This week we're looking at the 2018 BMW M240i xDrive. This is a step up from the
regular 2-series because it's more powerful and it's faster. This car gets a
lot of love because prior to the M2 Competition being announced, the M2
wasn't that much more powerful than this car right here so you really got your
value. Now the M2 competition definitely distances itself now from the M240i
but this is still an incredible mid-level 2-series from BMW that is
really, really impressive. The one that we have here today is
equipped with a few additional options. It has the Smartphone Connectivity
Package, Premium Package Enhanced, as well as the Driver Assistance Package.
We'll get into the details shortly so keep watching and don't forget to give
us a thumbs up and to subscribe to see more videos from Canada's Largest
Automotive Group. The M240i has a 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder
engine paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission.
It makes 335 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque at a little over 1,500
rpm. It also has BMW's all-wheel drive xDrive system giving it amazing grip
and it can get from 0-00 in 4.4 seconds. For fuel economy,
it gets 7.6L/100KM highway, 11.2L/100KM city and 9.6L/100KM
combined. This M240i xDrive is in Sunset Orange Metallic, a new paint colour option.
It's a beautiful orange that has a lot of depth and dimension. This car also
has the M Aerodynamics package which adds a BMW M front bumper, rear bumper and
side sills. The Driver Assistance Package also adds adaptive LED headlights as
well as high beam assistant. The Premium Package Enhanced adds auto-dimming side
mirrors as well as a sunroof. Down here are the 18-inch style 719M rims in jet
black with performance tires as well as the M Sport brakes. The M240i also has
the M Performance Exhaust.
Moving on to the interior. This is the aluminum hexagon trim with high-gloss
black highlights. It gives the car a really luxurious and sporty finish. The
M240i that we have here today has the black Dakota leather sport seats which
are heated with driver memory and lumbar support functions. Behind the heated M
leather steering wheel is the new instrument panel with a black panel
design. In the center stack is the automatic dual-zone climate control and
iDrive 6.0 with configurable tiles. BMW has really refined their infotainment
system. The optional Smartphone Connectivity Package includes Apple
CarPlay, Wi-Fi hotspot, and extended smartphone connectivity with wireless
charging. Because this car has the Premium Package Enhanced you do also get BMW
Onboard Navigation. This M240i also has the upgraded Harman Kardon sound system.
This car has the adaptive M suspension which is standard on this model. This
measures road conditions and driver input and adjust the damping accordingly
for comfort or for a sportier response. You can also choose from the Normal (Comfort),
Sport, or Sport+ modes to customize its handling and feel. The Sport Automatic
transmission adds paddle shifters on the steering wheel for manual shifting as
well as an enhanced shifter with a leather grip and base. The M240i
definitely feels sportier than the regular 2-series. It is about 10
millimeters lower than the 230i models. It is a really fast car with quite a bit of
torque which makes it an absolute thrill to drive. The rear-wheel drive M240i
is being offered with a 6-speed manual transmission but the 8-speed auto in
this xDrive model is pretty smooth shifting. When it comes to safety and
driver convenience there are quite a number of features. The rear-view camera
is of course standard. The Driver Assistance Package adds BMW's Driving
Assistant. This will make the steering wheel vibrate when it senses the vehicle
crossing lanes without having signalled. The Premium Package enhanced adds park
distance control for the front and the rear and the BMW ConnectedDrive Services
package. As well, the M240i also displays speed limit information which
is incredibly helpful if you're unsure of what the speed limit may be. The M240i
xDrive is the perfect option for you if you're looking for something that's
open more thrilling than a regular 2 Series but you don't want to go all out
for the M2 Competition. Learn more about it and take it for a test drive at
your nearest Dilawri dealership.
