For the time being, all the better we can do is speculation on what different changes are going to the 2 Series. We realize that the M235i will now be the M240i, and we're hoping to see some new infotainment innovation and a marginally overhauled outside. Until Bimmer spills whatever is left of the beans on the M240i, we should simply ahead and discuss the overhaul in force and different changes. As per BMW's latest public statements, the M240i ought to break spread in July, so how about we get to conjecturing earlier than BMW pulls the sheet of the facelifted M240i convertible.

With direct infusion and variable valve lift, this force was sufficient to send the M235i to the 60-mph benchmark in 4.6 seconds. The M240i, in any case, will accompany an all-new motor that guarantees more power and better execution.
Buried under that solid hood, will sit BMW's new B58 motor.

All things considered, this new power build that accompanies the M240i brings the convertible inside 25 drive of the M2 and really surpasses the M2's torque rating by 26 pound-feet!
To the extent whatever is left of the drivetrain, we anticipate that the auto will come standard with a six-speed manual and discretionary with an eight-speed programmed. The eight-pace will incorporate oar shifters behind that M Sport guiding wheel. By and large, the M240i ought to have the capacity to hit the sixty two-mph sprint in 4.9 seconds with the six-pace or 4.7 seconds with the programmed – a change of 0.2-seconds over the M235i.

As usual, the M240i will have BMW 's signature kidney bean grille, alongside that forceful air dam and the corner air bays. The side body lines will probably continue as before as will a large portion of the backside. Expected changes incorporate marginally reshaped headlights and taillights, and the front and back sashes may likewise get a little consideration as well. On the off chance that anything happens as an afterthought, BMW may change the side skirts a little to give them more character.
Remember that that 2017 model may be a facelift, so in case you're expecting some sensational changes anyplace outside, will be disillusioned. Be that as it may, the 2 Series in general as of now looks great, so BMW will hold off on significant changes until it introduces the second era.

You'll likely discover brushed metal additions utilized on the entryway pull handles, the trim supplements on the controlling wheel spokes, the trim on the middle console, and the substance of the dash. Wood and carbon fiber additions ought to stay accessible as choices in case you're not into the "chilly" look of brushed metal. To the extent materials go, the public statement from Bimmer focuses to fabric/Alcantara sports seats with blue difference sewing, with the same sewing used to hold together the cowhide that is wrapped around the controlling wheel.
Obviously, the M240i will have the infotainment screen roosted on top of the inside stack.
