The wait is finally over!

TAY TAY · 06-09-2014, 09:57 PM

Finally, after placing my order in February and a couple of long months of waiting, I took delivery today. The car drives phenomenally, and is everything I was hoping. I am really thrilled with my build, and the way the M performance exhaust sounds.

Better pics to follow

Alpine White
Coral Red
6spd
Premium Pkg
Tech Pkg
Harmon Kardon
Heated Seats
M perf Exhaust
Summer Tires

I Asked him to please remove the shit spray from my door handle.

Traded in my 2013 S4 and not looking back

Congrats and enjoy!

CONTROL ONE · 06-09-2014, 10:16 PM

Interesting. B8 S4 & S5 were among my choices but both felt too big. The 2 feels like the perfect size.

Jerich0 · 06-09-2014, 10:49 PM

WOW... you changed it for an S4? The audi was on my list before buying my M235i... can you give us your opinion on the S4 vs M235i ???

Lynn_228i · 06-09-2014, 11:10 PM

Congratulations! Beautiful car!

IM2C · 06-09-2014, 11:27 PM

Congrats. Please elaborate on what made you dump the S4.
Heated seats in FL?

Heck I like heated seats and I live in AZ (bad back and here any day under 75 is considered cold to us)

OP, Congrats on a great car. Finally got to sit in one the other day, I held off on the drive because I have to wait a year to buy and I figure it will make the wait tougher.

That's pretty much exactly how I will configure my car when I get the funds. Needless to say I'm green with envy but would love to see more pics.

hans007 · 06-10-2014, 06:30 AM

i cant blame you on the trade though i'd feel so bad on the hit i'd be taking trading in a 2013 model car ( hell i have been so tempted to trade my 328 for a 2015 m235i myself....)

that said, the m235i has to be much funner to drive. granted the S4 engine is good, but audi's are just a plow fest compared to a bmw and just don't feel like drivers cars (i sold a piece of shit 2010 A4 quattro to get my BMW and it was the best decision ever, car was understeer city and felt like a boat compared to even a F30 and an S4 is even heavier., not to mention it broke down a couple times)

btw i love the alpine white with red leather combo. exactly how i'd get a m235i. enjoy yourself out there.

Thanks everyone!

The S4 is really a great car. I purchased the car as an employee so the discount really padded the deprecation, plus it was a lease. The s4 drives great. It has really good power and torque down low which made it perfect for driving around town. Mine had the sports differential which transferred 60% of the power to the rear helping with awdsyndrom. To sum it up, its a comfortable car with a quality interior, great power and decent handling.

I just really enjoy a small rwd powerful car and the 235 really does a good job at delivering.

bimmerbuff · 06-10-2014, 08:04 AM

Looks great! Congrats and enjoy.

one1er · 06-10-2014, 08:19 AM

Congrats on the manual choice!

Exactly what a friend said when he left BMW for an Audi. Now he is regrets it and wants another BMW. I have yet to find another car manufacture that delivers an enjoyable drivers car and comfort in one. I find most lean on the side of comfort (Mercedes, Audi, Acura, etc)

dt20011 · 06-11-2014, 10:18 AM

The color combo is so choice! Congrats!

No, since it was done at port. The exhaust is on the window sticker so technically its the, "stock" exhaust.
