New m240i for a middle aged man looking for excitement
New the to 2 series forum
I already have a well optioned 2017 G30 520d which the family likes so much and resisted my efforts to trade it in. So looking for some excitement, I went for m240i after a test drive and got blown away by the performance. I bought a new one available at the dealer with some extra options: Estoril blue 18' M double spoke style 719M alloy wheels in jet black Cruise Control with brake function Media Package Park Distance Control front and rear Seat Heating Front Sport Automatic Transmission Sun Protection Glass On account of the options and despite the discount, the list price went above the dreaded £40000.00 value and therefore I am paying extra road tax on account of this. However I love the car and it has now awakened my interest in M Cars. It is so fast and so fun. I am truly enjoying my midlife crisis I have attached some pictures. I have changed the grilled to the black performance type and carbon wrapped the wing mirrors and the rear spoiler. I black wrapped the grey fin on the lower front air intakes and the car is looking quite aggressive now Last edited by babaikram; 06-13-2018 at 11:43 AM.. |

Please advise of the upper end of “middle aged”. I’m trying to figure out if I’m just congratulating you or identifying with you!

I just washed the 235 and 911 cause I won't let car washes touch them. A bit tired with the car cleaning and gym workout this morning. The energy of an 18 yr old did not quite come along with the car mentality. Last edited by emtrey; 06-13-2018 at 04:36 PM.. |

However conventionally middle age is 45 to 65 years at least in the UK. I am just 45 meaning I have another 20 years of midlife crisis

I'm 74 and feel like a kid again in mine. It's only a number. Mine is Estoril too with black wheels. Great ride, have fun with it.

You are past middle age when you no longer enjoy life. At that point you are old and you can sell the car. More likely, your children will simply take away the keys.
Until then, drive on! |

Great looking car and nicely optioned. You'll have fun w/ it for sure. I added a Dinan Stage 1 tune to mine and it is noticeably faster than stock and actually drives better w/ the tune than without. Finding I cannot find opportunities to enjoy the cars full potential (without risking jail time )
I likely could have bought the 230i and enjoyed that car just as much. |
