2017 M240
Hi all,
My first post here so please bear with me... My dealer has a 2017 M240 xdrive coming in by end of July. Couple of questions - 1. Getting 7% off MSRP and 2k discount for loyalty and some OL code. Does that sound like a good deal? 2. Planning to get 19" wheels which the dealer is offering for dealer price and free mounting. How does that sound? Or should I get the wheels from somewhere else? Also does anyone know which are the widest OEM 19" wheela that will fit this car. Appreciate any help on this. Thanks. |

Agree...7% beats the deal I had (6%). Also agree that I would not shrink the tire sidewall, especially in the OP's area. I started with 18" and went to 17", based on quality of area roads.

I'd say that's a very good deal, after taking the extra $2k off it's nearly 11% off MSRP on a 2017 car.. Truecar shows on average 7% off MSRP for the 2016's as a good negotiated deal, but the extra $2k makes it really good in my books.

Yeah, it all depends on the quality of your roads. I've read several threads where owners went to 19's and barely noticed a difference in DD conditions. I've got 19's on the way myself, but out here in Germany they keep the roads up pretty good!!

Yes, you are correct, as I recall from visiting and taking a MB C Class for a 120+mph drive on the autobahn! But here, it can be like driving on the moon! Bent rims ahead!

That sounds like a good deal. Good to know that they'll be hitting dealerships soon.
Anyone have any idea when the US website configurator will be updated to reflect the M240? |

19" are sweet looking but unless the roads are carpet smooth, I wouldn't do it.
I would try to keep the side wall to 40% if possible (225/40/18") The '40' basically tells you how much rubber you have in side wall (relative to the wheel size). I think 40 is already very aggressive. |

No on the 19s! Once you drive it with MPSS you will understand

I'm looking at a TT for a weekend toy with 19" and 35 rubber. That will be the first thing to go.

Quick update - Took delivery of this bad boy couple of weeks ago. And it exceeds my expectation. Have been travelling and super busy at work, so dont have time for a decent review. But here is my first impression - I had 2007 335i with sports package and compared to that the ride is so much smoother. The default mode, comfort has everything for everyday driving. I test drove m235 few times but 240 is definitely different. The torque is far more superior and you can feel it. also love the engine sound.... more later....

I need to learn how to negotiate. My dealership is trying to offer me $1,130 off a fairly stripped M240 with an MSRP of $47,720... Meaning like 2.3% off MSRP.
What do I say...? Give me 7% off or I walk away? Oh - forgot to mention a $1,000 "rebate", so I guess 4.46% savings. |
