Leaked look at new BMW 2-Series / M240i (G42)!

jwr0721 · 07-05-2021, 04:06 PM

I just want to know why the M240i is only available with xDrive, and no manual 🤬

Looks very similar to the last generation, but more refined in design.

It sure is going to look good! At least it has a decent grill.

I agree. It definitely looks like a design evolution. I remember when the first 2 came out - I thought the tail lights were awful. But they grew on me. Can't wait to see the M2.

The [COLOR="DarkRed"]M[/COLOR]340i/[COLOR="DarkRed"]M[/COLOR]440i/[COLOR="DarkRed"]M[/COLOR]850i all have a factory option for a M carbon fiber roof - I wonder if the same will apply for this [COLOR="DarkRed"]M[/COLOR]240i 🧐

Wouldn't be surprise, since it has already been anointed with M mirrors standard.

Part of me is relieved that it doesn't have the coffin grill.

Part of me is relieved that my OG M2 looks soooo much better than this car.

And part of me is deflated, as I really wanted to like the new 2 series.

I don't think they survived?

That's good. Similar to the 2002 Hommage.

I KNOW I will like this car. Very opposite to my feelings all the way along with the 4er.

Thundernight M240i will suit my needs and is perfect size.

Go For it!

Couldn't put it better myself,

The new 2 is OK but it's definitely not something you fall in love with at first sight.

No doubt the technology and interior design is going to be nice at least..

Anyone have any shots of the interior?

Ziosella · 07-05-2021, 05:39 PM

The rear destroys everything. Taillights designed by a dog.

Io · 07-05-2021, 05:42 PM

Looks good, like a more modern version of the F87. The rear looks fine to me, even if it shouts Mercedes to my mind instead of BMW. Anyway, the rear of the actual 2series and M2 look pretty outdated, so this change is for the best, IMO. Overall, it’s a nice surprise!
But I still don’t understand why the OG and LCI M2 had no M-mirrors, and now the M240i have some…
If this is the normal 2series, the G87 is going to be spectacular!

TrentMeister · 07-05-2021, 05:44 PM

Wow the rear end is an eyesore kinda tragic because the rest of the car looks VERY good to my eyes.

Hopefully the LCI has a different taillight design.

Agree. The tail light design just doesn't mesh very well. The back definitely looks better at certain angles than others.

Need to see it in person though. I remember similar thoughts here when the f87 "fangs" were a big deal design wise.

AlexFL · 07-05-2021, 06:54 PM

Front tires seem to be as wide or wider than the rear tires. FWD??

msdss · 07-05-2021, 07:05 PM

it looks like a Kia Stinger.

also it makes me mad purple wasn't available as a color on mine.

fuckers are doing that Subaru shit. offering a special color so people forget how ugly it is.

Cadillac · 07-05-2021, 07:35 PM

I am liking it and I am sure it will look even better in real life.
Waiting for my M2 comp ( delivery late July) after 4 years in the OG…looks like it will be the G87 when the comp lease expires based on these images with only regret no DCT…so probably back to a MT😂

gemini.m3 · 07-05-2021, 07:59 PM

Had to be a disappointing angle on this car huh and it looks like it’s the rear 3/4 and tail light design- trunk dip doesn’t look great either. The rest of the car looks solid but I like the current kidney grille butterfly angular design of the f87 better.

My dog resents that comment, says he could do MUCH better.
