'15 M235i is my wife's commuter and our runaround car. It was easy for me to "sell" her on this car because of the size. It replaced her '05 Audi S4 and she wanted something not-too-large. Cars, in general, have gotten so huge!

Silver on Porsche looking good man. Much love.

That is a hard choice picking which car to drive having 16 M235i and Z06. Great man. Wish I was loaded with money, so I can have two cars at a time, but I ain't that rich yet!

I mean...I do love 128i which I have been driving about year and a half, but having driven sedans before this car, I kinda miss extra headroom and more spacious interior. I might test drive 228i and see if it gives me more roomy feeling. I'm also thinking about new WRX STI, but I'm kinda waiting on engine update on both cars now. I gotta tell you tho. I love how 128i offers hydraulic steering and naturally aspirated engine added with the fact that it has perfect weight distribution. It is the best ride fun I ever had with any cars I have ever driven, but like I said, extra interior space will be much appreciated man.

Just get a well optioned M235i or pull the trigger and go F82. There is no need for 2 cars unless one of them really is special.
Hey man, thanks for your input man. I kinda changed my thought from when I posted this question back in June. I might get into 228i m sports or WRX STI next year. I kinda miss that roomy interior feeling. I do love my little bad boy tho lol. Also, shout out to LA man. I visit there once a year to see my home boys and be there in about a week too this year.

looking good man. you living in my dream driving both m235i and STI man. I'm interested in WRX STI and 2er as well, but unfortunately, I gotta choose one car as I trade in my beloved 128i. Thanks for the pic. That kinda sways my decision to WRX STI now.

With the Z07 package having the Sport Cup 2 tires, it makes the choice a lot easier. When it's too cold, or wet the Z stays in the garage.

Still loving the 235. So far it feels like a very good decision to have picked it up.

When you drive 60 miles roundtrip to work in traffic and see ridiculous accidents on the daily and don't want to rack up the miles on your new purchased BMW... That's the point of having another car as a daily in Fl....

Two cars. 1) BMW M235i xDrive (still stock) and 2) modified VW Scirocco 2.0TSI.

I usually swap them back and forth depending on my mood. The bimmer is probably more of a DD, it is definitely the comfortable one, handles like a piece of cr*p in comparison, although sufficiently fast. More of a disappointment at this point (I'm hoping to change that with some upgrades).

Scirocco being smaller, a lot lighter, shorter, much lower, intake, intercooler, modified engine and DSG maps, complete sports turboback, way better upgraded brakes, fine-tuned suspension (AST coilovers with camber plates, etc.), all rubber from bushings gone, polyurethane and aluminum instead, adjustable sway bars and endlinks, modified control arms, rigid fixtures for the subframes, etc... very stiff overall, aluminum and polyurethane engine and gearbox bushings, true LSD instead of electronics, forged wheels, extreme tires, etc., etc. Comparably fast overall but way more responsive, more poised and aggressive. Handles like a dream. Quite literally can run in circles around the bimmer. Completely shuts your brain off.

The bimmer is but a grocery getter in comparison... but again, I am hoping to change that, if not to the same degree but certainly want to improve the handling part.

Main vehicle is a 2015 Mercedes Benz 350 4matic with a tow package.

Yesterday I ordered the "2nd car" a 228i 6MT with heated seats and a backup camera...nothing more.

btw, BOTH cars are brilliant Silver

In addition to the M235i I have a 2014 Toyota Tundra. The Tundra pulls my toys and now since it is winter it has sipped and studded tires with 4x4 to get to my cabin so I can ski on the weekends. No way am I going to miss a powder day skiing. I also have a 2003 Nissan Sentra I bought when I sold my 135i within 24 hours and had 3 months to wait for the M235i to be built and shipped. M235i stays in the garage on bad weather days.

You will be pleased with either one! I have a cool wife who loves cars and we have no kids - that makes things easier
