BMW M240i xDrive - Our spec, 0-60, stats & FAQs

Posted 13th December 2021

More details about the all-new BMW M240i xDrive Coupé have been released, and it’s already creating an exciting buzz in the motoring world ahead of its official launch in 2022.

The current 2 Series is a major innovation from BMW as it marks a genuine distinction between the range and the 1 Series models. While the new BMW 1 Series has changed from rear wheel drive to front wheel drive, the BMW 2 Series range boasts rear wheel drive. The range-topping M240i xDrive has all-wheel drive capability, making it an even more appealing option.

The sporty exterior is typified by the design of the front end, with the wide kidney grille and headlights positioned to the outer edges. Trapezoidal exhaust tailpipes are a highlight of the rear, while light alloys set the wheels off perfectly.

Inside, the Sport leather steering wheel with multifunction buttons, is standard, as is M Sport specification which includes heated sport seats. The BMW M240i xDrive has Electric M seats with integrated headrests.

A series of Driver Assistance systems are available, including Front Collision Warning, Speed Limit Info, Lane Departure Warning and Cruise Control - all as standard. Among the optional extras are Rear Collision Prevention, Reversing Assistant and – available for the first time on the 2 Series – BMW Head Up Display.
