We just got our first Alpine White M235 off the truck. Decided to share some photos.

klepto · 02-18-2014, 07:25 PM

Hi everyone, we recently got our first M235 delivered at East Bay BMW so I decided to take some quick cell phone pics of the car to share. If anyone is in the area (Pleasanton, CA) feel free to contact me to set up a viewing/test drive. I have a white on red 6spd on order and I can't wait for mine to come in! Let me know if you guys want more photos or have any questions. We also just got a Mineral Gray 228i and a black 228i M-sport in as well.

So BEAUTIFUL!!

Esteban15 · 02-18-2014, 07:47 PM

thanks for sharing..some are interested one in particular to see the white...

patzcalski · 02-18-2014, 08:15 PM

Thanks! Please post photos of the 228is, in particular the M-Sport. Thanks in advance

dmboone25 · 02-18-2014, 08:43 PM

That side view is hot. Awesome my man.

SW19 · 02-18-2014, 08:55 PM

took these just now for you my friend!

Also bonus pics of the MG 228i we have

Sorry again for the crappy cell phone pics. I need to bust out the DSLR and take some real photos!

mankid247 · 02-18-2014, 09:36 PM

did your cars get shipped from the west coast or did the arrive at port on the east coast?

trying to figure out when my dealer will be getting their cars in

The western region cars get unloaded at Port Hueneme down in SoCal. They should already have them, it actually takes longer to get to the West Coast.

mankid247 · 02-18-2014, 09:42 PM

I was at my dealer last Friday and they said that they were held at port for EPA testing so hopefully they all got released, Im going there tomorrow for an i3 drive event so hopefully it will be there as well!

patzcalski · 02-18-2014, 09:45 PM

Thanks so much! The M sport wheels look great. My only gripe is the chrome exhaust tips (wish they were black/dark grey). It looks great overall though

2ForMe · 02-18-2014, 09:47 PM

Wow I guess from the image quality on your phone the side of that white 235 looks like it was dropped! It's screaming for 19s

kaputt · 02-18-2014, 10:47 PM

Man the 228i M Sport looks great! Would love to see it in red.

Greenkirby21 · 02-18-2014, 10:51 PM

That 228i looks great! I'm surprised (in a good way) no fog lights

.

You should do a walk around video with exhaust sounds and all those fun stuff

pz619 · 02-18-2014, 11:21 PM

Those are some really great pics! Thanks for taking the time to take these.

So initial pictures of M235i's (and I assume 228i M Sports) have a silver bar in the lower grills/intakes under the headlights. Looks like US cars don't get this?

Not a big deal to me but it just caught my eye.

2ForMe · 02-18-2014, 11:43 PM

Yeah the blades or whatever you want to call them are not included on the US 235. Maybe they'll sell them as an accessory later on? most people think the car looks more aggressive without them but I dunno...I thought they were a nice distinguishing piece to the exterior.

Talk to an Aussie or European who doesn't want them. Could get a continental transfer program going

ccgonzales · 03-11-2014, 07:34 PM

Here are the shots of my 228 msport I picked up on 3/6. I love it!

SW19 · 03-11-2014, 07:58 PM

Looks great,enjoy!

Thought I'd share my new AW addition

Rupes · 03-11-2014, 10:03 PM

I think the Msport 228 wheels look better than the M235. Some 19's on both models seems to be sorely needed though.

2ForMe · 03-11-2014, 10:10 PM

jrstech I see you took yours straight from the dealership to the tint shop.

I think you went too dark. I would have left the sexy coral red leather a little more visible through the windows, but anyway...enjoy
