This car accelerates and reaches speed with such a lack of effort and drama that it’s almost a complaint. I imagine it would be like Mike Tyson in his prime only getting to box rookies in Golden Gloves. |

An offset setting would be awesome, as I'd like a heads up when I go 10-15 over and not 1+ over, because the driving experience in this car leaves it a mystery. No tickets yet, fortunately. |

I'm 63 and had 12 new BMWs over around the last 30yrs the first one in my early 30s which was quite a step at the time as paid for all my cars outright and never had finance, looking through some of the posts it seems most people use finance surely on a depreciating asset this isn't the best thing?

20% down 3 Year term 8% of monthly gross Given how much cars have risen in price relative to incomes now, it would be tough to say no one should have a car loan of some type in my humble opinion. |

I'm 36 - first BMW.
I never considered one before the end of 2021 and I was looking to replace the civic type R I had at the time. I looked at everything in this price bracket, slightly above and below and this was the best all around by a wide margin. Given the significantly over inflated values of the type Rs at the time, it wasn't much money to move into what I consider a substantial upgrade in the m240i. |

20% down = $12,000 $48,000 / 36 months = $1,333 per month $1,333 X 100 / 8 = $16,663 monthly gross, or $199,956 annual gross I don’t see too many of the 18-25 year olds on here pulling that off. |

And that ^^^ is an interest free loan without including ~$5k in taxes.
I work at a big tech company and not that many people make over $200k in salary (The Bay Area not withstanding). Lots of people driving expensive cars than the M240i. |

54, and my second BMW (1st one 20 years ago). Too many Mustangs over the years, but I've fully converted now!
UPDATE: For the record, I'm keeping one of my Mustangs. Last edited by Dinosoar; 02-07-2023 at 07:53 PM.. Reason: Added Pic |

47 - my first BMW
This is my first luxury brand car and test drove five+ other BMW models including the 230i before deciding on it. Love the car and been enjoying it ever since. |

For you OGs talking about street racing in the '60s....this was my father's pride and joy. I just might have to line her up against the M240i, because that would be one hell of a fun (and loud!) race!

Beautiful car! A good friend has a ‘67 Z28 with a 427 (not original) that turns more heads than a Lamborghini.

In my 50's. My 5th BMW. Love them for my daily driver. Very reliable. This so far has been the most sportiest of the daily BMWs. The rest have been BMW GTs or Gran Coupes or suv X models.
