Amazing Daily Driver
Jan 2022 Update: I've had my M240i for a bit over a year. I've put about 5K miles since my initial review. No issues at all. I bought my M240i coupe as certified pre-owned. I've put about 1K miles on it so far and couldn't be happier with my decision. It's an excellent highway cruiser and so much fun to drive on twisty roads. Impressive and smooth acceleration. The 8 speed automatic transmission is outstanding. The adaptive suspension lets you select the appropriate drive mode for your route and mood. Seems like a great value for what you get, especially as a CPO.

Great Car
Nobody else wanted this car but once I sat in it I had to buy it. I also think it has much better look to it than the 430. Excellent for city driving and great for commuting in all weather conditions except ground clearance will be a problem for some. My thin 6' 4" inch son has no problem in the back seat but I have a much bigger nephew that barely fits in the front seat. The only problem I have with this car is I lost two 18" tires from huge potholes this spring and one of my electronic keys went out which the warranty is covering. This may be BMWs lowest priced model but for the money it is probably the best. I have no regrets so far.

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.

Quick comfort, showy Valencia Orange
I replaced my beloved Mazda MX5 with a 230i, and honestly it was a hard transition. My wife hated the Miata, so I was left with no choice but to trade it in. I got a 2017 BMW 230i, with a stick shift, and it has been ok. I have the moon roof, and the car handles great, is a lot quicker than the Mazda, and gets a lot more oohs and aahs. That said, the Mazda is much more about driving, this car is more about looking cool while you get there faster. If I had not had a real sports car, I think this review would have been more positive, the BMW does everything quite well, just without the driving thrill. Update after 1.5 years of owning this car. I now have about 28K miles on it, and a number of issues have come up. I have had to top off the coolant twice, each time needing over a quart of coolant, dealer says there is no problem?? Check engine light came on, then off, was not gas cap but never figured out what it was. Took car in snow and now wheels (part of 2500 competition upgrade) have like a clear coat coming off, dealer says looks like someone tried to repaint the wheels. I did not, and think they just don't want to deal with it. When this car is approaching 50 k and no longer has the free factory service I will dump it.
