I really like the look of the M Sport 230i, but this is a deal breaker for me:
Also, the M240i cannot have ACC. I really, really don't get why they don't just fix the bumper. The Golf GTI has it... The alternative is to get the 230i without the track handling package/M sport trim :/ |

I had to look it up. This traffic nanny is a deal breaker for you when buying a performance-orientated sports coupe??

are you perhaps trying to add it with a manual transmission... you are also comparing bmw to a vw... not apples to apples. more like apples to grapefruits...

It is kind of annoying you cannot get ACC with M pkg, but I would not suggest taking a 2 series on long road trips simply because the they are not that comfortable for long drives really. Just my two cents

If you want a fun and comfortable daily driver, get an auto M240i. But wait, my dad's 2014 435i M sport has ACC... My 2017 Civic has ACC...and brake hold too. No need to press the brake like a pleb at a light. 1 hour ride because of bumper to bumper traffic, twice a day? Need ACC. You can get ACC with a NON M SPORT 230i. Makes no sense, really. |

Not on an M240i though...disappointing because I love the M240i. Only thing apart from the ACC is that I would already change the look of the gear level (starting to get old) and the stupid necessity too get expensive packages that I don't need just for Harman Kardon. For God sake, the 230i doesn't even have keyless entry standard...they're greed is such a turn off. This is why I'm getting a Miata ND now that they're getting a power bump to 181hp and I don't need 2 more seats. |

Also, not really, a Golf is a fun, sporty daily driver, with almost the same power as the 230i, but cheaper. A lot cheaper. More like Lemons to Limes. |

And no, one is a dedicated RWD drivers car, meant to be on twisty mountain roads and racetracks, the other one is a sporty FWD hatchback grocery getter. Not the same. For example, My friends Nissan GTR, has nearly the same horsepower as my challenger, my challenger is much cheaper, both fun to drive everyday too, but I wouldn't compare them. Two completely different vehicles in two completely different classes.

The phone is in front of me, slightly towards the right, there is no way I "could crash" into a motorcycle. I'm not blind. Also, BMWs have good visibility. Also, It detects PEDESTRIANS (in my civic) so I'm sure a bike would also be detected. The "future" is made up of autonomous cars, so you really need to get used to it by now. I've been using the car now for a year and have had no close calls. You can say whatever you want, but there is not law for it, so it won't change. And as for the comparison, it doesn't matter, both the 230i has ACC and the 440i has it. Stop trying to defend the 230 M sport/M240i. BMW has no excuse. They are behind (also a bit in their interiors) and I won't be buying it. Miata is a more fun car, Corvette is a more sporty car. BMW M240i is a comfortable-ish, quick, good sounding car, 4 seater-ish, with a good auto transmission. Get ACC for it, just like in the 230i/440i, and it will be great. |

Also, if you don't want a 2 series why are you even on this forum. To complain about cars that everyone here loves? Just leave. Bye Felica!

Just ask your grandmother what car she drives and get one of those. You clearly need a Laz-e-Boy with a wheel in each corner. There's no need for you to spend BMW money on that.

The normal person would not have come to a forum dedicated to that car to b*tch and complain to people who own and love the car about not being able to get the options they want. I couldn't get a yamaha FZ07 with ABS when I bought my new bike, so what did I do I bought a KTM 790 Duke instead. Did I go onto the FZ07 forums and b*tch and complain to people about it, NO.
