Having a hard time deciding between the 230i and M240i.
Things I absolutely will not budge on are the track handling package, the lighting package, and the premium package, for the 230i. On both cars, I'll do the cold weather package and probably navigation. At that point, the difference (I'm leasing) in monthly payments is down to less than $100 between the M240i and 230i. $600/mo vs $680/mo.
Now I drove a 228 that didn't even have the track handling package and I loved how nimble and quick it felt so I'm sure the 230i will meet my desires. But for less than 100 dollars per month more, I wonder if I'd regret leaving the M240i behind.
On the other hand, I honestly think that the M240i could get me into trouble.
Maybe there's more negotiation power with the 230i? Maybe the insurance cost of the M240i will be much higher and will negate the benefits... What does this forum think?
If I go and test drive an M235 of M240, I might not ever go back to the 228/230.
