Absolutely, one of the best reviewer/enthusiasts. Extremely well written, spoken and professional presentation.
I just can't get over the way it looks, I'll hold my final judgement until I see it in the metal ... Or at least until the M2 comes out.
Excellent work like always, M.
I spec'd one up in all black on BMW's website and it looked great! - But, yes, the taillights and weird triangle grills in the front are just awkward.
I will be intrigued to hear your take after seeing one in person . . . it is quite a shift in BMW design ethos.
@@MotoManTV indeed it is. If only they took a similar leap with their interior designs as well.
I'll let you know when I see it and make up my mind. . . :)
@@MotoManTV I have to agree they look so clean in person. The Brooklyn Grey is somethin else, so beautiful
I was back and forth on this until I saw one in the metal. Videos and images really don't do it justice. Once I was able to walk around one , I was sold. Also the performance is mind blowing. C &D tested it. 0 to 60 in 3.6 quarter in 12.1. Was gonna get an 2022 RS3. Long wait and 10k more. Almost identical performance. M240i for the win.
First to all, great video. Love the reviews and the details that goes into every video production. At first I was not a fan of the style, but now it is growing on me. Also, lets say thank you to BMW for making the second gen 2 series. People like to complaint yet they forget SUV are dominating the market.
Unlike exteriors, current BMW’s dashboards look all the same. Exactly the same. From a 2-series to a X7. Crazy😄
Wait till you see the new iX interior 😍
Mercedes also has same dashboard
@@kadekherdi8942 very true, so looks nice but
@@kadekherdi8942 You might want to take a look again. Not all MB vehicles share the same dashboard, though there is some sharing, it's a far cry from BMW. It's a deal breaker for me (among other issues).
It is called ergonomic design, when it is optimized once, why change it? Other manufacturers (MB and Audi, in particular) offer video game parlor dashboards, if you really one.
This is the only review that revealed the grill adaptation‼️ I’m very surprised that the saddle interior wasn’t on the wish list. Even an ice gray to darker graphite grey would look good with that launch color exterior and black carpet. Thanks👊🏼
Even though that is not an entirely new technology, thought it was a big deal because of the way BMW adapted it to their design ethos.
Fantastic review! A lot of people waiting for this one! Thanks!
You, Sir, are a sight for sore eyes on an otherwise boring saturday. Great video as always.
Pleasantries aside, the front of this car doesn't do it for me as much as the rest of it, not to a degree where it'd keep me from owning this car, though. I don't see it become a future classic since I think it's a bit too contemporary for that, however it's a very smart looking design that is sure to turn a few heads on the streets, particularly in that shade of purple. The rest of the car speaks for itself anyways.
Not only is it amazing that this car exists during crossover era as BMW cut ICE production in half for 25 neu EV, it's the basis for last ICE M2, so give it time & as last of it's kind turbo I6 it will be appreciated, most BMWs are not when new, but price them decades later, 507 auctions for million$ because BMW couldn't sell them when new.
MM is one of my favorite auto journalists. I own a 2019. Great car! Initially, I hated the look; however, it’s grown on me. Plan to get this new model after this has been out a year.👍🏼😎
Great review! You're spot on about the throttle mapping that's the first thing I noticed when driving mine.
I love the videos! I'd really appreciate it if you put the $$ amounts of the options on the screen for our favorite part of the video. Sometimes you go so quick I have to rewind to hear them all again.
Great review as usual. Wish they didn’t make the car larger in all dimensions. I agree the transmission is outstanding.
Joe - totally agree with the request for a manual transmission option. Regardless, how would you say this compares to the current M340i?
Love the channel and your perspective. I remember bumping into you at Detroit auto show a few years ago. Liked and shared.
Thanks, Shadi!
Owned an OG M2 and now a CS; this is a refreshing car, but personally I’m not a huge fan of the styling. The increased weight is a big concern as well being 400 lbs heavier than the manual original M2 and 300lbs. heavier than the CS. Albeit the CS gets a lower center of gravity. Just not enough for me to even remotely feel the urge to switch. Great video thank you!
