Wheel.ca review M240i

Not sure if this was posted already but here's a recent review from the North:

Nice to see a good review, if a bit light in the tech savvy department. This line especially made me wonder if our author is a bit of a newb and thinks that the 2002 was named after the year (but nobody proofreads anymore, not even the pros):

"The Germans, especially BMW, were known for their premium compact cars dating back to the 70’s and the 02 series cars are still considered by many to be the genesis of the sports sedan."

Hit home, for me. Good read all around, so much love out there for the F22

"My tester was one of the most simple, a Sunset Orange RWD M240i coupé with the 6-speed manual transmission. An honest car for someone that values driving enjoyment above all, and this is the way I would specify mine if I was in the market for one.

Picking it up in a bit of a snow-storm was not ideal, but the Continental Winter Contact tires never left me wanting for traction. To those who think that All-Wheel-Drive is essential for winter, think again. A good set of winter tires is all you need, and at Wheels.ca we have always been advocates of this. AWD is great to have, but it is a performance feature and not a safety feature as is often misconstrued."

I didn't see an optional LSD on their RWD test cat, either. Game changer in regard to snow performance driving..
