Used 2017 BMW 2 Series M240i xDrive Consumer Reviews
My M240i is a keeper!
This is an awesome car period. There are some things I would like to see changed but you can find that in any car. I had a 2011 E90 M3 and loved everything about the car except for the 14 Mpg City and 21 Hwy. Maybe gas mileage doesn't bother you and that's fine but it bugs me a lot. I have a history of only keeping a car for two years but I am keeping this one. I call the M240i the perfect car, great performance, superb handling plus super gas mileage. You better get great MPG with the cars 13 gallon fuel tank, that's one of my gripes about the car. Another is the car wont stay in a paddle shifted downshift, it will revert to automatic shifting w/o notice. I know that fake engine noise comes over the stereo speakers but I have not heard that. The upgrade Harman Kardon for $850 isn't worth it, the speakers are lacking and even though the radio head unit does have a 12G music box storage you can't enter the artist name or album name so finding it again is a pain. I replaced the Harman Kardon speakers in my car with the Bevsound ones and it was a vast improvement. Entering an address into the navigation system is a pain and I have trouble entering numbers. I use the voice command it is as easy a saying the address, it works very well. The ride in comfort mode isn't the most comfortable but I guess with an M car that's what you get. Personally I would like it a little softer but it's not a deal breaker. The electric power steering took a while for me to get used to, the slightest movement of the steering wheel and the car starts heading that way. The Xdrive works seamlessly and gives me a sense of good traction on hard driving through the corners. I can't feel that it's working but the way the car holds the road you know it is. BMW resale values might not be the best but I don't care. You can bury me in this car, I plan on keeping it. 5 ***** 4/10/20 I don't know how long ago I wrote this first review but I am still a huge M240i fan. I have had no problems except when my diet coke spilled around the I Drive controller and made the functions unreliable. My dealer took it apart and cleaned it up for no charge which I thought was awesome. Only had it in to the dealer for that and oil changes. Still plan on keeping this one, you don't get rid of perfection, I love this car.

2017 m240i bmw xdrive convertible
I had a 1999 M3 convertible. Unfortunately I skipped the e46 convertible and was faced with the v8 and the hardtop convertible. The 2017 is the exact same size on the outside that the 99 M3 was. It also has 90 horsepower more and with the all wheel drive and all the safety nannies is "almost" impossible to break loose. The handling is superb. The top speed seems to be a little higher as well. I have taken both of them up to 140mph and they both have superior handling. The current set of run=flats seem to not have the bad characteristics of the earlier ones. The car is very comfortable and the voice recognition recognises all the addresses I have put into it. The power steering is unobtrusive and the car really gives you a feeling to the road. I have had the car 5 years now and it is still as good as ever. What I really like is the really comfortable seats. I had a minor accident and my front wheel scraped the side if another car. It cost 7500 which is very high.

Most Fun Car I Have Ever Owned
I have owned Porsche, BMW, Lexus and Audi models the last twenty years, and my wife wanted a small, sporty, four seat convertible (for dog, bags, or ocaissional passenger). The car is an absolute blast to drive and the perfect amount of power, smoothness, and handling. A six speed manual is a must, and have really loved the rev-matching feature for butter smooth shifts. This car is a beast and cars that are well taken care of will age well.