This outperforms the previous m2
Well needless to say, I'm super jealous, the M2 is up there with my favorite cars I have to say, and back in 2019, I really wanted to buy one, but I ended up going for the 230i instead. At the time I couldn't quite afford the M2, and the M240i would have been on the edge of affordability, but since then my career has taken a bit of a positive turn, so now I'm in the position of being able to afford one, but they stopped making them and I'd have to wait until 2023, or, go for the new M240i, which I have to say is winning me over. But the M2 is a beautiful car, you have excellent taste.
@@AndroidSlime it weighs 400 lbs more
@@onetrickhorse Hey congrats on the future car! You’ll have fun no matter what, we are all nit-picking. I’m happy to see anyone get a car they have been working towards whether it is a 911 or a Tacoma.
@@AndroidSlime How do you know that? Have you driven both? There is more to performance than acceleration. 0-60 I'm sure the new one is faster. Other than that, who knows. There is also more to driving enjoyment that just going fast.
Hey MotoMan...I like the Wholesome Goodness that is already baked baked in. That color is really nice conversation starter..."Purple Rein or Rain" either way is says Passion. This car looks Balanced and like it can put the power down. I would also like the a different interior combination to accent that Purple, Rwd and the 6sp manual. I am really just happy it exists as a basis of building a 2022 and beyond Fun machine. Thanks MotoMan for sharing! Bisbeta.
Thanks for the review I really enjoyed it.
The base 230i coupe is an incredible value for enthusiasts. It is rear wheel drive and weighs in at 3519 Lbs. It’s fast enough for normal driving and handles great. Save thousands without unnecessary options and pick it up
for $39k. Drive one and see!
My buddy just got this car; with a manual. LOVES IT!
Ha! I was just looking for your review of this vehicle a little over an hour ago and couldn’t find it. I was about 5 minutes too early 😂
The smaller gas tanks are so they can get higher efficiency due to lower weight of a full tank. The M135i I’ve ordered in the uk has the option to have a bigger tank so not sure if the 2 series coupe will be the same.
Thanks for the informative video I would like to ask about your opinion to get m240 or m440 if I don’t care about rear seats
My f22 BMW M240i has a manual sun roof shade, a manual parking break and a manual transmission. Wouldn't have it any other way.
Supra with a back seat. Had a 21 Supra and it was great.
Thanks for the content. Manual transmission for sure.
Quite welcome, Brian!
I own an M340 xdrive with same engine/tranny and it’s a very good combo. I am certain the 0-60 time in the M240 can be achieved in the high 3’s since the M340 was tested as low as 3.8. Agreed on the lighter interior choice…oyster would be a nice contrast. Please do review on the updated 2022 X3 M40. Thanks.
Got a lot of BMW episodes in the pipeline . . . that one will have a wait for a bit.
car and driver got 3.6
Every video I see makes me happier that I just ordered one of these fully loaded. Now the waiting game.
Love that purple. Glad someone other than dodge is starting to try colors other than shades of grey white or black. I'm considering the m240i as a daily since my main is a 2018 purple challenger hellcat and you have no idea about how quickly gas disappears in that thing... even just driving it normally without slamming on the pedal too much. I can get 24 on the highway cruising but my average right now is 14.5 mixed driving.
I ordered mine in blue. Can't wait!
This is my next car! Same color & trim!🔮🧿
I agree, RWD and a manual please. The b58 is such a solid capable engine. I'd prefer it over the s55 in the previous m2.
Why would you prefer it to the S55?
BMW and Porsches need an Options episode.
Once again the best review available. Well done. The car sounds fabulous from the cabin. Hopefully that isn’t artificial I6 sound from the stereo…. So happy to hear the steering is finally dialed in but dang, 3800lbs is a bit on the heavy side. Hmmm, used manual M4 or new 240i? Tough one…
it is speaker sound
There doesn't seem to be a big difference in weight between this and the M3/M4. I think you still feel the smaller dimensions though. It sounds like the next M2 will be really nice especially with that manual option. Obviously, that might not be in the budget.
