BMW M240i Performance Overview

BMW’s M240i performance profile spans 2017 to 2022 in this dataset, covering 4 verified tests across two model years and two generations. It begins with the F22/F23-era car, where the turbocharged 3.0-liter B58B30M0 inline-six produced 335 hp and established the baseline for the nameplate’s modern acceleration. In testing, the 2017 Coupe reached 60 mph in 4.3 seconds, a figure repeated across both recorded F22/F23 runs and representing that generation’s average and best result.

The transition to the G42 generation in 2022 marked the major step forward. Output rose to 382 hp from the turbocharged 3.0-liter B58, and the recorded times moved decisively quicker. The 2022 M240i xDrive ran 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds in one test, while the 2022 xDrive (Shadowline) cut that to 3.6 seconds, the quickest result in the set, and covered the quarter-mile in 12.1 seconds at 114 mph. Across all four tests, average acceleration stands at 4.05 seconds to 60 mph and 12.53 seconds in the quarter-mile. As represented here, the M240i stands today as a gasoline-only, turbocharged six-cylinder coupe with its best recorded current-generation run also serving as its overall peak.

How we verify BMW M240i performance data

We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same BMW M240i trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
