Trunk dimensions BMW M240i

The 2017 BMW M240i Coupé offers a trunk volume of about 13.8 cu ft, which can be expanded to approximately 42.4 cu ft by folding down the rear seats.

The rear bench is split 60:40, allowing flexibility when transporting larger items. The interior design is sporty and high-quality, with a practical loading edge that facilitates access.

The trunk dimensions vary within the model range, but the shape remains compact and functional. Typical features include good craftsmanship and thoughtful use of space, making the M240i suitable for both everyday use and sporty driving.

Model Information

The BMW M240i Coupé is a sporty compact vehicle belonging to BMW's 2 Series. It combines dynamic driving performance with elegant design and state-of-the-art technology.

The M240i is equipped with a powerful 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine, offering impressive acceleration and driving dynamics. The latest generation of the M240i also features improved chassis technology and a sporty interior that puts the driver at the center.

Variants of the Same Series

The BMW 2 Series includes various variants differing in body style and equipment. Besides the M240i Coupé, there is also the 2 Series Convertible, which offers open-air driving.

Additionally, hatchback and sedan variants are available, each with different trunk sizes and configurations. It is important not to confuse these variants, as they target different customer groups and offer different characteristics.

Trunk Volume

The trunk of the BMW M240i Coupé offers a volume of about 13.8 cu ft. This is a respectable size for a sporty coupe and allows luggage to be transported for short trips or daily use.

The rear seats can be folded down, providing additional flexibility for transporting larger items. The trunk opening is sufficiently large to facilitate access, and the loading edge is low, simplifying loading and unloading.

Model Year Differences

Changes to the body and trunk dimensions of the BMW M240i have been made across different model years. The first generation of the 2 Series was introduced in 2014, while the current generation came to market in 2021. During these years, adjustments to the dimensions affected the trunk volume.

In particular, the introduction of new technologies and design changes led to an optimization of the available storage space.

Direct Competitors

In the same price range and size, the BMW M240i competes with models such as the Audi S3 and the Mercedes-AMG A 35. The Audi S3 offers a trunk volume of about 11.5 cu ft, while the Mercedes-AMG A 35 provides 13.1 cu ft.

The M240i stands out with its larger trunk volume, making it more attractive to buyers who value cargo space.

More Affordable Alternatives

For buyers seeking more affordable alternatives with similar trunk dimensions, models like the Ford Focus ST or the Volkswagen Golf GTI are worth mentioning.

The Ford Focus ST offers a trunk volume of about 13.2 cu ft, while the Golf GTI provides 13.4 cu ft. These models are generally less expensive but also offer sporty driving dynamics and sufficient cargo space for everyday use.

Trunk Volume

The trunk volume of the 2017 BMW M240i Coupé is reported differently: Manufacturer: 13.8 cu ft, independent measurements: 11.1 cu ft, a composite value in the fact package: approx. 12.4 cu ft. Compared to an average car, the trunk is thus about 16% smaller.

With the rear seats folded down, the loading volume up to the window sill increases to approx. 23 cu ft (manufacturer-independent measurement). In practice, this means:

Everyday shopping, a travel bag for two, or up to five beverage crates fit easily in the trunk.
For longer vacations with several people or bulky items, the trunk in normal position is limited; only with folded-down seatbacks is significantly more space available.
The discrepancy between manufacturer and independent figures (13.8 cu ft vs. 11.1 cu ft) suggests that practical measurements better reflect everyday usability.

Vehicle Size and Parking Friendliness

Dimensions: 175.2 in long, 69.7 in wide, 55.5 in high. Compared to an average car, the coupe is 4.3 in shorter, 3.1 in narrower, and 6.3 in lower.

The vehicle is thus overall compact and easier to maneuver into urban parking spaces: according to the fact package, it is about 21.7 in shorter and 28.7 in narrower than a typical parking space, simplifying parking in width and length.

However, the low design reduces headroom and makes high seating positions less comfortable.

Trunk Usability and Flexibility

Trunk opening and operation: The tailgate does not open automatically and the opening is relatively small. This complicates loading bulky or heavy items.
Loading edge: The loading edge is 27.2 in above the road (or 7.5 in above the trunk floor), so weight often has to be lifted — inconvenient with heavy suitcases or beverage crates.
Lighting: Only one trunk light is present; illumination is weak and can make loading in the dark difficult.
Seatbacks and flexibility: Factory standard is an asymmetrically split rear seatback; a three-part version is available as an option. The seatbacks can be unlocked from the trunk but do not fold forward automatically — pressing down is necessary. After folding, the trunk floor rises slightly, making the loading surface uneven.
Practical consequences: Large, bulky items are harder to load due to small opening, high loading edge, and uneven loading floor. For occasional transports (e.g., furniture pieces in folded state or luggage for two people), the volume is sufficient; for frequent transport of larger loads, less suitable.
Weight and payload: Curb weight 1,565 kg, payload 430 kg. This limits the combined load of passengers and luggage — with full occupancy, only limited space remains for cargo.

General Model Information

Familiarity and character: The BMW M240i Coupé is positioned as a sporty, compact-luxury coupe — focus on driving dynamics and premium feel. It appeals to drivers who prioritize driving enjoyment over maximum practicality.

Special features / peculiarities: M models bring sporty tuning but also equipment limitations: no fog lights/turning lights in M models, no rear wiper, optional features like auto-dimming interior mirror and aspheric exterior mirrors are available at extra cost.

Safety aspect: The keyless entry system has a documented vulnerability to relay attacks (note: ADAC information).

Price-performance ratio: As a sporty premium coupe, the M240i offers much driving dynamics but with compromises in everyday usability and standard equipment. Optional accessories can significantly improve comfort but increase the price.

Competitor models: Comparable vehicles are compact sporty coupes and sporty compact models like the Audi TT, Mercedes coupes in a similar class, and sporty variants of compacts (e.g., Audi S3 / sportily configured Golf models).

In everyday use, practicality is often closer to vehicles like the VW Golf, which can offer similar trunk capacity with better everyday usability.
