      @@ravenheart369 I have no doubt that it would sell! I’m an AMG driver myself and a fan of the brand. Nevertheless, it’s a little painful to see that the downsizing didn’t go to a 6 cylinder first. It’s radical and on one hand I applaud them for jumping to a 4 cycl, but still feel with seeing an M240 having a higher displacement is a bitter pill to swallow

      I ordered it very early (July 2022) to make sure it is ready when I must give away my old car. Turns out, I gave away my old car in June and got the new one in August. The salesperson told me that there are huge problems with deliverys of the 2 and 3 series (Limo). Some customers had to wait over a year until it got delivered. It’s build in Mexico and the production over there apparently doesn’t work as planned. But maybe the waiting period also depends on the location from where you‘ve ordered the car. All in all I was very lucky that I got it now even if it was late. But I really can recommend this car. It‘s so good looking in my opinion and so much fun. It‘s just a beast! Hope you get yours faster!

      With the BMW 8 speed auto, you can switch from D to M (or S mode in M group cars) and shift manually with the paddles, so you don't have to take your hands off the wheel, which I believe is faster (and imo better) than a stick shift.
      I haven't been on tracks a lot, though, so maybe I will be proven wrong.
      But I was lucky enough to be able to drive a few of the newer cars ( g42 220d, g20 330d, g23 m440i, f90 M5, g80 m3 comp ) and I didn't miss a stick shift.
      I can imagine that one would prefer a stick just because of the feeling of it, though.
      With manual you mean a stick shift right? Maybe I got that wrong.

Mach1 screen is very small and looks out dated. 3# When driving the M240i and mach 1 on the highway the horsepower difference is not noticeable, but what is noticeable is the fact that m240i has way better suspension.

    • @anhiirr

      DO it the rwd just has so much more of a driving ratio balanced between your feet and hands/steering...so many more inputs and opportunities to respond to what the car is saying/feeling. The x-drive wins at the redlights vs some other hot bois surely...but imo its no compromise worth the exchange of the daily feel youll encounter on your local daily on ramp/off ramp freeway interchanges if you daily yours. That value and feel is just too fun and the power ratio over the 230i makes it even more worthwhile.

    X-drive definitely holds this cars character/charactristics and driving dynamics in the street/road. Other than needing snow/capability...IMO owning a 240i RWD or one as a DAILY is by far the better option in almost every way....from a pure driving/driving dynamics perspective the turn/initiate steering feel on the X drive is just too "accelerated" or too nose heavy for the chassis/rear end to ever keep up adequately. Other than that i could see the lack of 6 spd manual or Lack of DCT( not even as a standard but a premium option) keeping some buyers away for the car not fully appealing to the "SPORT" aspect of current criteria or apparent standards....not that the zf8 would keep me out of this platform no doubt a fun car to drive in 230i and 240i rwd. Definitely feel more car/roll/inputs and even engine/speed management from a RWD. The balance of the 230i is 50:50....so in any scenario where both cars are at seemingly top speed/cornering like down hill or a shorter/smaller track that lacks true/high speed acceleration areas...either way id take both RWD over the x-drive for the ease of use/manageability in those mid corner/sweeper/down hill type settings you just feel so much more with the wheel/inputs than X-Drive...and the ability to react/accordingly is much easier vs X-drive. Its 2000$ worth of night and day feeling as far as driving/characteristics. That most ppl that would pay for a crackle tune and see the majority of "VALUE" out of owning/driving this car would get an x-drive if they want to make noise in traffic/fly bys....or straight line off the line speed....other than that...IMO it truly misses the actual value/driving dynamics this chassis/wheelbase has to offer with BMW performance/powertrains. Whats weird about me is i figure the supra deserves an x-drive/option....bc im not a purist...hell even a 4cyl x-drive....ijs from a pure drivers/tuning standpoint i like the idea of all these different options/orientations out on a track setting just genuinely how they would affect balance/handling characteristics.

    This is by far the most glowing review of a 2-series coupe I've seen. Most journalists I've watched/read have been disappointed by it, as it's less a sport-luxury coupe and more a luxury-sport coupe. The focus is less on driver engagement nowadays. Also, the ///Marketing in the gauge cluster is laughable. A big ole "M" logo to greet me every time I get in the car, even though I know it's not really a true M product.

    Getting close to ordering an M240 and my dealer keeps trying to talk me into X drive. I live in an area of the country where we do get snow(2-3 months of the year), but I also work from home and wouldn’t have to drive in it on a daily basis (drive about 3-4K a year). My thinking is I should get rear drive especially after seeing this video. (seems more fun, less expensive, etc) No dealers close to me have a rear drive version for me to drive and I was hoping that given that you’ve driven both, you might be able to give me a summary of your impressions/ differences between the driving experience of both? Thanks in advance!

It’s definitely not terrifyingly fast but still pretty insane. Of course BMW underrates their cars too so 374 hp is more like 374 whp
