The 2017-2021 BMW M240i Coupe is a compact, sporty car often considered a potent daily driver and a performance bargain, featuring the powerful B58 engine. Reviewers and enthusiasts often praise its impressive power, fun handling balance, and surprisingly comfortable ride, sometimes calling it "the best car BMW should be building." It's well-suited for drivers seeking a balance of agility, speed, and comfort in a smaller package. However, it has been noted for its numb steering feel and considerable curb weight for its size. The M240i is ideal for spirited driving, daily commuting, and as a "tossable toy," but less so for those needing practicality or a pure, analog sports car experience.
The 2017-2021 BMW M240i Coupe is considered reliable with regular maintenance, though it has had several recalls. Repair and maintenance costs can be high (averaging around $319, but estimates up to $1821). Insurance averages about $175 monthly.
