  • Here it is, my new to me late 2017 model BMW M240i! It's been a long time coming but I'm glad I waited for the right spec! Big thanks to James for helping out with the filming, and another thank you to Seb for the excellent thumbnail photo.

      Great choice. Always fancied one of these in M Performance guise. Love the spec - ideal would add sunroof and adaptive suspension too but they are like gold dust! Those bronze wheels look awesome against the paintwork - don’t change them. Think some M Performance side sill stickers would finish it off nicely. Looking forward to future videos! 👍🏽

    Hi, Joel! My name is also Joel, and I also have a M240i. Have had it for four years now (2017 model) and never tire of driving it. Mine has a Dinan Stage 1 tune, CAI and midpipe. It hauls ass! You made a fine choice - I'll be owning mine for a very, very long time as I think it's one of the greatest performance bargains, for what you're getting, in the market now. Cheers, mate!

    A week ago when you asked us to suggest what your new car might be I guessed it would be one of these. Well either this or a classic Reliant Robin, but I think that maybe the mighty 850cc three wheeler was probably too much for you to handle so you went for the M240i. Good choice, enjoy! 👍

    Swap out that silver interior trim with the M Performance Carbon Fiber and Alcantara trim package. Don’t forget the steering wheel trim piece, the gear shift and surround piece and the e brake. 👍🏼

    Should do this Vs. an S5 3.0T and Lotus Evora, would make a cool three way shootout!
