I have this car. It’s fucking beautiful idk why people yap about the looks. It’s classy yet sporty. They balanced the look extremely well in my opinion 🤷🏽♂️
Same here, I’m happy with it, don’t care who isn’t 😎
Besides the rear light being too far apart making it crossed eyed looking it's a good looking car imo, I also likie the new 5 serie's right from the start, people are just holding on to the past every time and are afraid of change. At first everybody hated the m3/m4 with the new grilles and now everybody as always likes it after some time, they do it with every new model it's crazy.
The F22 was beautiful this one isn't though the shape is growing on first time I saw it reminded of a subaru brz
@@swansmeisterI think there is a marked difference between seeing in person and experiencing through video or pictures. Standing at the physical car to me it all makes sense.
That blue kick plate is just a factory protected sticker, peel it off. You’re welcome 😎
^^Yeah. It’s the factory sticker. You can peal it off from the edge
I was hoping that was a troll but now Im not sure lol
@@gravitycat7874 it was my friend don’t worry 😂
the blue on the sill is a protective sticker you can remove....same with the plastic over the logo on the seat.
Yeah don’t worry man, this part was a joke 😊
first two points, I actually love about the car 😅
Love the big idrive 8 screen its brilliant, love the grills, because coming from other performance cars that vacuum up so many leafs and bugs, the more 'closed' it can be the better.
For the interior I opted for the anthracite instead of gloss black, was like a 250 euro option.
The blue on the kick plate is a protective film over the silver trim. Should be able to peel it off.
Looks incredible. Well done chap's. Give us an update when the product hits your store. Thank you
Thanks for the support James!
When you say about the blue on the passenger door (4 mins 50 seconds) isn’t that just the plastic protector that you can just pull off ?
Yep🤣
😜
Jack, get the carbon sills they really set the car off over the silver ones that come stock
I was about to comment this. You're meant to peel those off!
You guys have me glancing at my wallet every time I watch a video. Doing your job well I suppose.
It's hard enough for us lot in work trying to resist buying this stuff for our own cars haha!
Just working my way through the whole UA-cam series and I feel like I’m starting to get to know you more now Jack lol.
Wow this looks so much better now, whole stance and front end looks mega, makes me want the G42 now 😳.
Thanks bud. Appreciate it. Yeah they sit so well once lowered 🔥
I hate the wing and the hate for the rear. My 24 is all black, and I think the Mexican Mustang is beautiful. What I personally don't like...
Wind noise, weight, and understeer, but it perfectly delivers on its daily duties IMO.
Thanks for the video.
You should add the gloss black splitter for the g42 on your website. Can’t stand having a carbon one on the front that just gets torn up.
It’s now live! Check out the store: autoid.co/collections/g42-2022
Overall looks great. I think I'd prefer the skirt winglets come all the way back to the wheel arch like the M-Performance ones do, following the cut line of the black rocker panels against the body color, but the full skirt is a massive improvement over the stand-alone winglet. Well done!
Watch this space! We’re going to look at this
@@AUTOIDTV Oh I'm definitely watching! My M240i is in the final transit to the dealership and I should have it any day now! 👀
Car is just per-fect like that! Well done AutoID 😉👌🏻
I don’t see the ABS black plastic splitter on your site. All I see are the CF options
it's the very first item listed for me
Nah you’re Smoking crack on the boot criticism, one of my absolute favorite body features of my new 2er
Is it true that the 2 series headlights are taken from the Vauxhall corsa.?! 🤪🤣
Not sure they have run out of ID7 screens as cars are still being delivered with the old system , ID8 cars start production next month
Could be hearsay but that's what dealers are saying.
@@AUTOIDTV will you still develop parts for the new M240 & M2 interior ?
@@moominter News on that coming sooner than you think!
@@AUTOIDTV M2 coming ?😀
Took off the M performance rear spoiler and put a smaller one on?🤔
Yup, different style for different style of build!
@@AUTOIDTV must’ve been a pain to take off with the adhesive or did the new spoiler cover that up? I know that BMW glue leaves residue behind and so hard to get off.
