F80 to F22 M240 - new guy here

Just saying hi - M240 6MT just arrived as I move on from my F80 ZCP.

Looking forward to paddling my own gears and having a little fun with this thing.

Spacers, springs and some other Dinan goodies soon I think!

It was great. I think I'll have some fun with this M240 before the next M3. Although I have to be honest, I hated the 8 speed ZF auto in the M340 so if the M3 goes that way I may look elsewhere....

Congrats! Just got one too. Did yours happen to come with rear floor mats and does the trunk open completely?

Congrats, love mine even though it's AWD and auto but damn this thing grips and shifts fast.

This is my first auto car in my 22 years of driving manual.

Let me check - I did notice the trunk did not open yesterday, it just unlocked...

Not a biggie for me.

Why the swap from the F80? Lease ended?

Welcome to the F22, hope you enjoy the car for years to come!

What's the reason for moving into the 2er? Long term plans for the car?

I as well have driven manual all my driving life of over 40 years. Other than trucks which were auto. I also am new here and have the auto xDrive and love it. Kept my old e46 manual for a fix every now and then.

Haha I just picked mine up last month and had the same question re: floor mats. Only received fronts -- I assume this is standard operating procedure?

What's wrong with the trunk? Mine takes a lot of force to close but otherwise seems to open just fine.

I've become a serial leaser and I thought I would keep the M3 but too many niggles didnt equate to the $86k msrp on that car for me.

This will be my DD with some 'spirited' weekend driving thrown in - I have my Miata for track work.

So far I am loving this car - feels good, quick and well built.

Looking forward to learning more from the folks here and sharing my experiences
