New Storm Bay M235i

Picked up my new M235 around three weeks ago. I must say when I first saw reviews of the F44 I wasn't too sure on it but in person I absolutely loved it. After the test drive it was a certainty.

Was torn between the Snapper rocks blue and the storm bay and have no regrets choosing Storm Bay, think the colours stunning personally.

My best mates got a new S3 and got a bit jealous with the noise it makes hahaha, poor Rev limiter on the Audi

Cars a bundle of fun

Here's a couple of pics in the flesh.

The original plan was to get a snapper rocks one with another dealer, however was told it would be built by July initially, then they turned round and said November time.

Impatience got the better of me so went out and got this one, Snapper rocks is a stunning colour aswell but no regrets in getting the storm bay.

Nice choice, my Storm Bay 218i is due to get built this week, delivery mid August. Glad I chose Storm Bay, I think it suits the car really well.

Nice one. Is it all black trim for America only? Might be a silly question but all M135s I have seen are bronze trim like my car, I still haven't seen any M235 in the UK kickin about

In the US, we have the ability to get a 'shadowline' package that changes all the cerium gray trim to gloss black.

I might have to venture into getting the all black parts cause that sure as hell looks smart.

Attacked the car with demon shine yesterday after it's wash and took it down some Scottish country roads.

Seemed a good spot for a few shots.

So I hit the run in mark as people call it and decided to give it a launch. As usual it was raining up here in Scotland but don't think it made much of a difference to be honest. Gear shift to second in this car is brutal man a love it.

Looking to remap it aswell however only one company so far can offer me a stage 1 and at this moment can only move it up by 30BHP and 50Nm. Think I'll be holding off until the numbers pick up slightly.

That looks immense man. Like how were both called Chris aswell haha what a coincidence.

You had some work done to the exterior of that, that front splitter looks quality.

Tempted to black my car out but been waiting for somebody else in my sort of area driving the same car and colour before I decide to be different 😂
