Just thought I'd share this review from Daddy Doug. Awesome review! Very positive opinion of the new 2-er

Golddog · 04-26-2022, 01:50 PM

He's hard to watch. He's a life sized, human bobblehead.

Bertie74 · 04-26-2022, 01:51 PM

He uses a lot of words

TJZ67201 · 04-26-2022, 01:56 PM

Yeah and he mentioned the drivetrain options at least 10 times… (exaggerating but you get the point). At least it's another positive review that many will end up seeing due to his following

I agree what he says about the styling, it's in no way bad and definitely better than a lot of offerings out there

It's a positive and pretty fair review, you can't ask for more

He made solid points on the back seat accommodations, which will never get used. Those boards/wires would have been better spent to not eliminate adaptive CC for us post February/March build folks

My thoughts exactly! I would much rather have ACC over rear seat climate… oh well, German engineering I guess

wow i couldn't even watch this.. and i've watch 240i videos in languages i can't speak

Doug does solid reviews with his own goofy twist, what don't you guys like?

Doug is a little too goofy for some.

Germanauto · 04-26-2022, 03:14 PM

Promising for the M2. RWD, less weight, better steering tuning, and MT option = winner

Can't wait to see how it looks and finally drive it.

This guy again?

burkhacs · 04-26-2022, 03:54 PM

Like nails on a chalkboard

Game · 04-26-2022, 04:02 PM

Lots of positives here and I can't disagree with any of them. The M240 is an awesome car.

What's with that panel gap in the hood?

Totally agree with you. Just his tone is super annoying. I don't understand why he can't just speak normally but instead he wants to speak in a way like he has 2 golf balls in the mouth.

He sounded normal when he was a guest at The Smoking Tire podcast recently which I quite enjoyed. So it's not like he can't talk like an normal person...

tubingchamp · 04-26-2022, 04:42 PM

Super jealous of the front camera and advanced parking sensor setup...

I disagree with the statement that the back seats won't get used. As someone who owns a 997 Turbo Coupe that's now too small for my kids, I'd definitely be interested in an M240i or an M2 instead of going to a two-seat only car like a Boxster or Cayman. I'd still like my kids to be able to enjoy driving with the family while they still can.

Yes I will be switching the rear AC permanently off via iDrive

Same here. I occasionally drive my teenage kids and my daughter at 5'4" would fit great back there. I sat in a demo car behind myself at 5'10" almost and had no problems. Its way too small for Doug but for more average height people under 6 feet, I think it works well.
