  • The BMW 2 Series hasn't been around very long, but it's already made an impact in BMW's long history. The 2022 BMW M240i is all new, built on a new platform, has an updated interior, and refreshed looks. In a segment where there's not a lot of options to choose from, the BMW M240i makes the case for itself to be the best sports car for $50k. So, is the G42 BMW M240i worth taking a look at, or will it pale in comparison to the F22? Let's find out!
    Huge thank you to Herb Chambers BMW of Sudbury for providing the BMW M240i for this review!

    I've just ordered mine 2 weeks ago, it's a blast to drive!
    Being all my life a big JDM fan and owned some, and drive a quite few amount including European supercars dreaming of maybe one day having my ultimate goal but with prices skyrocketing and difficult and expensive importing fees the R34 GTR, so initially i wanted to trade my Accord Type S here in europe for the civic type r limited edition, it's a very good car but different, randomly i went to the BMW dealer and tried the new M240i and man i couldn't believe it, for me is like a german Skyline but newer and better i can say that i am happy with my choice and as you say at the conclusions you don't need the m2 or m3 to have a good driving experience, this m240i is already more powerful than a m3 from some years ago and the chassis and suspension set up is excellent, just would like to be lighter, for the rest awesome car and as you also pointed it's unrivaled. Now i have to wait till June to arrive.
    Very nice and informative review, didn't know your channel its great!

    Love your content. So if you were looking at the S3 and the m240i, considering both are similarly priced, which would you go with?

    • @BostonAutoBlog
      @BostonAutoBlog  2 роки тому +2

      I asked myself that same question after the test drive, and I’d have to go with the M240i simply because of the B58 Inline 6.
      On the other hand Audi’s digital cockpit and MMI user interface is better than what BMW offers in my opinion, and the interior as a whole has been upgraded to where it resembles an A4/S4.
      The deciding factor is that BMW put the 2 Series coupe on the CLAR platform making it ride and handle really well and it now feels like a baby 4 Series.
      2 really solid cars where I don’t think you make a mistake choosing one over the other. It just comes down to personal preference.

      @@BostonAutoBlog I had an S3, and I really liked the car except for the fact that you had to hit that switch for the auto start/stop function EVERY time you started the car. It drove me absolutely crazy. BMW doesn't do that. Hit the button ONCE and it turns off permanently unless for some strange reason you turn it back on again. I traded that S3 for an X3, and its no looking back. This M240 however, I think looks great in blue, black or red.

    Great improvement in the performance department, but what's up with that weird, tacky design on the inside of the doors? And those grills, not a good look! And thumbs down for getting rid of the manual transmission. And don't get me started on the stupid instrument panel. Wtf, BMW? I will say, though, that the car has an outstanding profile.

    There should be a vehicle design course based on the latest BMW designs alone. They have somehow managed to find so many ways to create ugly that it’s a one stop shop for everything not to do.

      Yes, why they've been expanding for 6 decades. BMW not a volume manufacturer, they sell fraction of majors, they don't have to appeal to everyone (you) so they don't try to. Irrelevant as market changes to BEV.

    I love this. Looks like BMW went back to their routes with this one and would buy it if I didn't have 2 kids. If I could I would have the M240i xDrive with that red interior with the Melbourne Red or Portimao blue. This, 3, 5, 8, X3, X5 look and drive good. Still doesn't excuse that abysmal excuse of a designer for his crimes against car design and humanity with the 2 Gran Coupé, 4/M4, 7 Series, X4/X6, X7, i4 and his worst shitebox of them all, the biggest crime of them all... the brand new iX. That designer doesn't wanna come near me as you would all know what I do to people in American Psycho...