@@amiller2121 like Peter Egan once said, “I keep making more money as I get older but everything seems to appreciate faster and always remains just out of reach….” -or something kinda like that.
I recommend the Autogefuhl review. A little more depth.
@@machtschnell7452 I dig his work too
The Brooklyn Grey with Red leather & brakes plus the wheel & tyre pac that’s how I ordered mine. The saddle sports seats are available in Aus but they are a further up charge and do not have lumbar and width bolsters, hence I did not order them being a older guy with a sore back.😎
Would the red interior match the purple paint ?
Poiple good with me!
Nice car!
Overall proportions are good. The individual styling elements are not so good. Performance wise, it's pretty nice and will be fun on the street. The weight is a bother but what can you do? Let's hope the M2 version will be lighter and they soften up some of the styling elements.
Did they fix the deadband on the center while driving? If not then the cars not better than the last generation
They look great in person I gotta say. Almost retro boxy widebody look.
I just dont like the constant increase on size and weight.
Test drive one the other day on back roads, not a track, u could feel the weight of it going into a corner fast, to heavy, and the steering a bit numb, just not nimble enough for back road sporty driving, unlike the Golf R or AMG A35, much prefer them for a true divers car!
The beemer is designed for highway driving as it is in Germany on thier autobahn fast and straight!
I like the proportions, I don’t hate the styling, just not crazy about not having RWD and no manual option at the the higher trims. It has the potential to be a reincarnation of the e46 but bmw won’t do it since it’s not good for sales. Such A shame.
How is it as a daily driver. Please cover that always.
I hoped you would cover the handling dynamics of this car. The old xDrive car understeered like crazy and was severely under tired. It was also overdamped given its handling capabilities. Is the suspension better sorted with this new one?
Given that you drove this car on the track, I was looking for more driving dynamic impressions.
More initial bite at turn-in on the G42, a little less shock bound on loading and overall a softer delivery. Definitely feels like there’s more lateral acceleration on the skid pad, it’s noticeable. Trans is smoother, I don’t know why he said it felt like a DCT it definitely does not. Torque converter bites early off the line just like in the M5 but shifts are aggressive at higher RPM which might be what he meant. 48 V electric assist is not present on the B58 in this car so there is a little bit more lag between gears than the 340 on acceleration but very little. This also means downshifts take maybe a 10th of a second extra in the lower gears. Under hard braking it feels a little more disconnected than its predecessor as it has, night and day, significantly less NVH but definitely stops harder and has more bite, less take-up. Wishbone oscillations have been perfectly tuned out compared to the previous model. Torque vectoring is much better on this car and has more authority at the rear with larger tires to help keep the front rotating nicely. Steering ratio is very direct but not overkill. Significantly larger on the inside, feels like a G20 and overall you have to remind yourself you are in a two series until you turn and the wheelbase reminds you by itself.
I work for the brand.
@@Dgadude THANK YOU for the details and insightful driving feedback. I'm actually interesting in taking a look at the car now since BMW seems to have addressed most of the problems I had with the old car.
@@darrell9616 sure thing. They definitely have. I think they learned their lesson with the previous because they essentially shortened the wheelbase of the F30 and didn’t significantly re-engineer bound/rebound figures so it was pretty much just left to weight and inertia to sort out. This has a lot of G 20 in it but chassis is much more torsionally rigid and the suspension has been properly retuned so the only travel you have is virtually just at the shocks as it should be. The F 22 felt more alive in a straight line but for the wrong reasons with more NVH, less damping and with borrowed arms from the F30s, they left no extra room for deeper ET’s up front plus they didn’t account for the difference in pitch/heave of the shorter wheelbase hence the understeer problem. You’ll definitely love the G42. It’s a little softer around the edges but they fixed all the annoyances of its previous sibling. Also much more daily drivable with the added room and the retuned x-drive finally isn’t brain dead when it comes to corner exit.
