dani Heyne ( https://www.instagram.com/dani.heyne/ )

Car was on winter wheels so not the nice looking big alloys. Enjoy!

Love the color. Still having a hard time liking some of the angles of this car. I'm sure it looks a lot better in person though.

Great photos OP! 👍🏻

Great photos, thank you!

I still see a Subaru when looking at the rear, but still very much like the overall design.

Such quality photos, but the car is pure crap looking. My opinion….it's hideous, next!

jmase248 · 11-11-2021, 10:11 AM

Awesome pics!

I can't wait until we can get some detailed insight on the driving experience.

It will be nice to get a full perspective rather than reading and hearing all the "crying and hollering" about how ugly the car is.

looks like the car will shine up really nicely with a paint correction, that factory orange peel is terrible. Great shots!

The new M240i and the current X3M are easily the best "bang for your buck" vehicle offerings by BMW. I would have the complete opposite of buyer's remorse getting this car! I'd feel like a real winner driving it off the lot. And once there are tuning capabilities to boost engine output it'll get even more enticing.

The outgoing model definitely has a cleaner design. This new one is fussy/quirky and a bit all over the place. But now that we are conditioned to the ghastly 4-series, iX, etc.; this 2er is completely acceptable. Overall attractive enough.

Facts! Well put

Love the photoshoot. The purple looks amazing. Would be great to see more pictures of it in a little sunlight.

BrawnyCh · 12-14-2021, 03:27 PM

What size were those winter wheels and tires? Nothing out there showing what fits for a winter set up on these cars yet.
