The Mirrors and wheels work pretty well with MG. The wheels in most of the picture have a bit of brake dust on them ![]() There actually a little lighter in color and their tone is less blue and more from silver / brown family. I was worried at first that they would clash with the blueish nature of MG but not bad and as you can see add a little dust and your all set ![]()

These are the best pics of this color i have seen.
When i see Mineral Gray on the lot on a 3 series, it looks darker. In these pics it looks to be a completly different color on this car, a much lighter shade. Anyone else see it this way? Last edited by captpn; 02-17-2014 at 02:10 PM.. |

For those of you in the west coast, seems like many dealerships are getting their M235i.
Just based off of instagram search, many dealers are posting pics. For example, BMW of Portland ![]() Where do Texas cars come from??

This is the week all the dealer will get their Demo cars. It would be nice to add some other opinions to this thread.

Thanks for sharing. Was just in Portland a week ago for the Auto show. May have to bite the bullet and take the drive down from Seattle again if they are doing test drives. Hope its not snowing!

No test drive was allowed yet
Just came back from seeing the M235 in the flesh in Mineral Gray And hated the color ![]() I really wanted to like it, I was sold on MG on red interior as that combo is beautiful on the 4er On the M235, it just looked dull, old and boring .. This car is meant to be fun and I think it will look better in a brighter more fun color. I think I'm switching to Estoril Blue and I just want to know if that will work with Tera or clash? I'm not into black interiors ... Also, the top of the dash is not soft like others have indicated, rather it's a very hard plastic, much worse than the E90 or even my MK6 GTI Otherwise car looks great in the flesh. I really hate car sales men who are not car enthusiasts. The guy who was showing me the car started by saying "why not a 4 instead?" I think the 2er will continue to be a niche product especially if the sales people continue to push" customers into the 4er |

MG is very bi-polar. Under daytime overcast conditions it looks incredibly bland and boring... but walking up to it at night under parking lot flood lights it looks like a million bucks.

Apart from who I bought my F30 from (and that was a long distance deal), I've never met one who is. Car sales is a revolving door so I have found few car salesman who ever know anything about what they are selling. It makes me hate test driving cars. ![]()

even worse than the E90 dash? so if you tap your fingers or run them across the dash does it generate a hollow/scratchy sound from within? i drove a F30 loaner for a while and the dash didn't seem to be that much different from my E90, it's hard on the initial touch but if you press down on it it'll give almost like an extremely hard sponge(but a sponge nonetheless) i thought the 2 and F30 shared the dash no?

I think I saw a 2 on the drive home today. At first I was thinking "wow that 1 series doesn't look bad at all. That means the 2 would look quite a bit nicer." I saw that on the freeway (it was exiting). Then on the way back home I had a bright moment and a bulb went off in my head- "wait a minute! I think that WAS a 2! In MG color!!" I gotta admit, it looked pretty nice.

That's really strange that you say that.. I specifically checked the dash and it felt no harder than the dash on my E90 sedan. I thought it was quite nice actually it's definitely Not like in some of the early USA built VW Jettas.
