    I've owned this for a year now its an amazing car, comfort, performace I'd say it's a great balance of not owning a M car. Only thing its a very boaty ride it needs to be lowered for better ride and handling.

    Great review, if I hadn't just picked up my 24 plate last week I'd have been placing an order!

    The condensation in the headlight must be a thing with some of these cars. I was talking to a woman who had just traded hers in at BMW and she'd had one replaced on warranty for the same issue.

    It’s not the LCI yet. Just an update of the iDrive system.

      Quite a major update of the idrive and interior. May as well be a LCI.1

    It's conservative look that's why I like, where as the M2 is like in your face look.

    F82 M4 or this if you are not worried about comfort? And why? Thanks.

      Hands down F82 M4 all day long. It's a real M Car and out of the box it's set up really well. This M240i is a great car and when specced right. Thing is with most all wheel drive cars they are easy to drive. Get in and drive and give you a false sense of security until things go wrong and you break the laws of physics and the xdrive is like "sorry mate I tried my best". F82/F80 are cars that actually need a bit of driving skill and the more you learn them the more they reward you with driving pleasure.

      ​@DownShiftThrottle very well put 👏 love the part where you said "sorry mate, I tried my best" 😅 an M car is where it's at for a drivers car. If your building a straight line drag car then an x drive b58 is hard to beat.

    • @DownShiftThrottle

      A very good daily. However on reflection I was so confused how it broke traction on the very bend where I've never had any issues with full on RWD cars.

    A brand new M4 costs well over £100k and an almost identical spec M240 xdrive costs £55k. The M4 isn’t twice the car…nowhere near so there’s your answer in a nutshell.

    @dk7541 Před 3 měsíci +2

    Fake M cars i get it, they do cost less for sure. And maybe too you don't want something so beefy. I put in an order for an m2 and my tesy drive was in the city and I would probably never buy an M car for that amount of traffic, it was just no fun to be honest. So I absolutely understand these models

    • @DownShiftThrottle
      @DownShiftThrottle  Před 3 měsíci

      I totally agree. you cannot enjoy a M car in traffic. That the issue I have lol most cars around the city are actually faster than a M car. This is where you can enjoy the M240i

      ​@@DownShiftThrottle I traded my f82 for that reason. Did my best to keep it in pristine condition for 7 years. Enjoyed it to the fullest on the streets but it's a track toy not a street car.

    g42 is a great car for stoplight warriors and people that want to think they're good drivers with no actual effort or skill. i think it's an amazing car for wannabe enthusiasts, but not actual enthusiasts? if that makes sense haha. i sold mine and it's a great car, but i dont think it is special

    • @ababbington1
      @ababbington1 Před 3 měsíci

      I don’t believe you ever owned a G42 if I’m honest. If you did you must be an utter moron buying a £40k plus car that “is as boring as shit to drive” as you so eloquently put it. Tw if you think it’s just its take off speed that is all that’s good about the car then that says more about your level of skills behind the wheel than the car. Nearly all motoring journalists say the car is great but I guess they’re all wrong. I’ll leave you to tell them all 🤣🤣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
