New M240i Owner

Hi all,

I finally pulled the trigger on an Approved Used M240i about a week ago after waiting quite a long time for the right car to come along. I wasn't after every option under the sun however the spec that I did want meant it was quite difficult to find - facelift model, built before June 2018 to avoid the OPF (this might be EU only), Black Sapphire Metallic, black interior, Pro Navigation, and Harman Kardon speakers - oh, and to top it all off, rightly or wrongly, it had to be a manual (for information, there are just under 5,500 M240is in the UK and only about 430 of them have a manual gearbox). The car also only has about 19,500 miles on the clock so it still feels pretty new which is nice.

It came with the standard 12 month BMW warranty so I don't really plan on modding the car at this point but it's quite likely that I will at some point down the line since you only need to do a few things to get a lot more from the B58.

The car was bought through a main BMW dealership in England and then driven back up to sunny Scotland (that's sarcasm if you can't tell by the photos).

Cheers!

Thanks! I'm really enjoying it so far but as the photos suggest, the main issue I've been having is trying to experience the performance of the car in a country where it rains more than it doesn't, and having an open diff doesn't help! Once spring/summer comes around next year I'll hopefully be having even more fun.

Not only is it my first BMW, it's actually only my second car and the previous one was a standard 1.2 litre Ford Fiesta - so this is a HUGE step up for me.

Nice, black on black, same spec as mine! Enjoy the ride, it is unbelievably good for the price point.

And down the line, when you do want to start modding it a bit, I really cannot recommend bootmod3 enough. It transforms the car, even stage 1 really wakes up the B58.

I can also vouch for xHP Flashtool for a trans flash, stage 3 is particularly enjoyable if you like spirited driving.

Either way, enjoy the car! It truly is great.