@@Dgadude Thanks again for your insights. When I made many of these same observations, people thought that I was crazy, or didn't know what I was talking about. I didn't have access to the technical information that you did, but the other observations should have been obvious to anyone and really hurt the drivability of the car. The reviewers were really out to lunch on the old car and did a really poor job of calling out the deficiencies.
@@darrell9616 Totally agree. I’m a motorsport certified Product Specialist for Bmw by trade, so it’s sort of my job to iron out the kinks. Glad you got some insight from it.
I think BMW has a hard on for the Mustang....M4 and new M2 case in point. Not feeling it. But thanks as always for the entertaining reviews.
Agree, this is the Goldilocks of BMW's. Tossable and just right for a daily driver. If only they still had that baseball glove color from about 2014. Pair it with the Anthracite wood. Magnifico
They do it’s called cognac.
Impressive but my dealer says it's impossible to buy because of the semiconductor shortage... sucks
Interesting museum of cars and a plane- his collection?
God I miss the days when cars like this represented the bulk of what BMW produced. I’ll be the last person on earth to ever purchase an SUV; I’d rather be sentenced to four years in a Bed, Bath,and Beyond than to be stuck behind the wheel of an X7
As a long time 2 series owner I could forget the ugly back side and the massive amount of extra weight but no manual transmission? No way.
Some prefer to go fast, some think they are great shifters. I'll stick with fast.
I hardly recall any small BMWs other than 02 series, 3 series up to E30, and 1 Series, most 4 cylinder. Where did people get this "small and 6 cylinder" thing from?
The most iconic BMW is probably the 2800CS and that's no small car. If anything the E9 and E24 are more inline with the "Freude am Fahren" thing.
BMW has always been known for transforming heavy coupes into sportscars. If you wanted small and light you'd have to shop at Stuttgart Zuffenhausen, not Munich. Trend seems to continue since this new 2 Series is heavy!
That's München to you, buddy. 😁
Bought one. First order in for the state of Alabama.
Is the torque the same as the 2018-2022 M240i ? Did BMW just finally revealed the true hp on the older model and just released the true number on the new models (new body design), but in reality, the same engine (same real HP)
Can't wait for this in M2 form...on Thermal's South Palm.
My next car!
Interesting some of your options are standard equipment in the uk
That happens a lot region to region. Final standard build of any one car is up to the individual product managers in that country, not BMW AG (or the respective OEM).
why they get rid of the manual option in 2022 though
How do you say this compares to the old M2, M2 Competition, and M2 CS? You can still buy each of those factory certified, and they all cost more than this brand new. Is this a price/performance bargain?
Love that color and good to hear the new 2 maintains the great dynamics of the previous model, but boy BMWs are getting heavy! But then, so are most other brand, I guess.
Where is this track?
Moto (for the avoidance of doubt) Man
How is the driving experience and handling compared to the M440i GC?
It's a completely different platform. The GCs are FWD touring cars, not sports cars.
@@007exarkun But the BMW M440i GC is a particularly fast car with tons of grip.
2 series gran coupe is FWD m440i is RWD based coupe or gran coupe
Very nice looking and performing car! I agree that purple would not be a choice I would make, but it is an attractive shade. This is what the Supra should have been.
I was thinking about getting my supra in a purple wrap and this color is perfect
I totally agree with what u said at 10:55 talking about bmw’s braking engineering.
My first car was a 2009 135i(n54 engine)
And it came standard with CERAMIC BRAKES!!! And my god did it leave a impression on me. One my favorite features on the car besides the n54
Ceramic pads, not brakes. has to be. First car BMW produced with Carbon ceramic brakes was the 2012 M6.
you have to be a brave person to pick that purple colour not to mention willing to take the hit on resale. At over porky 1750kg, my C class wagon which is a larger car is 1670kg, the 2 series needs a diet, starting with an aluminum body
You don't have to get the $2000+ wheel and tire package to get the higher vmax. You just need to select a performance tire instead of all-seasons when building the car, which does not cost extra. source: I have mine sitting in my driveway without the tire and wheel package and my build sheet has the increased top speed
Ah, but do you have the cooling package?
