M240xi on Order.
Hello everyone !
I have reading the BMW forums since the 2 series came out. To me, no matter which model you choose, its an awesome car. I thought it would be hard to choose between the 2 series and its competitors but as soon as I tried it I was convinced it was my dream car. My dealer had an allocation to be delivered in June and they were able to change the color and options to match what I wanted. It will be an M240xi in Estoril Blue. I don't need to tell you it will be the longest 3 months ever... Not sure when I will get my VIN so I can track the car. I will be shopping for accessories online in the mean time. Other than the BMW dealers, do you know of any website where we can purchase M performance accessories in Canada? |

United BMW will...I've bought all my parts from them... They don't have the MPE listed for the 240..that's why I was asking earlier. When you work out the conversion(even with PayPal giving us 71cents on the dollar.)it still works out cheaper.

Does the MPE for the 240 have the exhaust valve? |

Wow, I am so excited. Got a call from my sales rep today. Car should be at the dealer at the end of next week. They had originally told me the delivery was in June... so a month earlier than I thought.

Congrats! I can't believe you're getting it so quickly. My dealer was able to modify an allocation for me in mid March. It just got built yesterday and it's now on its way to Bremerhaven. I probably have about 3 weeks to or longer to go before I get mine.

Congrats on your purchase. You're going to love the M240i. I've had mine for about a month or so now. I ordered mine last December and had to wait over 2 months. It would of arrived earlier but there was a huge snowstorm in Halifax which put everything to a halt. Mine is also Estoril Blue with Coral red leather and piano black trim. The 2 month wait was pretty bad...what's worse was I had to contain myself and drive the car like a normal person and not floor it or do launches until 2,000kms. Also not to exceed 4,500rpms and 160km/hr. How did I do? Not very well 😜. Anyway, it's a solid car and you'll be blown away at how quickly it accelerates and pulls in any gear. The new B58 motor is a beast. As for mods I bought gloss black grills on the first day, tinted it on the second day and ordered the front splitter and rear spoiler a few weeks later. I'm also getting a tune in the form of a JB4 and contemplating catless dp's.
Enjoy your car! |

Thanks! I am worried about by right foot during the break in too... I was lucky enough to drive both the 230i and M240i before buying so I know what is coming. :-) Other than my boss's 911, the 2 series is the only car I drove that gave me a smile like when I had a sport bike. |

I've found calling BMW NA is the most accurate want to track and they're don't always have the most current info.

I wanted to see my car before PDI so I was pretty excited when my sales rep called today saying my car was in the lot. I am officially picking it up next Friday but I was able to sit in it and rev it a little. I don't know how I will manage to sleep for the next week. There was an M4 GTS in the show room, never seen one of these before. Really nice car.
Never put photos on the forum yet but will try to in a few minutes... Last edited by zikolai; 04-21-2017 at 08:25 PM.. |

I don't know how you can wait till next Friday. Any reason my your waiting a week to pick her up?
BTW, to post pics you need to be in the Advanced "Go Advanced" section. There you'll find a picture icon.. Click it and a window will pop up asking for the URL of the image location.

Nice! So many people on here get the 240, I keep seconding guessing myself on my 230 order. If you guys keep posting M240 pics, I might have to nix my 230 order and reorder a M240...
I think I might go and tell my dealer to let me inspect the car before the PDI it too.. That way I can peal off the shipping plastic. I hope you and your son enjoy the new ride. I'm pretty sure you both will. I've got a 6yo.. Every time he sees a convertible, since he was 3, he's said it's a car with no roof! I haven't told him I've ordered it... He's going to be in for a surprise!

Congrats!! My 2 month plus wait was extremely excruciating. Trust me it's worth the wait. I also have mine in Estoril Blue but with Coral red interior. Enjoy!

I wanted to see the car before PDI just to make sure there was no apparent damage during transport... maybe its just me being paranoiac but I am happy its all good and damn I find this car is just the right size. I just can't wait :-) I am sure your son will freak out when he sees the car. My boss has a 997 C4S convertible I can use sometimes... planning to take my son for a ride with it this summer. |

Decided to get the M240 vert
So given the ongoing boot cover delay affecting the 230i that I ordered in January and which has been sitting now in Newark VDC for a month, I have decided to switch to an available M240i xdrive vert. My CA has arranged to get it from a Boston dealer. He just called me to let me know that it will be on a flatbed on Monday and at my dealer by Tuesday for prep. I will pickup on Wednesday. In Estoril blue. I'm so pumped!
