Yes absolutely agree.

Mr Carrots · 05-13-2018, 09:37 AM

Congrats, those lci wheels look great (not like our old 436s)

TrentonBornBMWGirl · 05-13-2018, 10:18 AM

Love the color and the black grills/tires!! Nice!!

Sportstick · 05-13-2018, 10:32 AM

Congratulations! A great choice and looks outstanding!

Rayscott · 05-13-2018, 02:31 PM

Very nice, you can get to the grocery in style and fast.

Sunny_M240I · 05-13-2018, 03:48 PM

I had the dealer paint the mirror caps and rear diffuser as part of the deal. I had 20% tint on my G35 so I went with the same on here. I realize now ceramic tint is much darker. Thought it would be a bit lighter because interior is brown. I like it but not sure if the cops will.

fg9ze · 05-13-2018, 05:27 PM

Nice!! Love the color combo!

Sypher · 05-13-2018, 06:00 PM

Another 2er in Ottawa. Nice!

And no worries about the ice cream melting on the way home.

B58togo · 05-13-2018, 06:35 PM

And already parking in handicapped spots!

Congrats. Like those wheels so much better than the 436M’s.

Denk · 05-13-2018, 06:57 PM

Nice combo! Get them to paint that front plate bracket too.

CP911 · 05-14-2018, 12:11 AM

Congrats on your first new car! Looks excellent! Rear diffuser looks pretty good too. If it's not asking too much, can we get another pic of the diffuser from a bit further back?

3rdcoast228i · 05-14-2018, 06:45 AM

Congrats, it's beauty.

Looks like he has valid tags on his dashboard for using that spot.

And, don't forget the MSport calipers to go with the mirrors! (New ///M decals are available.)

here you go

Mr Carrots · 05-15-2018, 01:38 PM

wait, doesn't it come painted stock? Mine came from port with a painted MG diffuser (that I'm replacing with a CF one as soon as my tax refund comes in, lol)

It came with a black one. The OEM diffuser looked to square. Not sporty enough. My opinion. I believe the 230 is painted and I liked the look of it.
