This car should remind you of the iconic BMW Model 2002. It has the look, stance and feel with all the modern safety and technology. I couldnt be happier- BMW luxury at a low entry cost, with all the sport you would want-with rear wheel drive! Shop around as you should be able to buy this car in the low to mid thirties. The A3 Quattro woukd be the only reasonable competition for this car.

Best BMW yet

My first car was a '72 Z-28, Mazda Rx7, another Z-28, a Trans Am, and this is my third BMW. What a ride this is! Definitely beats them all. Had a 2016 M235i and this one is way better. Its the perfect size, handles amazingly well EVEN IN SNOWY WEATHER because of the all wheel drive, and accelerates like a rocket. Plus all the BMW electronic goodies, which are getting better and better. Hate to say it, but it makes my old Z-28 look like something from the dark ages. That was like driving a lumbering tank compared to this nimble little beast!

We bought the 2019 BMW M240I to replace a 2004 Buick Regal (still was running great). Obviously, it was like night and day. The car handles great and has great acceleration. The seats, sun roof and entertainment system are all top notch. The only downsides are that the car with the options that we bought doesn't automatically apply the brakes when needed (you do get a warning light) and less than generous drink holders (large water bottles are out.). After 6 years of owning the car, we still have had no problems . However, even routine maintenance is pricey. But that is to be expected with a BMW M240I.

Awesome combo of sport and luxury

2021 BMW 2 Series M240i 2dr Convertible (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)

Sadly, 2021 is the last year of the BMW M240i convertible. Unfortunately, the market just isn't there for sporty convertibles. Too bad, because this is one heck of a car. Superb handling. Outstanding acceleration. Surprisingly smooth and comfortable ride. The front seats are fantastic. Everything in this car fits and works together like a well-oiled swiss watch. It is an absolute joy to drive. It feels solid. It is dependable. The only shortcoming is the steering. The electric steering has no feel whatsoever. The old hydraulic setup from the 1 series was much better. But that is the only con. One caveat-if you buy one--get non-run-flat tires. It makes all the difference in the world. The car will handle better, and, most importantly, will have a much smoother ride.

I love this car. Ordered mine with a manual transmission. It is fun to drive on 2 lane roads in the country and booting around town. The acceleration and handling are great. Can only put adults in the back seat for the shortest of trips. This is a fun driving car and perfect for the driving enthusiast. Unfortunately my wife (X5 driver) finds the ride too rough and will not go on trips greater than 10km from home. I took it (solo) on a recent 1000km trip visiting friends in the country and it was a fantastic experience. I store the car in the winter (it snows here) as it would not be a practical winter car. Update 1 year later: still in love, plan to keep this car forever.
