Just Picked Up a 2015 M235i with xDrive

RobNH · 09-29-2014, 11:07 PM

Traded in my 2008 335xi coupe today on a 2015 M235i with xDrive. The car is Glacier Silver with black interior and just about fully loaded.

Haven't had the chance to drive it much, but so far, I love it. Ride, handling and power are so much better than my 2008.

I really loved my 2008, and i was a little sad letting it go, but I really needed a change and I have a feeling this M235 will hopefully fit the bill!

It was dark when I got home from the dealership, so I'll post a few more pics when I can. These were taken at the dealership today:

Car looks slick in silver!

missxmelon · 09-29-2014, 11:55 PM

Dang, love the silver. Looks great with the mirrors too. Congrats!!!

Congrats!! Finally another glacier silver

RobNH · 09-30-2014, 06:31 AM

Thanks!

It wasn't my first color of choice, and I really wanted red interior, but this one had the exact options I was looking for. It seems like M235i's are hard to find in Glacier Silver and hard to find with red interior. From what I've seen online, most of them are either Mineral Grey Metallic or Estoril Blue, both of which I like, but there wasn't one readily available with the color/option combo I wanted.

DSTR · 09-30-2014, 06:34 AM

Superb and well done. Enjoy it!!

Just picked ours up last Thursday, and absolutely love it!!! So many nice refinements from our 2011 135I and I have to say I don't miss our Audi S5. I can't wait to see what the xDrive is like this winter.

I have GS with red interior and love it. One nice thing about GS is it doesn't ever show dirt.

2015 xDrive owners, did you get cup holder inserts & a first aid kit in the right side storage area of the trunk as manual states???

Are the run flats inflated with Nitrogen? I don't see anything in the manual about Nitrogen but I was charged some type of fee for it.

I just picked up my car last night and haven't had a chance to really go through the car, play around with settings, etc. The only thing I've done thus far is adjust the steering wheel before I left for work this morning. I am going to be heading out there shortly to play around with it, so I'll have more information.

I can tell you that I do believe there are cup holder inserts, although they look like regular cup holders. I'm not sure what the inserts should look like to know.

As for the tires being filled with Nitrogen - I have no idea. Not really an important aspect to me.

I just looked and I don't see any cup holder inserts, but also don't see why you would need them?

Gsavarese · 09-30-2014, 07:20 PM

I have regular cup holders and no first aid kit. I'm guessing
I have regular air in the tires because they were pretty under inflated when I picked car up

No Nitrogen
Cup holders are formed in the doors and the dash
No first aid kit

Same here - regular cup holders and no first aid kit in the trunk.

Car looks amazing I love the color...you don't see a lot of that color silver (a lot of white and black)

the more I see people their cars the more I can't wait for mine. Let us know how it drives once you drive a bit more and like you, I can't wait to see the xdrive this winter. If NY gets a winter like last winter it'll be put to the test for sure.
