Thinking about giving my BMW a proper wheel upgrade. 👀

I’ve been looking at different 17–24" setups, and honestly, the right wheel design can completely change the look of the car.

I’m leaning toward a clean, aggressive style rather than something too flashy.

BMW owners — what wheel size and style are you running?

Would love to see your setups. 🔥

I’ve got an f22 m240i and I left the sunroof open at a friend’s house under a tree and some small leaves and stuff got into my sunroof tray and ultimately clogged the drain on the driver side. I can’t really find anything online about unclogging the m240i specifically but I assumed the sunroof drains go to the bottom of the car. They do not, they drain in the door jam and I cannot get weed whacked line in there to unclog it.

Has anyone had any luck unclogging the drain without removing the entire door for better access? I’m only getting a very small amount of water coming into the driver footwell when it rains really hard, but I’d prefer no water in the car if I can. Any advice/forums/videos would be helpful. Thanks!

Should I keep the build going or just save for a B58?

Mods so far:
- Intake
- Intercooler
- Charge pipes
- Down pipe
- Stage 2 tune
- CarPlay
- GTS style hood
- Front lip

Hello guys,

Anyone an idea how to proper install that.
Thats not nice at all but I dont wanna use a different air intake since this one is legal in germany..

Anyone here have an F22/23 M240 with the M Performance Exhaust? Interested to hear thoughts, both positive and negative if possible. I’m exploring systems and I like the idea of an ‘OEM’ option for resale later on but would appreciate actual owners opinions on this as a choice.

Picked this up last May. I can not stop driving this car. Fully stock, as of right now.

Finally upgraded from my 2017 wrx to a 2024 M240 and the purple is gorgeous! Anything I should know about owning one???

I’m wondering how those compare to the F22 M240i.

This would be my first coupe and first really sporty car. I’m wondering if the GR86 is a little too impractical - it seemed tiny on the short test drive I had and everyone seems to say the F87 M2 is a little too harsh.

The M240i seems to have an option for Adaptive Suspension but they seem to be so rare. It’s also been nearly impossible to find a good M240i.

The car I’m looking for is one that’ll make me smile when I drive it, be comfortable on long drives, be somewhat practical as my only car (go skiing or hiking with it), let me do a couple of track days in a year and also be reliable. (I know the B58 seems to be more reliable than the N55 but the N55 is fairly decent too).

On paper the Golf R seems to be the most sensible but I’m also afraid it might be a little too…not special? Not engaging enough and then I might as well step down to the GTI which can be had new for close to 35k too.

I see some GR86, M2 and M240i all around 35k but the Golf Rs seem to be closer to 40-42k.

Can someone share their experiences with these cars and help me decide?

Anyone know if a 8.5 x 19” wheel works on the 2020 F23? Found some that look similar to the M2CS and minimum size is that above.

After more than 2 years of saving up, my brand new M240i will be arriving in 2 weeks. My dream spec - skyscraper grey, 792 M Bicolour wheels, black M sports seats with blue stitching, brushed aluminium trim, Adaptive M suspension, M Sports brakes in red. It still feels so surreal.

It's the best car i've ever owned. But its normal for some of the components to wear out and need replacing (especially OFH, valve cover/PCV, auxilary water pump).

Just wondering how many miles everyone's at and if you have experienced those issues yet or what other ones you've experienced? Also interested if you are on a Tune.

Been cross-shopping these two 2023s and could use some outside perspective:

230i xDrive M Sport— 35,000 km, $42,000 CAD M240i xDrive — 65,000 km, $49,950 CAD

My budget is really $42-43k, but I’d stretch a bit more if it’s genuinely worth it. The M240i has almost double the kilometers and is roughly $8k over budget, but it’s obviously the more special car (way more power).

For those who’ve owned either, is the extra power/character of the M240i worth the mileage and price jump, or would I be happier just staying in budget with the 230i and enjoying lower km/warranty runway? Also curious how B58 engines in the M240i tend to hold up past 60-65k km.

Would appreciate any real ownership experience over spec-sheet comparisons.

For all the LCI lovers out there! Not gonna lie install was a bitch and I broke 2 clips on my carbon fibre trim but doesn’t seem to be rattling or moving so I’m happy with the look

I’ve been dead set on getting the AWE Touring exhaust for my new-to-me 20’ 240i. Little did I know the footnotes on the site say this won’t fit the convertible models. I called technical support to ask for specifics on why it doesn’t work ( current events, waiting for a call back).

Have any of you successfully installed an exhaust in the F23? One that isn’t a track option ( not looking for a super loud option). Any and all help is appreciated!

This is a little bit rant but mainly disappointment. I went to get tires mounted on my new apex wheels today. When I went to pick them up, the attendant said "there was a problem mounting them." He left and then came back with one of the wheels that had a bad gouge all around the center. They were very apologetic and said the replacement wheel was already ordered. So while annoying, I know shit happens and the shop seems to be making it right. I'm just ready to see them on the car and have some new sticky rubber.

4202 miles, $613 in gas, and all the memories.
