2024 BMW 2 Series M240i Consumer Reviews

My Bimmer gift to myself

This is my first experience with BMW ownership. I bought this car as a reward to myself for jobs well done. I did about six months of reviews via the web ... professional and owner reviews from the model years of 2022/2023 and what I could find on the 2024. So far, I like my decision on buying the car. I chose the Portimao Blue Metallic with Cognac Interior. My firs long drive was around 300 miles back from the dealership I bought it from. The over all ride was very comfortable. The run flats were as expected. Quiet on well paved roads ... noisy on lesser well paved roads. No surprise at all from what I had read about run flats. Not a rough ride at all. Handled what bumps it encountered very well. The interior layout is very well done IMO. At first I didn't think I was really going to like the toggle for gear selector ... but it works well for the interior of the car. The interior cabin of the 2 Series 2dr Coupe is small, so good choice by BMW designers going with the toggle. I had the same thoughts about the iDrive LCD screen being the way it is. Again, it works. Once I figured out how to get things set the way I wanted them, moving between screens/widgets etc. is no problem at all. The round iDrive controller on the console between the seats is perfect. The bells and whistles that come with a car of this stature work very well for me. I do like being able to program the car to start at a set time each morning and be nice and warm when I come out to go to work. Connectivity between my Android and the car is no problem. Loving the heads up display. Gas mileage is what was reported so far. On my long drive home from the dealership, I ( based on the car readings ) got 35MPG. So far in town, I'm doing about 26MPG. Visibility is good front and back. Doors make a solid sound when closing letting you know you have a quiet interior. The owner/user manual icons are a nice touch. Plus having them on your phone helps. After having the car for a week now, I will say it's been very pleasant. Very little road/wind noise at both city and highway driving. Solid feel to how it drives. Responsive to steering inputs. Could have done without the piano black trim along the dash ... fingerprint magnet. So ... to sum up ... Great ride quality Quiet ride road/wind noise wise Solid build Good MPG thus far Value for money ... yes I would say so Sporty looks ... got that Ease of use with the iDrive 8 ... yes once you get the hang of it I'm happy with my choice.
