Upgrading from a 228xi to m235xi

Silverlining_m2 · 10-23-2023, 07:20 PM

As the title says. Scooped my girl an upgrade. Her base SG 228xi with aluminum trim was ok. She liked it. It was time to turn in the lease so we checked out a 2024 SG m235xi. She's really short so the long hood of most bimmers is a no for her. Staying with an f44 no matter what. Anyway, her face was glowing on the test drive. I'm very impressed by the hp and tq they put in it. It's prettier inside and out, thanks to the steering wheel, all black trim, red brakes, 554m wheels, and other m bits. Sounds better. Little pops and bangs. It's a much, much nicer looking and feeling car. I'm not sure what the base price is for an m235i, but this one comes in just under $53k. I think it has most available options besides HK sound? Pick up is Wed. I'll share some real pics, along with my car, then!

Red calipers rather than M Performance blue? maybe the blue is a UK/Euro thing.

They were an add on option. Almost seems like someone built, and walked away from this car when it arrived. No premium package, or hk. All the sport options ticked it seems though. Drives pretty decent!

Thank you! I think the m2 and especially the m240i are the current prettiest of the g series. I know not everyone agrees. My girl loves the m235i specifically though, so that is the one we got. It's zippy!

Awesome that M2 owner is happy/impressed with the M235i GC.
