BMW M240i Off-Road Build: Lift Kit, All-Terrain Tires and Specs

A ride height of about 203 mm (8 in) has turned the low-slung BMW M240i into an unlikely coupe for sand and dirt tracks. Dubai-based tuner Zeus Offroad fitted three-way adjustable Flatout coilovers, raising the body by 76 mm (3 in), and swapped the factory wheels for 17-inch rims wrapped in chunky all-terrain tires.

The factory plastic bumpers gave way to aluminum units with underbody protection and tow hooks. The build gained wide fender flares, a roof rack with auxiliary lights, a tow hitch, and an exhaust routed closer to the center to keep it away from rough terrain.

Zeus says the car is built for dune runs, but the shop hasn’t published approach and departure angles, wading depth, or any independent test results. The engine itself wasn’t seriously reworked: the build keeps the stock turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six good for around 387 hp and 500 Nm of torque.

A number of outlets have mistakenly described the engine as twin-turbo: BMW actually uses a single TwinScroll turbocharger here. There’s also an awkward detail. The published photos show a racing steering wheel in the cabin with no visible airbag. That could be a deliberate choice for a specialized build, but the shop hasn’t said whether this setup is street-legal, or what compensates for removing the factory restraint system.

Pricing for the conversion hasn’t been disclosed either. So calling the M240i a budget alternative to the Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato or Porsche 911 Dakar is premature — especially since the Rezvani Dune, an official off-road supercar built on that same Sterrato already occupies a similar niche. For now, it’s a striking one-off with genuinely increased ground clearance, but no production price list, no confirmed road certification, and no measured off-road performance figures.

Previously, BMW M240i xDrive could get a more powerful engine in Europe in 2027.
