Hey guys,
I just picked up my 17,240i and it's an absolute rocket! I previously owned 2 135i,09',12',M3 10' and 1M 11'. I was a little worried about the xdrive but wow! It feels like a rear wheel drive car. Love it! Don't know how to post pics but it's mineral white, premium,executive and smart phone connectivity. It's also auto and it shifts as well as I remember the M3 shifting. Got a crazy deal, over $4000 off and 0.9% financing! Crazy. Greg |

It's exactly what I would have spec'd out except the xdrive but I really enjoyed the xdrive and I'll be adding the Dinan tune to put me at 498 torque when I break the engine in. I wish I could have added it with the 0.9% financing but I'm an OCD guy and didn't want all the power in a new engine etc. |

I would put a clear bra on the front as soon as you can. The alpine white paint is super thin and the front of the car gets rock chips super easily, I picked up a 240 8 months ago and amount of rock chips I have is absurd.

Yep no problem. Mine is also xdrive and I love it. Just a heads up for when it is broken in, if you put it in sport plus while it is wet outside and you hit the gas in a corner, the back end will break lose just like RWD cars do, its a rather impressive AWD system. It is also a rocket coming out of corners, there is so much grip. Overall it is such a fun car, you made a good choice

I did the whole front of my car, the mirrors, cup handles, door edges and rear bumper trunk area. I'm almost regretting not doing the whole car.
Welcome the the rather small Canadian club - lots more chat in the general forums!

How do you like your 240 compared to your 1m? I really wanted the 1m but at the time I couldn't jump on it. |
