If the original poster is looking for a very sporty car, they need to know that they should get the Sport or MSport.

Getting the Track Handling Package on the 2015 base car gets you the suspension and tires. I actually HATE the sport seats, I don't fit in them. And I also greatly dislike the dark headliner and the non-body color mirrors.

I am leaning towards an Alpine white "no line" 228i with Oyster Sensatec, Track Handling Package, Cold Weather Package, and manual transmission. Maybe H/K, but I need to hear both systems first. Will replace my FIAT Abarth as an Autocross toy. I'd get the Premium Package if I could get it sans sunroof, but for me sunroof means no helmet. Hoping the sunroof delete option makes it to the 228i next year.
