Fast and Refined
Have about 1500 miles and cannot believe how quick this car is-acceleration and cornering, yet luxurious and refined. Total performance includes 28 mpg average for first 1500 miles. This car is a blast -I am constantly looking for reasons to go for a drive.

Love my 2022 M240ix
Let me start by saying that I'm a BMW guy, having owned several BMWs (both cars and motorcycles) in the past. I currently also own a 2019 X3 M40i which is a great vehicle. I owned the previous iteration of this car, a 2015 M235i. I loved the M235i for its reliability, build quality, and the secure feeling I had when driving it, but I needed something with more cargo capacity at the time, so I traded it on the X3. To me, BMW build quality is hard to beat. I'm over 65, and wanted something for myself which was fun to drive and comfortable. When I saw my current 2022 M240ix for sale with only 1,900 miles, I got nostalgic for my previous M235i and took a look and test drive. I left the dealership with the car. I was considering waiting for the new 2023 M2, but this M240ix gives me everything I need plus the added security of all wheel drive and a less jarring ride. The car is comfortable and the in-line 6 delivers smooth and effortless power when needed. It has pretty much all of the options, and while I was at first hesitant to go with the "Thundernight Metallic" (aka, purple) color, it really is very understated, good looking and unique, in my opinion. The car is solid, smooth and quiet, no build-quality issues, and again, that engine is probably the best one BMW makes. Gas mileage is surprisingly good for a car with this powerful of an engine with more than 35 MPG on the highway normal. A few minor quibbles at this time: 1) yes, the steerging is a bit numb, but for me it isn't an issue for my style of driving. It's plenty responsive; 2) the Pirelli run-flat tires it came with are a bit hard and noisy, but I believe mostly that comes with the nature of run-flat tires. That said, I intend to replace them with Michelins when the time comes. 3) If you need a large trunk or lots of passenger space, this is not the vehicle for you. In summary, I very much enjoy the car and enthusiastically recommend it to anyone who wants a sporty coupe that is enjoyable to drive every day.

Prius gas mileage
37.5 mpg first 1000 miles,not hyper mailing,in comfort mode not eco mode. Got 52.5 mpg on 50 mile per hour road with cruise control. Extremely pleased didn't expect this. Downside rough ride with run flat tires, good ride if you can find decent road,not many here in Tucson. Mine is purple just what a 75 year old needs. Love it!!!

Can't beat the Performance/Styling/Fun
1st, I ordered this because... Purple! I'm a fan of 2 door coups, no taxis driver here! Its RWD bias but in any slip it goes AWD. In the Midwest AWD is a necessity. The MPG is 32 highway.. not bad for a car that gets 0-60 in around 4 seconds!! Fun color, great engine and transmission, and practical to drive winter or summer. If you are looking to haul a lot of stuff, this isn't the choice for you. It Will fit a Case of paper towels And a Case of toilet paper with room to spare in the trunk if you are a big discount store shopper. Update: this car now has over 27,500 miles. I'm still luvin it. It's run flawlessly, not a single issue. My average hwy mpg has consistently been 30-34 mpg. No complaints.. all fun!

Black Sapphire Metallic
The six cylinder is silky smooth and pouts out good power. Coming from a tuned hatchback it initially felt like a big car with a very long hood. Since getting used to it I like just about every aspect of this car. In the US we don't get the sport seats, apparently, so that's a negative. That might be the only negative I can't think of. Even the mileage is surprisingly good.

Surprised by this car!
This small sporty coupe is both thrilling to drive and surprisingly economical. It’s a great daily driver and looks cool especially In Alpine White with tinted windows.

M240i Brooklyn Gray Xdrive
I didn't really know what to expect from this car. Lots of technology and lots of power. I really liked the test drive and ended up buying it. I could not have m ad ea better decision. The car is a BLAST to drive. Handling is as good as you can get in terms of road feel in a modern car. Acceleration is rocket fast, and with the Xdrive, you just go fast immediately. Road noise is low but not so low as to insulate you from the driving experience. The difference in driving experience between the M230i and the M240i is immense. This car, while not light, feels extremely nimble and agile in corners and on bumpy roads. Combine the fantastic performance with the flawless interior and its a winner. Back seat is tight at best, and Apple CarPlay has issues from time to time, but overall, this is a really, really fun car to drive. An exceptional value.

I sympathize with anyone who didn't get the M240.
I drove the 230 and the M240 xdrive back-to-back. The 230 is a nice, peppy, cheap little car with awesome tech and fantastic mpg. It a short wheelbase car, so the ride is going to be "short." It's a coupe, so the backseat is better than a 911, but barely. At least the seats are rear seats back there. But this car is really about the M240. It's as good as the 440. Rides as well. Is almost as nice inside. Gets stupid mpg for 383hp. And the interior quality smashes all comers. The difference between quality-feel and composure of the two models is enormous. As with any BMW, you get what you pay for. If you really want to bump either model upscale, get the xdrive.
Fast & Comfortable!
My first BMW. I have put nearly 50k miles on it in 1.5 years. The only problem I had is a single parking sensor failed around the 40k mark, easily replaced. I am hooked on BMWs now! Do wish that BMW offered more tech in the lower series models though. Best I can get in a 2-series is adaptive cruise control.

Feels like a cheap economy sports car
There's so many little details all over that just make me feel like I'm almost driving a cheap knock-off compared to driving older BMW's. Such a lack of attention to detail and such cheap components just tells you how much they will cut costs while jacking up the price. The wireless charger they put in this vehicle you should have for year and years to come...a fast charger, right!? Nope. Just garbage slow trickle wireless charger that won't even be able to actually charge your phone if it's connected to android auto because it's SO slow. So they of course put a usc-c fast charger front and center to use? Nope. Usb-A slow charger. The paint chips like crazy, it's a sports car, it should have quality paint that can handle a little at speeds. Even the glass gets nicks easily. The steering wheel warmer is terrible. The seat warmer, and reardefroster doesn't seem to be able to activate with remote start. The car gets bigger and the space in the back seats just gets smaller. The voice controls are terrible & they don't even have a detailed list of commands for you to use. I'm 6 foot tall and the whole console is way too far. The controls are terrible, all feeling the same when you want some type of textures to differentiate while you're trying to use buttons while driving. It's ridiculous how uncomfortable the whole thing is, I'd put it 1.5 or 2 steps above those basic work trucks that have terrible cheapest possible seats. The window sill is too high, and door armrest is too low. The seats feel like they're made to accommodate an ever increasingly obese population and I'm not even skinny. All in all it feels like BMW now stands for Barely Made Working. And they should remove any references to "driver experience" or whatever they always try to brand themselves with because that's not remotely true anymore.

I wish this handled as well as our.Outback
35 mpg on my recent 1600 mile trip is superb. Seats are great as is the effortless power. Now to the truth about modern BMW’s. The steering feel is terrible with less feel than a Logitech wheel, Braking feel is worse and unpredictable. When you try to stop this car, it feels like something is pulsing the breaks and transmission. I don’t get this ultimate drivers car, this is the modern Eldorado.
