Hello

I had an hour long test drive in an m240i on Satuday whilst my 440i was being MOT'd, on my own so I could drive it properly on some great country roads.
I haven't driven the M2 so can't directly compare it to that, but can directly compare it to my F36 440i with MPPSK (so running ~370-380bhp).
It was a very different car to mine in terms of how it drove, the adaptive suspension was incredibly better than on the f36, considerably flatter and stiffer whilst still being well-damped. The LSD was very obviously better than the open diff too, as despite being 4WD it was clearly rear biased and when in sport+ with traction in sport+ too, it was very happy to get sideways when you wanted it to in an extremely controllable manner.
It didn't feel any faster in a straight line than my car other than it could obviously get the power down at low speeds better, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, I genuinely don't feel you need much more than the performance these offer....the new xDrive m4 for example just felt too quick to be any fun without doing absolutely bonkers speed when i had that for a few hours last year.
The interior is miles better than the old 2 series, and the tech obviously excellent. Gearbox is as expected, very very quick but very smooth.
If i got one, I'd want it with silver wheels and none of the Mperformance sills/spoilers etc, but other than those I think it's actually a great looking car:
I have an F31 330D xDrive and replaced the OE suspension with Bilstein/Eibach. Much less floaty now. I do have uprated ARBs but it's a big job to change them so haven't bothered.loads of people end up lwoering their cars aftermarket.
Bet you barely even recognise the difference in powerComing from a 2007 Mondeo 2.5T that I ran for 8-9 years
I’ve put a deposit down on a 2019 330i with the tech pack, visibility pack and premium pack. The pics and video of it looks like a lovely car.
Yeah I’m really excited to see it. I’m coming from a Focus RS so it should be a nice upgrade in quality, economy etc. I’m not bothered about having a hot hatch any more.Will be a fantastic motor. Plenty quick and decent economy
Plus the cabin on the G20 is very nice
This arrived on Thursday. 2019 M850i with Tech pack, Premium pack, Visibility pack and M carbon roof.
Lots of man maths involved - fuel prices, the ridiculously expensive warranties on these and a little risky given the economic situation. But I absolutely adore it. Coming from a 2007 Mondeo 2.5T that I ran for 8-9 years
Need to take some better pics for sure in coming days but here goes!
Nice, congrats to you as well then. Yes, for me it had to be the Sonic Speed Blue. I have always wanted a car in a blue like this and it just happens to go perfectly with the blue calipers and laser light housingsOhhh congrats. Also just payed for one 8 series to pick up next week for same reason as you, absolutely loved it and also in exact same colour supersonic blue which is amazing in the flesh is it not? Though mine is the baby 40i, still an upgrade from my current mode of transport, 2 human legs But gawd the 850i looked tempting and sounded amazing! congrats
You'd likely get a much better answer, and certainly many who have already done it on babybmw.Hi all,
I have a M140i - currently no Car Play activated. I'd really like control of Spotify and Maps via the Pro Nav. I'm android, not iPhone. Has anyone tried/had success with MMI box? I have a feeling for the experience to be as slick as possible i will need to have Car Play activated and switch to an iPhone?
