  • Best Sports car

    This car looks great and drives better. The 4 miles I commute to work in it are the best part of my day. Plenty of power, and a great gear box make it fun to drive in the back roads while the eco mode makes it easy to drive in the city

  • Most fun BMW! Perfect!

    If you love to drive, you should seriously consider a M240 convertible with a 6spd transmission. I have never owned a car which put such a grin on my face. This car is the perfect mix of power, handling, and smoothness wrapped up in a sexy little body. We strongly preferred a four seat convertible, due to wanting a backseat for a dog, extra cargo, and/or occasional passenger. This car gets more attention than other luxury cars we have had in the past, but could care less about that personally. Previously owned a 335 convertible and it was just a tad too weak for us on performance. We wanted an extremely fun car to drive, and they nailed it with this model.

  • Phenomenal car for the money. Really hard to beat.

    AWD, turbocharged and excellent build quality. The M240 is a hidden gem of an allrounder. I would highly recommend this car for its tidy size (smaller foot print in the garage) and performance.

  • Best of bmw

    It’s small. It’s fast. It’s nimble. Driving to and from work is the best part of my day. In fact I drive the long way home and sometimes I speed. So far it’s been reliable. I’d recommend this car without reservation as long as you change the oil and pay attention to maintenance. It rocks and it’s the most enjoyable modern car I’ve owned.

  • My first BMW and I love it

    Fun convertible in South Texas. Still get 80 degree weekends in January and February. Have gotten compliments at Cars and Coffee. Got the Coral Red Leather Interior underneath Mineral White. Back seat is minimal but dogs or adults can fit back there for short jaunts.

  • An amazing used value

    As a used prospect, this car is amazing. I first learned about it from the YouTube reviewers Throttle House. If you want a deep dive into why this car is an amazing daily driver, that would be a good place to start. It is comfortable and refined when you want it to be, and blisteringly fast when you need it to be. It is comfortable and understated, while remaining a true drivers car. This car doesn't suffer from a lot of the bloat that has befallen the 3 & 4 series lately, and if you want a fun but comfortable sporty daily driver it's a fantastic used value. The only area where it suffers (at least for the 2017 model year) is the interior. It is nice quality and solidly built, but uninspiring and somewhat bland. Overall I am tremendously happy with this car, and they are just now starting to come off lease and show up as nice used prospects in the mid-low $30k range.

  • Amazing reliability

    This has been such a great car. I’ve never had an issue with it at all except I do run through a lot of tires as I love the performance. I’ve had to learn to temper that driving style and enjoy just cruising in a convertible!

  • A blast to drive!

    We traded in my 2010 135i convertible for an m240i convertible. The styling, controls, technology, interior, and engine are much improved. This car is blisteringly quick. The exhaust note is fabulous. I dare someone to drive this car and NOT have a smile plastered on their face. The backseat is tiny, but it will do in a pinch and is better than no backseat at all. I?m thoroughly enjoying the Apple CarPlay (my 135 had an auxiliary cable, that?s all). The only thing not improved on the 240 vs the 135 is the steering. The 240 has electric steering and it?s easy and precise; it just lacks the same ?tight? feel of the 135. But it?s a small drawback I?m willing to live with. I doubt many people are comparing this car to an American muscle car, but I must say: I drove a Camaro for a couple of weeks when I bashed my 135 into the garage door track and hated every second of it. Not only was it cumbersome to drive but I felt like I had a sign on the windshield that said ?oh, yes, I think my car is AWESOME. Please mess with me?. The small Bmw is much more understated. However, if somebody Does care to mess with me, I can blow them off the road ?
