Just picked up my 228i

Very happy with the car! After I change the exhaust it'll be perfect

Hey! That looks just like my car. Are you in NoVa?

My beastie is hibernating currently.

Looking good. I agreed the exhaust on the 228 is super quiet!

Already have the stock m235i exhaust and diffuser sitting in the garage, just waiting to break in the car a bit and make sure it doesn't have any major issues.

I'm out near Leesburg. The cars and coffee meetup at Wegmans on Sunday mornings is worthwhile. (When weather is decent of course). Maybe see you there in a couple of months :

I didn't know you could do that.
I have a 228i Msport xDrive Cabrio on order and would love to put the M235i exhaust and Mperf diffuser on my ragtop. (Would have bought a M235i xDrive cabrio, but they don't make them).
1. Are you doing that yourself or is the dealership doing that for you?
2. Have you checked with the dealership to see if that impacts or voids your warranty in any way?

Nice car. Do you have the track pack? I am thinking you do based on the wheels? I could be wrong...

That's exactly what I said when I got mine. Exhaust is super quiet. I will say, I have 11k miles on it now and haven't added an exhaust yet. Perhaps I'm getting more accustomed to the volume, but I feel like it has opened up and is a bit louder. To the point that it's closer to satisfaction. When pushing the car its not bad, but its just whisper quiet when driving around town. Great choice on the car, looks great.

Not sure which exhaust you're looking at but after looking around I think the 328 bmw m perf is what I would do. My favorite so far.

I'll be getting a local shop to install it. I didn't ask about any impacts to the warranty, but I don't expect to have any issues should something happen.

Yep, got the THP and I'm glad I did. I was undecided at the time of the order and added it at the last minute. I like how I can personalize sport mode to just change the suspension and leave the throttle response to like how it is in comfort.