@@AUTOIDTV is this the £259 one? I do like how it sits on top of the lid more than the M Performance one.
@@Ghost_M2 We installed the original with 3M tape as we knew this day would eventually come :)
@@Ghost_M2 Correct! That's what most people tell us also!
Trying to decide if I should swap my B9 S5 sportback for one of these. The 2 doors are calling me.
I would like the spoiler that you have fitted to the car do you have a link to it please
Which rear spoiler is on this car?
I got it in purple if you want ppl to holler at you how beautiful the color is (especially when the sun is shining) I dont know why pick any other color.
I quite like the blue bits. Can you buy the film? I’d love to replace all the black interior gloss with blue film and if any left over wrap the entire car in blue film. I like blue film.
Hard to tell in the vid, are the side squirts a different color than the rockers ? or are they a dead on match. some videos of the car they seem more of a grey tone. Thank for taking the time to film this. I will be buying the front splitter for sure when mine gets here in September, I got one of the ID8 models, jury still out for me
Hi brian, the splitter and skirts are an extremely close match to the OEM gloss black panels. If you drop us a message on Instagram we can send some close ups to show you.
I need to get to AutoID with my Supra asap.
Will you sell this and get the facelift interior car as your shop car..?
No will keep this car. Love it too much!
Looking nice, I've got a G42 inbound for delivery for July so will be hitting you guys up for a few bits - can you fit the parts as well or is it supply only? Just don't trust my DIY skills on a new motor :(
Thanks a lot Tim! Congrats on the new car!
We supply and install all the parts on our store so just drop us an email or message with what you’re interested in 👌🏼
Will these fit a 2023 m240l?
You got the nicer looking interior. That screen with lack of physical buttons, no good.
Looks awesome
Did the dash throw up any lights with the cat back system? Looks great btw
No lights. Milltek provide a module!
Camera setup?
Great video chaps
You guys forgot the shifter…in theory it’s great but in the real world it “gets in the way” I’m one who drives 1 hand on wheel, 1 on shifter when doing that with my 2022 m240i if ur rolling and hit the breaks a little harder u will push the shifter forward putting it into neutral. I’ve not noticed it a few times, hit the gas and just revs…annoying!
Passengers door blue seal peel it off lol yeah take off get the edge wiv ur nail and peel off ✔️
I was going to say that it looks just like protective cellophane for when the car is delivered new. Nice one 👍.
i thought removing OPF means you fail MOT?
Please make this kit in carbon fiber..
We have something great coming..
Haha u allready scrapped those 2 big exhaust pipes 😁
Nathan prefers the big ones still💀
@@AUTOIDTV so size does matter 🤣
bro make this car 500 hp 🤩 just upgrade the big turbo lol
Its not far off that!
@@AUTOIDTV amazing.
Yes, the gloss black is an inferior interior. I hope that can be changed when my 1-year old car gets delivered.
Are you guys playing? You do know that blue film is to be removed right?… your just trolling right…???
The grill looks like a stupid moustache. I hate all these new cheap looking plastic active grills. I don't really like the triangle grills or any of the lights either. The light grey makes it all stand out worse.
Opinions is like A-***** everyone have one 😛
The new interior looks like shit anyway dude.
You could have specd it without the gloss black interior. You didn't remove the protective stickers, and then complain about it...is this your first new car?
Says he doesn't like the grill, then goes on to say he doesn't like it open...🤡
Say he doesn't like the new screens, while reviewing a car that DOESNT have the new screens. This is a video about the 2022...not the 2023.
This is one of the worst 240 vids that has come out so far.
Hey bud. Gloss black interior is standard for 240i in UK.
Don’t worry, we were aware of the protective stickers… we peeled the others off in another video. But it is our first ever new car, which we’re pretty proud of 😆
We don’t like the grill in general.
Tried the new screens in other cars.
The video is titled “things we hate” so there will be negatives. But I also go on to say that it was a very tough to do and most of the points are trivial because we love the car in general.
Hope that clears a few points up 😘
