The hidden genius of the 2022 M240i xDrive.
But was the M240i a real M vehicle? Or a 2-series with a few add-ons and a single letter that can jack up the price? On the high-speed roads of California’s Gold Country, I aimed to find out.
I’m a fan of the Mustang Mach-E but to call an electric Ford SUV a Mustang is a bit ridiculous. A Cadillac of today will resemble nothing of a Cadillac from the 1960s or 70s or 80s. A glance at the M240i and you instantly see the design language that has run through these vehicles for generations. The kidney grille, for example—in some unmistakable form—has adorned nearly every BMW car going back to 1933—even the concept cars. A pair of healthy kidneys sit on the M240i’s nose.
The numbers may not seem like a lot: 382 horsepower, 369 lb-ft, and a 4.1-second jaunt to sixty. But that’s significantly more oomph than the base 2 coupe . Behind the wheel, the urgency is instantly noticeable, notably because the packaging is so svelte. The M240i Coupe, for me, is the perfect size for a daily driver—big enough for four people comfortably, small enough to feel like a pocket rocket. Specifically: 179.4 inches long, 72.4 inches wide, 55.
The all-wheel drive provided sure-footedness and, for people like me, who drive a bunch in the snow, an actual necessity. Sure, I would love another couple hundred horsepower. But in reality, on public roads, do you need more speed and torque? And at what cost to your bank account?Speaking of bank account, the thrill of driving the M240i becomes even more acute when you motor past corner gas stations flashing their neon price-per-gallon figures.
