I think they made the stock //M235i diffuser look crappy just so they could upsell a shitload of M Performance diffusers.
Good job BMW Marketing.

I hope they come out with some sort dual exhaust for the 228i if only for the looks
Heck, just buy a M235 diffuser and glue a chrome exhaust tip on the right side and no one would know. The diffusers look identical except for a small cutout for the right exhaust tip. You might want to rebadge it though or other 2 series owners will be laughing.

I like where this car is going - M2's going to be very interesting. The modern E46 M3?

I'm jealous of your 'is bits'... Test drove a 2012 135 two weeks ago. Jizzed in my pants. Put down a deposit. Next Thursday it's officially ours.

- I prefer the stock M235i front just add the black/CF "splitters". I'm not a fan of full lips.
- Of course, the black grills are a must. The popping out look from the grill is hidden, which is a plus for me.
- Mirror caps are a very nice step up from those hideous metal/stainless steel looking mirror caps.
- The rear spoiler is beautiful. I was expecting them to get a little creative with it though. It's too similar to the previous generation's performance spoiler.
- The rear diffuser is much better than the stock M235i but it's not amazing...especially when compared to E9X and E8X performance diffuser.
- I'd like to see the CF tips but I wonder how they'll look. At least, the tips don't stick out as much as they did in the E82.
- The brake calipers...oh my those calipers...I want them! I don't think they're the performance brakes though.
- Was the suspension installed? If so, I think it needs a bit more drop.

I love the CF interior trim. I wish we have pics of the automatic lever. The alcantara looks sexy! I bet they feel sexy too. I honestly prefer if the steering wheel was kept simple without that black/cf piece with a small screen at the top. I love the pedals but I've got a feeling it's going to be slippery with wet shoes.

Stylish gimmicks on everything but suspension, brakes, and LSD. Even then, I'd just go with 3rd party suspension. Maybe the brakes are decent.

for me, if the M2 is anything like the 1M, i will most certainly be in.....although i still much prefer the 1M's looks over what i'm seeing from the 2....there's still a chance i may go after a used 1M.

congratulations on the 1er, man! you are going to LOVE it. it's a fantastic car. post pics in the 1 forum when you get it

I am falling in love with this thing more and more!! I'll take it all, minus the steering wheel (I'll take a flat bottom over this one), brakes (I'll put a set of StopTechs on her), and the wheels (they're just hideous). Everything else I can work with. Needs more low though, too much gap in those fenders.

diffuser - 500 / aero kit - 1500
lsd - 1700
exhaust - 1500
alcantara wheel - 800

I love the gloss on your Mineral Grey 3 series in your signature... Those wheels would also look great on the M235i as well.

After all these options added to price I'd be better waiting for an M2...

This is pretty nice. And an interior that looks pretty good and in manual!!

M235 with mperf exhaust with cf tips with lsd with steering wheel with shift knob and some nice suspension upgrades and this would be a nice toy!!

Now turbo and throttle response lag, hope that was addressed. The current 135i is just horrible in terms throttle response.

Looks really good

Hope the PPK is offered on more models, always gutted the 3l diesels never make it to the smaller models, a 225d with a PPK might make up for that.

Unadulterated M235i still looks the best so far.


Those M performance wheels are hideous. I feel my eye rods burning, the longer i stare at them.

I have to admit that I don't love them - but they're better than the stock 18s, at least to me.

I wonder how much they will be though...

The diffuser is hugely better. Much much better than stock.
