M240i Racing

The BMW M240i Racing is a customer racing car developed by BMW Motorsport based on the F22 2 Series platform, designed for various international racing series including VLN/NLS endurance racing, 24-hour races, and national championships. The car features a turbocharged 3.0-liter BMW inline-six engine producing approximately 340 horsepower in balance-of-performance controlled race trim, though the engine can be configured for higher outputs depending on series regulations. Power is delivered through an 8-speed automatic transmission with paddleshift controls and racing software calibration, optimized for quick shifts under full throttle.

The M240i Racing includes comprehensive safety equipment meeting FIA standards including a fully welded roll cage, FT3 safety fuel cell, fire suppression system, and racing seat with six-point harness. Performance components include coil-over racing suspension, limited-slip differential, racing ABS system, upgraded cooling systems for engine, transmission and differential, and aerodynamic enhancements including front splitter and rear wing. The car serves as an entry-level option in BMW's customer racing lineup, positioned below the M2 CS Racing and M4 GT4 while offering professional-grade racing capability at more accessible operating costs. The M240i Racing provides teams and drivers with a robust, reliable platform for endurance racing and sprint championships, benefiting from BMW's extensive motorsport support network, parts availability, and the proven reliability of the B58 inline-six engine architecture.
