M235 One Take

LDSM · 01-29-2015, 05:14 PM

Matt Farah Reviews the M235 on some twisties, he loves it even though the car had runflats.

He said if it were his money he would get the 235 over the m4, especially because of the size, and while the m4 is a better car, it's not 30k better.

I really can't wait to see how the M2 turns out

Nice, thanks for sharing

This makes me wonder if I should get the LSD installed...

Are you sure car had LSD ? Leather interior and LSD for $47000, good deal.

Yeah I know

I begged the salesmen for the PSS off the other 235i they had but the run flats are in fact what came with my VIN so I had to let it go.

Beat me to it. Great vid and I agree wholeheartedly.

M-tavo · 01-30-2015, 07:09 AM

Mine came with AS Run Flats... I was hating it at the beginning but now I'm loving the idea that its pushing to change wheels and tires lol

Yet at the start he only mentions the exhaust?

I simply forgot to mention it. Car had the LSD from the start whereas the MPE was recently added at that time.

ocN55, nice of you to let Matt drive your car and create the review. It seems like he was truly impressed with the car, even with the run-flats. Looks like you just got it also as your car had less than 1K miles as mentioned in the video.

BTW, what car was behind you guys that Matt mentioned a couple of times? Couldn't get the name of it.

Thank you for your kind words! This was filmed about 4 weeks ago and my car has twice as many miles now. Loving every second of driving it.

And the car behind us was a Fiat 500 Abarth, and he was really moving lol

If you search the same channel Matt Farah reviews a Fiat Abarth and hates it. Says its too tall which upsets the center of gravity and the engine isn't that strong.
He also does a review of a 228 on the same day and loves it. The 2 series is a real sleeper, not many people realize its potential.
