2 series in Connecticut? Chime in!

Anybody else running a 2 series in CT? I've only had my car for a week and have yet to see another one running around on the Merrit Parkway. Getting lots of looks from fellow BMW drivers. Looks like, "What model is that?"
Loving the new ride. I'm in Fairfield County, doing the Bridgeport to Stamford commute primarily on the parkway. 2er's represent!

Nice, still have yet to see another 235. I think I've seen one 228. Enjoy the car! If you are a BMW CCA member, join the CT Valley chapter. No additional cost. Well organized events throughout the spring and summer seasons.

Bman, I keep meaning to go to that cars & coffee in Glastonbury! Is it pretty much every Sunday? How late does it keep going?

AW '15 M235i here in the central CT West Hartford/Hartford area. Coral red leather on the inside and I've got the front splitter, carbon mirror caps, and carbon rear wing. Wave, beep or say hello if you see me...! RWD too... :-p Love this little car...finally have just about 1200 miles on her and can start opening up.

I've only ever seen one other M235i around town and it was Estoril Blue and pulling into the middle parking lot in West Hartford center.

cGodin, Yes its every Sunday even through out the winter. But we sit inside for coffee. Usually starts around 9-9:30am and can go up to 12 noon. Just depends on the crowd that shows up.

That estroil Blue was most likely me if the side mirrors are blue too. I have been out to west hartford center a few time the past couple months hanging out for happy hours with friends.
Come out tomorrow.
I will be out for cars and coffee tomorrow around 9:30am.
PM me if you need more info.

Thanks Bman! I did end up making it; was still in food recovery from a pre-thanksgiving thanksgiving celebration on Saturday. Going to try and swing by there next Sunday perhaps...? Sadly, snow tires/wheels go on this Tuesday, but I did finally just surpass 1200 miles and got to open her up this weekend! Definitely faster than my F30 335i with MPPK for sure! Grin inducing and even with cold-ish tires man does this thing stick to the road. Truly on rails!

No problem. It was a decent turn out and weather was warm enough to hang out outside. I may put my winters on as well. But mine are in my garage and i can swap back and forth when i want.

cGodin, There will be a few of us showing up for coffee tomorrow. We usually sit inside if its too cold to be outside. There is a back entrance to starbucks. Most usually show up around 9:30-10am. I usually head out around 9am passing by west Hartford exit around 9:10.

Just saw this thread and wanted to say hey. Estoril Blue m235i here from North Haven, CT. Had the car since October and absolutely love the attention I get while driving it (not to mention the feeling of driving the car itself)

I spotted a black 235 with an m performance grill with the m color stripes yesterday in New Haven (right near Alden ave). Anyone know who this was?

Great to see so many Ct BMWs on the forum! Nice looking cars!


Also, seriously thouggt about switching to an M235i. Seems like a great car. The only thing holding me back is my 2 year old daughters car seat.

Hey! I've had my car since October (brought her home on Halloween) as well. Still haven't seen any running around. Def get lots of looks. I don't think a lot of people are hip to the 2 series yet. I have BMW drivers craning their necks to get a look. Pretty funny. Enjoy the ride, definitely a sweet car.

I got stopped by a z06 corvette owner yesterday asking how I liked the car and that this is the first one he has seen.
Definitely a rare model.

Hey guys, Im far away from the ny/ct line, more or so new Haven area and I never see any 2ers around. Only one I've seen in the past year is actually across the street right now in a mg 235. I do get a lot of attention from different drivers, from a Subaru driver to a biker, it seems to be a head turner. And wherever I go, especially with the intake on, a lot of heads turn on the street. And I love it.
