It’s 5.1 seconds the m235i the m2 is a tad faster.

 

Pfft. My m140i does it 4.8 in mild temperatures.

 

The m2 is 4.3.

The m240i isn’t giving a 0-60 time.

They replaced the m235i with the 240i assume the same with the 1 series.

They’re a tad over budget. 1 series is defo too small as I think the 2 will be.

The 435i m sport is a tad slower again. But quick enough.

 

240 and 140 are the replacements of the 35s. Different engines and slightly quicker.

I got a cracking deal. £7k off when I purchased 2 years ago.

 

From new? How much was that?

 

Yeah, from new. With the extras, I got it for £27k

 

That’s a good deal. 2yr old m240 is the same.

 

240s are a shade more expensive though. I’ve piled 21k miles on mine though.

 

BMW have seriously altered their pathway since I worked for them, I had a 650i back in 2005, I feel though the Marquee element was going then in their cars. The new 3 series at the time was basically ****e, the 5 series was like a damp ****, the 1 series had just been launched just as Audi had sacked their 1 series off and the Mini had loads of teething problems. Nice top read you two having appreciation of their cars now, like I said 2005 was a long time ago. Saying that mind, I have a 2005 unbadged Merc 240 CLK with 70,000 on, all AMG too, wouldn't swap it for the world, it goes when I do haha..

Thanks for a great read lads..

 

Beamers are great motors. Rather a Beamer than a merc or Audi any day. I love my jag it’s just not a good fit with me. My old 2008 330d m sport was better to drive and more practical. The xf is a better car than a 5 series but just not for me.

 

Each to their own mate, don't get me wrong B's are great cars but Mercs for me all the time..

 

Mercs age very very badly.

 

So do humans..

 

New Mercs are awful cars. Only the S Class seems to give any sort of value for money. The soul has completely gone. I know a guy in Manchester who restores classic Mercs and it’s like a dream when I go down there every time.

Back in the day BMW couldn’t touch Mercedes but I’d say right now apart from the S Class (Cos the 7 series is ****e) BMW have the better fleet.

The G Wagon is the most over hyped pile of crap ever produced.

 

My cars the best and it's a Merc..

B's have no style now, 2'a penny.. Again it is an age thing, I used to have a Ford Granada 2.8i Ghia back in 79, bag of ****e but loved at the time..

 

It’s personal choice innit, but the new Mercs from 14- on seem lifeless to me. I think BMW have earned some serious style points since 14 on as well.

My Mrs has a Merc like, she loves it. I think it’s no better than a Ford Focus.

 

Anyone who buys a G Wagon should be sectioned.

140 bags for a Land Rover rip off that has all the aesthetic appeal of Ian Dowie.

 

People only buy them to turn heads. They’re ****e to drive. It felt like a **** transit van.

 

WTF? That is one ugly, expensive car!

 

The new mercs have nice dash boards.

The whole Beamer line up is superior.

1 series great car
2 series great car
3 series classic great drivers car and 07-09 great. 10-12 terrible. 13 onward great again.
4 series great car
5 series great motor.
6 awesome
7 better cars for the money:
