New Member of the 235 club

Just traded in my '11 135 Cab for a '14 235 Coupe (EB) with < 4K miles.
Hoping to do some upgrades. Owned a couple 540i Sports and a Vette.
Getting old, so the 235 seemed like a nice compromise. Hope I like it in 3 years as much as I did on the test drive today. Picking it up tomorrow.

I'm in northern Fairfield County Connecticut. I'll post some photos. Initial driving impressions are mixed. I like the normal/sport setting and the steering feel on the 135 better. The ride on the 235 is less harsh, which might just be the Non run flats. Need more wheel time for a final summary.

Jury is still out if this is superior to my old '11 135 DCT
Need more wheel time.
Some things are improved, but not sure if the overall experience is as good.
Time will tell and maybe mods as well.
