Mmmmm235i

Mhotep · 05-16-2016, 11:32 AM

I'm new here.

On Saturday last week, I finally replaced my 2008 335i with a 2016 M235i.

As optioned:
Black Sapphire Metallic
Black Dakota Leather
Driver Assistance Package
6 Speed Manual
18" double-spoke obit grey 436M wheels with Pirelli run-flats
Heated front seats
Moonroof deleted

I know the paddle-shift is faster. I don't care. Driving this vehicle is undiluted joy. The only downside I'm discovering is the strain my facial muscles feel from incessant smiling.

Congrats! If you want to extract the most fun, replace those narrow wheels and crappy all season tires STAT.
