2024 Model M235i Ordered...

As I liked my current 2021 M235i I've decided to replace it with the same.
Are there any differences between the two years that anyone knows about?

According to this, (Australian market) https://www.carsales.com.au/new-cars...-m235i-xdrive/

the difference is
  • no 6-speaker stereo system in the 2024
  • Active Cruise Control is an available option on the 2024

I am in the UK so it's only the driving assistant that's not available, which also means no collision detection, lane assist etc. However I know which options I'm getting as I've chosen them to be as close to what I've already have.
I'm thinking more in terms of any suspension changes or any other such things..

Also they cheaped out on some trims and interior lightings.

That's the M135i isn't it, not the Series 2 Gran Coupe M235i...

They are the same interior wise.

I'm at a BMW dealership tomorrow and if they have a 2GC I'll take a look. But there are differences between the two models.
However, as I stated, I'm more interested in any tweaks they might have made to the suspension, as there were some for the M135i midlife, although they might have carried these across from GC anyway.

Ah, yes the suspension rework from 2022 M135i has been carried over to the 2GC. Technically, these cars are identical.

I thought it was the other war around but if it's true then your answer is what I was looking for, thank you.
It remains to be seen how different that makes the car feel as I'll be hopping out of my 2021 version and into a new one. Then a 172 mile drive home.
