Good review. One of the better ones.
Wish he'd have taken that camera handle thing out of the cup holders. it was making a racket |

Nice review. Like his feedback and thoughts, he knows a thing or two about BMWs. Can't wait to get mine, when it eventually arrives

I would be lying if I said I’d followed the launch of non M cars closely the last decades but if feels like it was a long time ago since I non M car got this much praise across the spectrum of reviewers?

As a previous M3 multiple owner, I can confirm this car does not disappoint. If this M240i went up against a true Mcar on a race track, there would be more of a margin between the two. For daily spirited driving, the m240i is as good and arguably better! In my opinion

So an excellent street car lacking little but it ain’t no M and if you know for sure that type of car is your preference the M240i isn’t ticking all boxes and it shouldn’t. My wife prefer it over the M3s so there’s a clear niche for both. |

I did a 550klm return drive today. The car was brilliant. I noticed that compared to the M3/M2 I have owned, this gearbox is so much smoother! It is as engaging, however there is no aggressive downshift from slowing to a stop like the older m cars. It's just so nice. Again not trying to compare the raw ability of the M240 against a true M car, I am comparing how much nicer the M240 is for a daily drive. I love this car so much! |

Wait a few posts and people will start bagging the crap out of the almost-M 240i
Such is the beauty of Freedo///M of speech

Just visually, even the 230i is way closer to an M car now. I've said this before, but some of the appeal of the F87 was that the base cars where so bland. For lots of people they will actually see the M240i as an M car. Can't blame them, M mirrors, wide stance, agressive look...

I wish I could get one with "moonroof delete" like you can get on a 230i. I'd like to take the weight down a bit and lower the center of gravity and maybe add some more headroom.
Other than that, it's a great car and I suspect they will sell well and may even be faster 0-60 than a manual G87 M2. The grill is starting to appeal to me. I remember when I bought a 135i and hated it, this is the type of car I had hoped it would be. |
