The primary issue is getting the proper 17" wheels to clear the MSport brakes...not all do. Tire Rack can advise, but we've established that the BBS SR model works quite well and looks great! The taller sidewall does help settle the chassis down.

I agree: the car is fine overall; interestingly... Some years back I drove a Mercedes clk 350: in retrospect, this was a much more enjoyable car for me at least. In sport configuration I got a fine rod feel suspension although steering could have had a bit more of the 228i characteristics in sport mode. That being said, I look forward to the possibilities that might be displayed in the soon to be released c class coupe... I KNOW the ride and suspension characteristics will be great; the question will be how the steering heft and tightness fares up in conjunction with its suspension settings. Now... How to get out of a bmw lease after 2 years without paying a penalty???? |

It's an old thread but am little surprised... Not at the review particularly. It's a good review, even though I'm not a huge fan of the 228.
I'm more surprised that the M3 the 4 door car is a "weekend" car while the 2 door coupe is the daily... If I was in this man's situation I'd get a base 3 series and get something sporty as my weekend car. Anyways like some have said M3 nowadays aren't as hardcore as before, it's a perfect daily car in my opinion or the M235i as well if you don't need back seats

Anyway, enjoy! I have the track package too, with M Sport brakes, and it's so much fun. |

M-sport no track pack
Okay all, I've now ordered the same car twice (228) due to the Army shuffling me around quite frequently
Mineral gray Manual transmission M-Sport Harman Kardon Heated Seats I'm thinking that the fixed M dampers will suffice for daily and autocross usage. Is there anyone that has only the M-Sport, skipped the track package and is looking for a rope and a shower rod on a daily basis???? F1hammy |
