Does that light up as part of the ambient lighting?

Doubt it. Nobody is complaining about the 3-series, 5-series, X3, X5, etc.

But BMW for some reason wants to beat the 4-series, M3/4, Z4, iX, 7-series, and now this with the ugly stick with varying effort.

LoL, here, let me kick it off:

"Ahhhh, ahhhh! It's sacrilegious to put M colors on a non-M car! Ahhh! You are going to burn in hell for this BMW!"

And scene..

Accurate. This car is going to be a winner whether the fan base says it is or not.

Standard seats should have the red option and available in US. Not sure if UK config allows un-checking of those sport seats option which seem to be only black or cognac.

They are probably saving red leather for some sort of special edition..

However, those brolic M seats more than makes up for this..

I posted a pic of the sport seats earlier in this thread. If these are available in the 240 then for sure the full carbon seats from the M3/4 will be an option on the G87.

Those triangles in the front bumper are something else. Otherwise looks pretty good

I want Red sport seats in Melbourne red paint. Black or cognac is a crappy choice on the M240i

What in the world is that? Some sort of ambient lighting? Looks incredibly tacky.

[stein_325i]

I'm hoping we get a bit more options for the trim and wheels, not too much to choose from. Also hope those rocker panels can be colored, they remind me of cladding on an SUV. Thundernight is definitely the way to go in my opinion.

Except there's absolutely nothing wrong with this 2 series, it's normal BMW design. Only bad part is the somewhat off-proportional rear taillights, but the F22 was just the same. The G42 hate is just completely unjustified.

Nope, looks like a mini mustang to me, especially with the flat area around the front fenders.

Totally agree. The F22 was very underwhelming, this one has a muscular look and looks much like the previous M2 in terms of proportions

Anyone completed a configuration?
The price of a specced new M240 is pretty the same as a M2C here.

I just noticed that on the German configurator that a red interior is available on the M240i, but not on the UK configurator.

[babaikram]

Does it come with LSD as standard?

[kyleb350]

Ooo... That Tacora red interior looks nice with the Thundernight purple exterior

Yes, it's in the options. It's has ambient lighting in that panel as standard, the option lets you set it to the M colours
