I am curious about driving one as well. I really like how the current gen F55 Clubman S drives and I am curious to see how the BMW F44 flavor stacks up against it.

Nice spec. I love the read seats and the interior lighting. It looks pretty cool. What about the driving performance? Are you happy with the cornering capabilities?

So far I am liking the driving experience a lot. I'm still in the running in phase so I haven't gone crazy or anything, but the car feels really solid and tied to the road. They've really managed to hide the front-wheel bias quite well here. I do prefer its ride over that of a loaner G20 330e which I had for some weeks last year. Still have some 500km more to go on the running in before I will start exploring the car on its limits. It's a nimble, fun little car which is crucial in this segment.
I ordered the magma red like you and the M sport seats.

Again congratulations and keep sharing updates please

Never understood why BMW made this car into a family sedan with a 4 cylinder. Honestly ruined the M235i. BMW has a great thing going with their F20 series. Maybe BMW thought it was to close to the M2...oh well now it's boring 🤷*♂️


Lovely colour choice mate 🙏

You know they still make the 240i coupe right? And the 230i coupe is a 4 banger. And will continue for next generation on the rear wheel drive chassis. This was an addition to the lineup. What's the problem?

The seats look great. In your brief ownership so far how are you finding them? Comfortable, supportive?

Looks great, but other than needing 2 more doors why would someone buy the gran coupe over the M240?

Looks great for a 2er! Wouldn't mind it as a sweet daily driver.

What's the bias with the AWD system? 60/40?

It's always interesting how color and options make such an impact on the perceptions of a vehicle.

I wasn't sure if I cared much for this model initially. I must say this example has changed my mind completely.

Congratulations, enjoy in good health and stay safe! Love that seat design, and the ambient light trim! It does look really nice in black!

I have to ask but ... Why not a G20 ? I'm pretty sure you could had a proper 330i for that price with maybe half of the options speced on your 235i. You'd had more space and proper RWD car... ?

Hmmm, perhaps the OP like this one better for other reasons than your own?

And this car being in Finland, where new car prices are astronomical, perhaps there is a staggering difference between this F44 and a new G20, not to mention sales/road taxes fuel and insurance costs.
