My new 2016 228i M-Sport!

I just took delivery a few days ago and I am absolutely blown away by this car. About 230 miles already on her. Definitely counting down the miles until break-in is over! I am coming from a 2012 GTI and while that car will always be fun to drive in it's own right, this one is just leagues above in almost every way. Having rear wheel drive (finally!) feels awesome and to put it lightly, the BMW driving experience is confidence inspiring like nothing else I've ever driven. I have been a BMW fan all of my life so this has been somewhat a dream of mine from a young age. Also, I feel that this is close to the definition of classic BMW, in both styling and road feel. Hard work definitely pays off! I custom ordered it and I couldn't be happier with my decision.

Specs--
2016 228i Coupe
Glacier Silver on Coral Red with Brushed Aluminum and Black Highlight
M-Sport
Technology Package
Lighting Package
Driver Assistance (having a rear view camera & sensors now is awesome!)
Premium Package
and Heated Seats

Here's some photos I took while on a lovely canyon drive (don't mind the bug splatter) and then now, after it has been freshly tinted (35% all around). Any members here around SCV?

I love the color especially with the coral red interior. Do you have plans to change wheels in the future? Beautiful photos & location.

Thanks for the compliments guys! I am still loving it, unfortunately won't be able to drive it for the next week or so because of work but it's being safely garaged for now. I am planning on keeping the wheels the same (I absolutely love the style and as a matter of fact, prefer them over the M235i ones). Can't wait to have some time off so I can take a drive to the beach and rack up some more miles.

Awesome looking car. Paint matched side reflectors would be killer.

Thank you! I was definitely going to add some side reflector inserts ASAP. Do you have any recommendations on which brand is best?

Happy Sunday! Took some nice pics of her today with a real camera-- post tint. I have racked up 645 miles at this point. Took a really nice 140mile round trip drive yesterday up the coast. The car ate away the highway miles like it was nothing and I averaged 32MPG!!! This was at 70-80MPH with a few small bursts. Really impressed with the combined power and efficiency of this engine. Super happy with my choice! Coral red is really hard to capture perfectly in photos but in person it's an absolutely gorgeous shade and quality. Also, thank god for brushed aluminum!
