Good-bye 2015 228xi Msport Cabrio

Good-bye to my Glazier Silver 228i xDrive, Msport ragtop and hello to my 2016 Glazier silver M235i xDrive ragtop.

Why?

2015 228i xDrive, Msport ragtop - Gone



2016 Glazier silver M235i xDrive ragtop

I loved the 228i and except for the slightly louder exhaust note, I don't sense much difference in performance and handling between the 228i & the M235i - but I'm taking her easy during the break-in period.
It does make me realize just how good the 228i is. I would have been just as happy with the 228i - but I was dazzled and seduced by all those extra little //M badges.

Never driven the 228i personally, but I just got my 16 M235xi and I love it. Hope you enjoy!

my 2016 didn't have the ///M badge on the side - did you add that or did I get shafted?

Side ///M Badges

US doesn't get them anymore, but Canada still does. Some like them, some don't. You can always add them if you like them.

Nope. The only add-ons so far are the dual slat grills and 50% tinting...
Dunno why the U.S. M235i didn't get them.

Where did you get the dual slat grill with the chrome surround?

Bought them right here from one of the forums sponsors JPSPEED (see url below).
I bought the gloss black dual slat grills - which, like the OEM grills, are comprised of 2 parts (frame and grill).
I didn't want to go with the black frame and black grill as I find the look a bit too aggressive, so put the black dual slat grill in my chrome OEM frame.
