You might be thinking of a sport exhaust which is the standard exhaust for M235i. There is another M Performance exhaust option which is a few thousand dollars and not available from factory. Similar to the carbon fibre interior.

Yeah, I think that was what I was thinking. The sad thing the M Perf exhaust does not increase much HP. Does any one have one who went from sport to MP exhaust?

Thanks Killramos. No HP gains, then BMW can keep it. I'm too old for that...I like my exhaust quiet without attracting cops attention. I'll just wait for my Dinan upgrades down the road.

For 4 years I have regretted not getting Tech and Drivers Assistance on my 135i so this time around I ordered the car with everything I wanted. HOPEFULLY no regrets this time around!
Ended up going XI, Tech, Drivers Asst, Heated Front Seats. Also what I am very grateful for is getting the Premium package included, albeit baked into the MSRP - all very nice to have and am glad it was just included so I didnt have to think about it edit: even though I went with the HiFi, I plan on upgrading the speakers and potentially the amp so I wont miss the HK really |

Parking in Chicago (or any big city) can be tight and there are definitely times where I wish I had the parking sensors/camera so I know exactly how close I am getting to a car. I ordered them on the new car because I have a tight garage spot and being able to see how close I am to the front and rear of the spot is huge.

Speaking of HK, I noticed you can purchase HK speakers for our 2ers if you wanted to upgrade them. May have a plan for that down the road. When are you getting you for 2?

I think my plan is to go with the Focal speakers for now, but will look at HK also as an alternative. Car is in production as we speak and should hopefully be done by the end of the week! |

Option Ragrets
Since this thread have received a bit of popularity. I went ahead and made a nice thread photo cover for the people who posted their regrets. Please enjoy and continue to post your "ragrets".

I recommend that new buyers try to find a the 2 series with carbon mirror caps to see what it looks like.
I don't really like how the standard silver looks. I have a estoril blue M235i with silver caps (company car) and a black M235i with carbon fiber mirrors caps (personal car). The CF makes a big difference. Maybe the standard silver just stands out too much on the blue car. Just my opinion. |

That does look good, but you photographed that perfectly to make CF look like matching MG!

Yes, and still looks very good. For CF, there isn't a better body color than MG! It works together even better than with black. I don't think it would work nearly as well on my VO, or even EB. The "color" colors seem to do better with matching parts vs contrast to my eyes.

I had "option regret" in my previous 3 series, but only "engine regret" in my current one.
When I get an m235i, it will have sports, technology and driver assistance packages.