@@machtschnell7452 I do not have the cooling package. I'm fairly certain the speed limit is determined by the type of tire, performance vs. all season, judging from mine and fellow g42 owner's build sheets.
Thanks for this information. I ordered mine yesterday and while sitting with the sales associate, finalizing my build, I was told essentially the same thing. Seeing this video tonight made me wonder if we got it wrong! Did your car come with PS4Ss?
@@Jashue I have pirelli pzeros. The $2k package gets the Michelins. But seriously if I put my VIN number in a VIN decoder it tells me I have a higher top speed.
@@ndcoward Bummer (I think). I have the PS4S's on my F22 and I absolutely LOVE them. I was counting on getting them with the G42. Then again-- I know nothing about the PZeros. Do you love them?
My biggest complaint of my 2021 Supra was how it shifted, I felt Toyota ruined the tuning. That said, does this car shift better than the Supra?
Well they both have torque converter transmissions so probably not. That's why I'll stick to the DCT in my current M2.
San luis potosi, my town
This car v is actually feather light in today’s market
Red seats with the purple is the way to go
I think a gray interior would look nice inside this car.
Great review from a great reviewer. However, weight, design and price of the car are far from being convincing. BMW what have you done!
I kept thinking you could get this car with a manual?
I like the muscular bodywork but the price and weight is so similar to the M340i.
For $59k, there’s no way I’m buying this car over an M2 lmao
It’s options dude. A base m2 vs this car with options. That car can be had for cheaper with less options.
@@chriskarsseboom2200 No one _needs_ the options on these
This beats the F87 M2 across several technical tracks. Tune the front geometry a little as it comes stock more adapted for street driving and it packs quite a punch.
My ask is only that they keep the xDrive and add the manual transmission anyway. Would be quite a coup, since the only sporty cars with AWD and a manual left on the market are the Golf R and the WRX and both of those have been utterly devastated by their respective parent brands in their newest incarnations. AWD, 6MT, purple; I wouldn't be able to ask for more!
Spanish pronunciation was very good.
BTW, how does the car look in a lighter color?
Surprisingly good . . . that's why we threw footage of the white one in this episode.
This is the 3 series coupe I’ve been missing for so long. It’s too big to be a 2 series.
No Bugs Bunny grill at the front? I am sold :-). Just not in that color.
Best automatic transmission of all time? Serves duty in a lot of cars. Love it in our Durango SRT too. I digress, you’d have to really think before buying one of these model year cars where it’s missing tech
There’s a reason why they have the M240i. It’s RWD only.
This is the reincarnation of the Nissan R32/33. AWD, turbo 3, purple two-door. Minus the manual transmission.
Agreed...make it 2wd (would kill two birds by reducing weight a tad) and it's perfect.
I love how everyone is always acting like bmw isn’t the ultimate driving machine and there are a select few that still exist. Every car they make handles better than 90% of cars. I have owned four bmws e28,e46,f30,and another f30. Driven g30 5 series, f30 340xi, 240xi, x3 40i on Pocono raceway . Plus the 15+ loaners i been in getting my car serviced. Been driven in 2 M cars (m5 and m3). Shit is amazing. From the 80s till now …. Good luck in the corners with your Camry and Telluride .
100% facts
It's not and hasn't been for quite some time. Maybe you should venture outside the friendly confines of BMWland and experience what other cars offer. You might be surprised. I can assure sure, based on MY experience, that BMW is far from the ultimate driving machine.
@@darrell9616 First thing when I drive another brand not named Porsche is I want my BMW back. One does have to option the correct suspension these days as new base models are targeting Lexus drivers.
@@machtschnell7452 I haven't driven the latest 3,4 and 5 series cars as the styling leaves me cold. I dumped my M235i because of how outclassed it was in driving dynamics by an Audi A5 (yeah, surprised me too) and the Alfa Guila. I drove a 2014 535i sport and it was terrible. Drove like a boat.
