Joe Achilles Final Verdict: 3 months with the M240i xDrive

Joe Achilles released a video giving his thoughts on the M240i xDrive after living with it for 3 months.

https://youtu.be/bS1WjhJLHN0

I gotta say, most of his comments (positive and negative) are pretty spot on. I am glad that he also noticed the brake fade after a couple laps. It’s surprising to me that the brakes fade so quickly. Hopefully as the G42 platform ages, there will be more aftermarket options available that can address this.. That said, the positives are really good!

Re: The Brakes
Did Joe's car have the upgraded ZTK Package or the European equivalent of it?

Is there a difference with the ZTK package between the US and EU markets?

I have the ZTK package on a US car and experienced the same brake issues: https://g42.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1945666

I totally agree with him about the lane departure/steering intervention feature. That and the ASS feature are the most annoying to me
