The 2025 BMW M240i xDrive Coupe perfectly embodies the Bavarian brand’s sporting DNA. Halfway between an everyday car and a track-tuned machine, this compact coupe packs power, precision and driving enjoyment into an elegant yet aggressive package.
Under the hood sits a six-cylinder inline 3.0 L turbo engine producing 382 horsepower. With the xDrive all-wheel-drive system and an eight-speed automatic transmission, acceleration is breathtaking: the 0 to 100 km/h dash is dispatched in just 4.3 seconds. But beyond the numbers, it’s the driving experience that impresses: The engine, both supple and ferocious, delivers pure sensations, with a signature BMW soundtrack that delights the ears every time it revs up.
The vehicle also features powerful four-wheel disc brakes and equipment such as Adaptive M Suspension and Variable Sports Steering.
Key Features
- Engine: Six-cylinder inline 3.0 L turbo developing 382 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque.
- Transmission: Eight-speed sport automatic with dual-clutch and shift paddles.
- Drivetrain: Permanent all-wheel drive (xDrive).
- Brakes: Four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, ventilated discs front and rear, and Brake Assist.
- Suspension: Adaptive M Suspension and Variable Sports Steering.
- Other Features: Launch Control, Dynamic Driving Control with multiple modes, and M Sport Suspension.
Note: the M240i xDrive is not a full-blown M Performance variant, but it nonetheless delivers performance well above that of other 2 Series models.
