Tim, time to order a new car

[Angie4m]

There you go Tim, they've officially announced the car you've been waiting for...http://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-germancars/bmw-m140i-and-m240i-announced/34238?utm_medium=EMAIL&utm_campaign=Enews%20Bulletin&utm_content=PHDS%20-%20ENews%20Bulletin%20(19.05.2016)::Sub_2&utm_source=20160519

Can I ask, have you actully tested just how fast the M135i actually is?

I think the M240i sounds like a blast and it can now be specified with xDrive (auto only) and it's seriously quick 0 - 62 in 4.4 seconds

The figures do look super.......I unfortunately saw and heard an M2 last Friday..........WOW! Good looking and a fabulous sound. I had to stop myself popping along to the local dealer and seeing what the chances of getting one were.

Wonder how good the M240i will sound and perform vs the M2.

Talking of XDrive, how do you find that sars? Vs previous rwd only drives.

Quite a few of my mates are trying to talk me into a 335i... I'm actually waiting for the right deal on a 3.0 si Z4 but unfortunately think I could easily be convinced to something quicker

Surposidly the last six cylinder rear wheel drive hatch before they switch.

Sounds like an investment! Last of the original format

What are the performance figures for the 335i? Would you want a convertible or coupe?

Would prefer a 'vert but would be looking at an extra £2-3k on top of the price of a similar coupe, they have something like 305bhp can't remember the quoted 0-60 but there's a few people on the e90 forum claiming 4.8-4.9s times and that's the car as standard, a simple remap gets you to over 360bhp....

Still no idea if that's what I'm going to go for though got my eye on a couple of SI Zs both 2.5 and 3.0, or could go crazy and buy a Jag or even a Porsche but stuck in limbo at the moment waiting for someone else's insurance company to pay me out for my car
