I was in the same boat as you before I decided to get a m235i
The 228i I build had
$550 for paint
$3000 for msport
$900 for lighting
It was somehwere just below $38,000
I negotiated down to $31,800 with incentives at the time (in July)
Ended up getting a m235i
It comes standard with
Power seats
Lighting package
Moonroof
Msport
That you would have to pay for in a 228i
I added
Metallic paint
Red leather interior
And paid $41,450
If you skip the leather you'll may be able to get your $40k mark or maybe below
