New Car: 2021 m240i

I hope everybody is doing well!

To give you some background, I had a 2019 BMW 230i (there are photos around here). It was a great introductory car for the BMW world.

Fast forward a year and a half, and I picked up a 2021 m240i. It is like having a mini-M2, which is perfect. Even though I'm still doing the "break-in period," I can already tell the b58 is a monster and the exhaust note is much better than the 230i.

I planned it so that the mods from the 230i will transfer over to the m240i; spoiler, MP Front Lip, springs, spacers. I'm looking forward to doing more engine mods (suggestions are more than welcome!).

Here are a few quick shots below :

Hey, thanks! Everything has been cosmetic (and most of it non-pictured).

-Lowered on H&R Spring + Spacers
-MP Front Lip and Rear Diffuser
-IND Painted Front Reflectors
-IND Painted Rear Badge
-Tint (windshield included)

I want to do mechanical mods, but hesitant because of the CEL and locked DME.

That's pretty neat. Sounds like a sick list of mods! The built is amazing.

No rubbing at all. No worries about speedbumps, dips in the freeway, or full-lock turning. 10/10 recommend.
