I'm actually pleasantly surprised at the list of standard options. Is this the first time BMW has made CarPlay standard? On the G20 for example, you have to get the larger iDrive screen with BMW navigation and the digital cockpit in order to get Apple CarPlay.

I saw this car at the auto show. It's just as disappointing in person as it is in photos. The only reason, and the only reason this car will sell is because it's going to be cheap. This is the direct replacement for the 320i for the American market. M235i is DOA just like the X2 M35i.
I don't like the car but I will live with the the fact that it will help sell more cars and bring in the bargain hunters who drive Nissans and Toyotas.

About time you can get a 2 Series with blind spot detection. The fact its standard along with frontal collision and an option on an M340 is ridiculous

Looked at the standard option and pricing I think this will sell reasonably well |

Most people don't even know what a staggered wheel setup is. I would bet most of those in that's survey wouldn't know that their Kia was fwd. I think most drivers don't know fwd or rwd. They just know that when they step on the right pedal the car moves, when they step on the left it slows down, and if their car says awd on it they will never get stuck

I'm not particularly thrilled to know that my M235i 6 cylinder, RWD and Manual will share the same name as this car.
I think I like the proposal of the car, which in my opinion is kind of to compete with the audi S3, but without the RWD bias or the manual transmission, I'm not seeing the point of getting one. If it's automatic and AWD, why not just get an audi? |

So I guess the M235 GC is competitively priced with the S3 (although that actually starts at $43000), but to be honest if I was going to buy a FWD based car I would just get the Golf R or the Golf GTI for that matter rather than this and save a good chunk of change.

I guess 38k is not too bad compared to a now 6/7 year old CLA250. Exactly 1000 more.
I owned a CLA250 back in 2014 and loved it. It's an alternative to the boring 1/2 series or A/B class. And a smart way for the Germans to enter the yuppie/dinky market. |
