Last week BMW delivered my 2017 Mineral Gray M240i. I had the M235i (a great car that only gave me smiles and fun).
But i have to say that i had higher expectactions about this car, specially on the acclaimed B58 engine.
Let's face it. This B58 engine is very quiet, sometimes i feel the car like it's an electric !! I feel the car emasculated.
I came from a M235i with M Performance Exhaust only and i already miss it. I miss that beatiful sound of the N55 engine. Those pops and tots and that burping sound...
Yes, 14HP and 50NM more is great but those guys in Munich removed the fun in this B58 engine and also in the M240i. They even removed the turbo blow of valve, a sound almost orgasmic for turbo enthusiasts (now the turbo boost is electronically controlled so the bov and it's beatiful sound is eliminated).
I ordered the new MPE and i hope this can improve the awful sound of the M240i.
New M240i owners, i wanna hear your touhgts...
