Finally pulled the trigger on M235i

Scott2414 · 09-19-2014, 01:25 PM

I had been between a 2015 with xDrive and a 2014 M235i RWD. My local dealer called me and offered it to me at invoice. The I had additional $1000 UDE and $1000 BMW Innovations Cash so ended up $2000 under invoice. 53 mile on the ODO of which about 25 were from my test driving it. Could not pass it up

M235i
Mineral Grey
Premium Package
Heated Seats

I love the power and handling. Eco mode is a laugh. Feels soooo sluggish, but I will only use it on the highway. But everything else about this car puts a smile on my face. I am getting the black grills and the m sport pedals and possibly upgrade the stereo. Other then that the power suits me fine. Even my wife loves it which was a bonus!

Congrats Scott! Sweet car! They are awesome machines in every way.

Congratulatons, best wishes, and enjoy! Rear wheel drive will be just fine with a good set of winter tires. I just ordered 17" wheels with Blizzak WS80 from tirerack.com. Amazed that they had 17s which fit over the blue calipers, but they did the test fitting, and it allowed 215/50-17 tires for the better traction of a skinny winter tire. Total was about $1600 delivered mounted, balanced, with TPMS installed.

Awesome! Now go buy a decent camera with all that money you saved and come back with a better pic!

Yeah, I know the pic sucked, but it was with my moto x in the starbucks parking lot right after I picked it up. I do not typically carry my Digital SLR around with me. And at this point we all know what they look like stock, I was just excited to post a quick pic.

missxmelon · 09-19-2014, 03:14 PM

Nice!! That's a great deal. Congrats

Just messing with you. Even stock, I think people still like to see other cars, especially in different colors than what they've purchased or are looking to order... at least for me. There are so few around, pics are all we really have to go on.

Friggin insane price! Good job and grats on the car!

Cal · 09-22-2014, 06:31 PM

Congrats! It's amazing what kind of deal you got! Almost unbelievable for folks out west. That car would have been sold a long time ago for more than invoice. (BTW, one SF bay area dealership is asking 1k below MSRP on their demo 2014 and saying it's a great deal. That 1k reduction is coming from BMW's innovation credit too. lol)

Anyways, post a few more pics when you get a chance.

mrbrett · 09-23-2014, 12:33 AM

Congrats! Looks awesome. All 17 greyish pixels!
