Overview

The 2019 BMW M240i makes for an excellent contender in the subcompact coupe class. With standalone trim on offer, the BMW M240i has a base MSRP of $45,800. It competes directly with the Mercedes-Benz AMG C 43 Coupe, the Cadillac ATS Coupe, and the Lexus RC 350 Coupe. Only a 3.0L turbocharged Inline-6 engine is offered, mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 335 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 4.3 seconds, the M240i maintains a combined fuel economy of 24 MPG. BMW offers the M240i in 7 stunning colors, with the Mineral Grey Metallic being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

You can either go with the rear-wheel-drive system or all-wheel-drive system on the M240i Coupe. Meanwhile, BMW has supplied the M240i with enough performance features but has been stingy with convenience features. However, Premium Package worth $2,500 is able to solve this issue by adding a navigation system, heated front seats, and more.