I'm not saying that all BMW cars are terrible. However, the ones that I've spent significant seat time in have been. The M2C is a proper driver's car, but it's not for me (too many compromises).
hahahahahahah this made my day, I love BMW and when my friends talk trash about it I just reply have fun driving around the back country road on your corolla
I agree, I hate these new cars with small fuel tanks
Basically, the same 3.0l inline six cyl when used in the '22 540i 5-series makes 335 HP, .. here in the '22 M240i, the same/similar 3.0l inline-six makes 382 HP.
Where is the tuning difference? .. Can't be all with the ECU choice, can it? .. A 5-series with its 3.0l tuned for 382 HP could be a beautiful thing . . . .What say yous,, BMW Fans?
Different B58 adaptation - this is B58TU. Changes to cylinder head , cooling system ,, timing system, crankshaft etc. You can find detailed comparisons by searching B58 vs B58 TU. Exact engine code is B58B30O1.
@@radupiscanu1299 .. Thanx
The 230i coupe would be perfect with a manual.
They fix the grille but f up the rest of the front and the whole rear... arg
I think electrification for everything is inevitable. Making a purely petrol engine car is going to fall out of favour as fossil fuel prices rise. That's why I bought my 330e. Looks like a nice BMW though, and I like the purple.
The front somehow reminds me of the old V10 M6... The back looks pretty weird..it looks as if there was no real vision about where they wanted to go with it which is a shame... Drive wise I get it's gonna be great.
Mmmm. Yes
Since its bigger, no point in getting a 3 series but I’d skip some of the $$ options
Well, if you need a useable backseat there is. Or more space in general.
I would've bet money the thumbnail was a Stinger GT. I have and FBO JB4 420 HP 135i. Its a no.
135i are great once differential, brakes rear subframe bushings and suspension links upgraded to ME ones are addressed. Much lighter and smaller and 7DCT in later years.
Why you yanks restricted to 130 mph? Never heard that before?
Cars speced with performance rubber are electronically governed at 155mph.
3.7-3.8 to 60. Vbox verified.
GTI is now shipped from Germany vs a Mexico production at a premium price and delivery. I CAN'T JUSTIFY THAT. There are obvious cost and quality savings non of which are reflected in the final product.
Everyone keeps saying the M2 is by far the best M car ever produced.
Looks like you tried many cars
he don't even do the lauch control lol
Who is the exterior designer for these new generation of BMWs? Sack him right away please!!
Smaller gas tank in order to save weight with a full tank of gas, since this is a performance car. Tricks of the trade.
Not worth the compromise in usability for a daily driver . . . was VERY intrusive on my time with this car.
@@MotoManTV I agree 100%
I still can’t believe this car weighs 3800 lbs
Yeah thats a shame. Its like my old m3 with a Harley Davidson on top of it i wish cars would stop getting fatter.
christ, to put it in perspective, same weight as my M3C RWD ...
I have an M2 Competition at the moment but this thing really appeals to me. The M2 is a bit too much car on the street. But inexplicably BMW robbed us of the obvious transmission choice for this car which really is a shame. I think it's also worth mentioning there are multiple colours of perforated sensatec available which is a great low maintenance option that looks nice too.
Fellow M2 owner here; I would keep your M2. The resale values are absolutely insane right now and I bet the increased weight of the new 2-series is really noticeable on the street. I love that purple though, it is a rad color!
I love my m2c in streets and b4 owning m340i feel much more easy and fun to drive it in town. Not sure how would be the m240i but I dont like its dimensions and weight as well.
BMW will definitely offer a manual when the new M2 comes out and they want us to pony up for that car instead of settling for a manual M240i. Can’t really blame them I guess. Maybe supply chain issues are limiting their options as well?
@@steveo85 No, MT isonly available for m cars unfortunately.
@@audiophilemetallian Certainly the M2 will have a manual…..
