For the driver who measures a car by the grin it brings, the 2025 BMW M240 makes a compelling argument. It represents a focused interpretation of BMW's performance philosophy, delivering serious capability in a package designed for real-world use. This coupe is engineered to transform the daily drive into an event, offering thrilling performance without sacrificing daily civility.
At BMW Cleveland, we appreciate vehicles that deliver on this dual promise. A great way to begin your evaluation is to explore the available builds and specifications in our new BMW inventory.
Design Philosophy: Athleticism Without Aggression
The 2025 M240i communicates its intent through a stance of muscular purpose rather than theatrical add-ons. Its design is clean, broad, and planted, with a redesigned kidney grille and sharp LED lighting defining a focused front end. Pronounced wheel arches house substantial alloy wheels, hinting at the mechanical grip beneath. The rear is characterized by sleek LED taillights and twin exhaust outlets, completing a silhouette that is classic sports coupe: a long hood, a fast roofline, and a wide track.
For 2025, new exterior finishes like Frozen Portimao Blue metallic offer a standout, exclusive look. The overall effect is one of sophisticated confidence, a car that looks equally at home on a downtown street or poised at the entrance to a winding road.
The Cockpit: An Environment for Engagement
Inside, the M240i is unapologetically driver-centric. You settle into deeply bolstered sport seats that offer necessary support during dynamic driving while remaining comfortable for extended periods. The layout is intuitive, with primary controls angled toward the driver. Material quality is high, featuring sensatec upholstery with contrast stitching, aluminum trim, and M-specific badges on the steering wheel and sill plates.
The BMW Curved Display combines a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster with a 14.9-inch central touchscreen, creating an immersive tech experience. Running the latest iDrive 8.5 system, it offers an intuitive, customizable interface that responds quickly to your inputs.
BMW retains physical controls for climate and drive mode selection, a thoughtful detail for performance driving that allows adjustments without distracting menu diving. This blend of digital innovation and tactile feedback creates an environment that prioritizes the driver's connection to the machine, a principle we value deeply at BMW Cleveland.
Powertrain: The Soul of the Machine
The heart of the M240i experience is its powertrain. Under the hood lies BMW's celebrated B58 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six engine. For the 2025 model year, it delivers 382 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. This power is routed through an 8-speed sport automatic transmission to all four wheels via BMW's xDrive all-wheel-drive system.
The performance figures are impressive, a 0-60 mph time of approximately 3.9 seconds, but the character of the powertrain is what defines the experience. Throttle response is immediate and linear, with torque available across a wide rev band.
The engine delivers its power with a refined yet authoritative growl, a soundtrack that enhances the driving experience without being artificially enhanced to excess. The transmission executes shifts with crisp, decisive speed, whether you are using the paddles or letting the computer manage gears.
Chassis Dynamics: The Foundation of Precision
If the engine gives the thrill, the chassis gives the trust. The M240i is built on a rigid platform that forms a solid foundation for its dynamic capabilities. The suspension, an M Sport-tuned setup often paired with available adaptive dampers, is masterfully calibrated.
In its default setting, it soaks up road imperfections with a compliance that makes the car a viable daily driver. Switch to Sport or Sport+ mode, and the damping firms up significantly, minimizing body roll and sharpening turn-in response to near-telepathic levels.
The steering is precise and well-weighted, offering clear communication from the front axle. Coupled with the tenacious grip of the xDrive system, which can bias power rearward for a more dynamic feel, the result is a coupe that feels incredibly agile, planted, and predictable. It invites you to explore its limits, offering confidence through mechanical sophistication rather than intrusive electronic correction. This translates to brilliant real-world performance on Ohio's diverse roads, from comfortable highway cruising to explosive capability on backroad adventures.
Technology: Enhancing Capability and Confidence
The M240i's technology suite is designed to support the driver. Beyond the premium infotainment, it includes a robust set of standard driver-assistance features like Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Emergency Braking. Available packages add proactive systems such as Blind Spot Detection and Lane Departure Warning.
For the enthusiast, the technology extends into enhancing the performance experience. An available Head-Up Display keeps vital information in the driver's sightline. The optional track telemetry software allows for recording and analyzing driving data on closed circuits. These features are implemented to assist and inform, never to insulate the driver from the experience, a philosophy that aligns with the car's engaging nature.
Everyday Usability: The Practical Performance Coupe
A key to the M240i's appeal is its refusal to be a weekend-only vehicle. It is a practical 2+2 coupe. The trunk offers usable space for luggage or gear, and the rear seats, while best suited for children or shorter trips, offers flexibility. The cabin includes thoughtful storage and connectivity options.
The selectable drive modes (Comfort, Sport, Sport+) genuinely transform the car's character. Comfort mode offers a relaxed, fuel-efficient cruising demeanor perfect for traffic or highway miles. Sport+ mode, in contrast, sharpens throttle response, tightens suspension damping, and adjusts stability control for maximum driver engagement. This duality means the M240i can seamlessly transition from a civilized commuter to a focused performance machine at the driver's discretion.
Personalization and the Ownership Journey
BMW understands that a performance car is a personal statement. The M240i can be tailored through various packages and standalone options. The M Technology Package adds important performance hardware like an M Sport differential. Interior choices range from upholstery materials to trim finishes, allowing owners to specify an environment that matches their taste.
Guiding clients through these choices to build their ideal driver's car is a process we take pride in at BMW Cleveland. Our approach is based on conversation and deep product knowledge, making sure your vehicle is personalized to fit your vision of the perfect sports coupe.
