The facelifted BMW M240i xDrive brings one of the brand’s most compact sports coupes into a new era of performance. Beneath its muscular bonnet sits a 3.0?litre turbocharged inline?six tuned to deliver 382 horsepower and 369 lb?ft of torque through an eight?speed automatic gearbox to all four wheels. This setup propels the M240i xDrive from 0–60 mph in under four seconds, with the xDrive system optimising torque distribution to maintain crisp turn?in and a near?neutral balance through fast bends.
Its silhouette remains rooted in classic BMW proportions — long bonnet, set?back cabin and short rear overhang — yet revised air intakes and slimmed headlight elements sharpen its road presence. Despite a modest weight increase over its predecessor, adaptive dampers and variable?ratio steering deliver taut body control that resists roll without sacrificing ride comfort. Even on uneven surfaces, the chassis holds firm, allowing tyres to cling to the tarmac and preserve the coupe’s go?kart character.
Inside, the cockpit blends driver?focused ergonomics with modern digital convenience. A curved display unites a 12.3?inch driver cluster and a 14.9?inch touchscreen running BMW’s latest iDrive 8.5 software. Physical controls have been pared back, but responsive haptic feedback and voice control ensure swift access to climate, navigation and multimedia functions. Supportive sport seats, a flat?bottom steering wheel with distinctive M stripe, and adjustable ambient lighting add a sense of occasion to every journey, whether navigating city streets or tackling winding country lanes.
The BMW M240i xDrive proves that refined driving exhilaration need not be confined to specialist models. By marrying a potent engine with sophisticated chassis tuning and all?wheel?drive traction, it delivers a dynamic driving experience that punches well above its class. It may not win beauty contests, but its blend of pace, poise and precision secures its place as one of the most engaging sports coupes on the road today.
