BMW M240i: 3-Year Ownership Review - B58 reliability and overview

I have a lot of you ask me about my experience with this car and how the reliability has been for me, as well as what maintenance I’ve had to do, so hopefully this answers a lot of your questions!

LETS HIT 1k SUBS!!🙌🏼

I have the F22 M240i in black (RHD and RWD) .(My second Beamer having previously owned an E46 325Ci M sport years ago).. This car is phenomenal .. like all BMW's .. as long as you're on top of scheduled and preventive maintanence, it will run just fine

[zRaiu]

trying to decide between this or a rs3 of similar year, and i think this is the move. the coupe looks wayyy better imo, interior can come in different colors, and this is easily $10k+ cheaper. appreciate the chill vibe and clarity!

Im about to buy an M240i. Making the jump from subaru after 10 years to bmw I cant wait

Great video bro. One thing I like about your car is there isn't any crazy unnecessary extra pops coming from the exhaust like a lot of tuned bimmers that I see here in Michigan.

Great video man, I just hit 30k in mine, had the car since it had 5k and I think I’m gonna keep this car forever since it’s my first car and turn it into a god dam rocket ship

I have a bmw 330ci e46 right now and I was thinking of getting this black exterior/red interior m240i and this video made me want one more and for sure getting it soon!

Very good video bro, I actually got the M240i xdrive for a good deal and 17k miles two years ago. I love this car and the end goal is an M5 Comp but this M240i is a GREAT choice and the B58 is HARD to beat with everything. The only complaint is I think that the interior is dated and could of been better.

[ntandomkhumbeni]

i think you did a very good job on this build bro really

Thanks for providing all the details of your build! Those wheels look awesome BTW! I have a 2018 M240I X-drive (about to hit 30K) with a CTS Turbo catted downpipe, MHD stage 2 tune, and Xhp stage 2 transmission tune, and like you, I still love my car after 4+ years of ownership. I just bought a new set of wheels for summer use with almost identical offsets (+40 vs your +38) and a set of Continental extreme contact sport 02's; 225/40/18 front & 245/35/18 rear. The wheels I chose (Fast Wheels FC 04, Titanium, 18 x 8 front, 18 X 9 rear) aren't quite as light and probably not as well made as the SSR's, but they weigh less than 20 lbs. which, as I'm sure you know, make a noticeable improvement in handling compared to the factory wheels (mine weigh about 24 Lbs. front & 25 Lbs. rear.). And since I've had a great experience for 4 Canadian winters with my winter set of FC 04's (in a square, 18 X 8 setup with 225/40/18 Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4's), I thought I'd continue being a cheapskate and buy them again because there aren't any other wheels as light that I could find in the same price range. ;)

I was patiently waiting for you to make that video 🔥🔥🔥

Great review! You hit all key points and described the car perfectly.

[daxiongBaoli-xuin]

man, when i see this title, i think oh boy , finally it comes to the end😂

[juanm]

For the wheels you should definitely be able to run 265s. I’m on a 18x8 setup on my 240 running some 265/35/18 federals, on my hybrid turbo setup it’s rips and doesn’t spin at all!

i love this formula of a car always did thats why I am A 15 yr 135i owner.

[grantjohnstone]

I changed the pads on mine and it made a big difference to pedal feel and bite. Also, you should (mine's an LCI) be able to see oil temp on the MFD on the dash.

[nickgallegos]

I have Dinan springs my 18’, totally agree with you on the front end height.

[axlschwartzkopf]

Hey do emd springs, they are statistically the best springs on the market for bmw’s strut geometry which helps with handling and reliability. H&R springs cause premature wear and the spring rates aren’t close to the original springs like emd made them👍

[davidrowe]

Cool vid, I’m trying to get the b58 platform i think the 540i the cheapest out of them all

[north_mesa]

The roads where you live must be emaculate. I put 225/45 AS tires on my xdrive m240 to fill in the wheel gap and the ride is nice. It's so much fun going off road. My plan is to make mine a rally car 😂

[yerktheturk]

Stuck between buying this car or an f 87 M2. M2 looks better has better suspension, but this seems more well rounded X-drive Option, b58 engine, more tuning capabilities.

The narrowness and lack of lsd (which I don’t mind buying and installing) is stopping me from jumping right on a m240. but I’ve heard the overall feel doesn’t compare to an M2.
