Just bought M240i Advice?
Hi guys,
Finally got a m240i after looking for months. But I have a question for you. The one I've chosen has very good spec and is in mint condition. It's a 2019 reg with 46k miles. It has a full BMW service history and only thing that worries me, looking at the servicing, it did 24k miles in one year. After this, it only did 5-8k a year. I do also have a BMW letter saying how it was used as a courtesy car for a day before. I'm assuming it must have been used as a BMW courtesy car for a year to rack up 24k miles. I can see from the documents that it was then bought by a regular buyer after that. But would this worry anyone? Servicing has been done and logged and it definitely does not look like it's been ragged. As it's 5 years old, most people do 10k miles a year so 46k really isn't much I guess. Just surprised it did 24k in a single year at one stage. Your thoughts on this would be great! Thanks |

Since you have already bought it, just relax and enjoy it. I once bought a service loaner and a friend also bought a service loaner. Both cars ended up very reliable.

This. You already have it, and it's serviced

Garage List 2012 BMW 335i [5.25]
2012 BMW 335is [5.00] 2008 Infiniti QX56 [0.00] 1967 Chevrolet Corv ... [10.00] 2001 M Roadster [10.00] 2022 BMW 540i [0.75] 2009 528i [9.50] |
I have two program cars:
2009 528i, bought in 2009 with about 12k miles on it at about 9 months old. Now has 126k miles on it. Only major issue was a transmission that failed at around 120k miles two years ago. 2011 335i sedan, bought late in 2012 with 16k miles on it. This car was sold to me as a CPO. Now has about 80k on it and my daughter is the current owner. No major issues. It did require a suspension refresh at around 60k miles, which I thought was sooner than expected. I am fine with buying BMW program cars. |

I wouldn’t worry about 24k miles in one year, especially if it was maintained by the dealer. I had to work offsite for many years and my daily round trip was 90 miles/day which is equivalent to 23.4k miles/year. My DD mileage passed 200k miles pretty quickly (car also used for errands, etc. which added up to an additional 8k miles/year so > 30k miles/year combined). My wife’s DD is a ‘18 m240ix and she loves the size (very close to the dimensions of an e46 M3) and the performance of the B58.
Enjoy your car and don’t worry about the mileage. |

The B58 is a strong engine. Engine is barely been used at 46k miles. I don’t know about the MY ‘19s but the MY ‘18s have a barely noticeable pops/bangs which I prefer. I’m glad my f82 is a MY ‘16 which is before they added obnoxious pops/bangs in MY ‘17. The B58 power feels much more linear than the S55 and pulls nicely to redline. We installed a MCS 2WR F/R 500/800 lbf/in rates and ride quality is superior to stock. |
