G42 M240i Stealth Brooklyn Grey Style and Build

Chad_mst · 09-25-2022, 10:04 AM

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

I own a F80 M3 and G42 M240i, have owned the G42 for three months, as a commuter vehicle it's really really good and fun, for performance the B58 engine is no joke.

Mods:
MST intake V2
MST 6" catted downpipe
JB4 map2( 452whp 665nm)
NES 20" wheels (Fron 9J et18/ Rear 10J et25)
Bilstein evo se
STEK DYNOcarbon(Roof)
DYNOmatt(Body)
WMS 4" quad tips

How does the driving experience compare?

Habber · 09-26-2022, 04:07 PM

This should be the new M2.

KJ10 · 09-26-2022, 04:19 PM

Wow this looks fantastic! Curious what the story on the roof is? I know in NA markets the sunroof delete was not an option on 240s for some reason.

Chihuahua · 09-26-2022, 04:20 PM

I might be starting to like the triangles...

M240i looks so much better than leaked M2 pics.

440i6MT · 09-26-2022, 04:36 PM

Modern-day BMW styling is the best it has ever been

NSX2M4 · 09-26-2022, 04:38 PM

It's a nice looking car, congrats. Very svelte. The rear though makes me think it needs to be a hatchback though.

AlexFL · 09-26-2022, 04:43 PM

Beautiful car, tasteful mods!

The G42 240i front and rear was a great starting point for an aggressive and bold M2. Unfortunately, BMW took a hammer to the 240i's design language sans the lights, replaced triangles with squares. From this gorgeous example, it's clear the bones were there for a progressive M2 design. Head scratcher.

novawolverine · 09-26-2022, 05:02 PM

Looks phenomenal!

TruthOne · 09-26-2022, 05:06 PM

Damn that looks pretty sick!!! Is that an individual paint option!?!? That looks crazy.

GuyOh · 09-26-2022, 05:24 PM

the front of your car looks better and more aggressive then the leaked new m2 front

gnolivos · 09-26-2022, 05:24 PM

Lol I would pay more for this than the new m2 based solely on the body styling.

E63M6_G42M240i · 09-26-2022, 05:50 PM

I'm assuming the roof and paint are vinyl? They look great. Why did you go MST for intake and downpipe? Heard the gains on the intake are pretty much nothing over a high flow filter. I'm leaning CGI or AA for the catted DP. I like the dual tips, but they don't appear to be level? These are mine.

Ikester19 · 09-26-2022, 05:56 PM

Looks really good. The paint and wheels are 👌🏼

His follow the angle of the factory rear fascia opening, yours are parallel to the ground. A matter of preference.

Game · 09-26-2022, 06:54 PM

Sheesh. Killed it. Absolutely gorgeous.

That's what the rear of the M2 should look like.

donnyfontaine · 09-26-2022, 08:32 PM

M2 leaks make me appreciate how damn good this looks 😭😭

jojobee · 09-26-2022, 09:26 PM

Thats a darn nice lookin ride. Mine will come with a sunroof though so wondering how it would look with the stek carbon on top.
I think ill go dyno matt too, looks awesome.
