the more I see people their cars the more I can't wait for mine. Let us know how it drives once you drive a bit more and like you, I can't wait to see the xdrive this winter. If NY gets a winter like last winter it'll be put to the test for sure.

I hear ya! I've heard that we're supposed to have a brutally cold winter in our neck of the woods, however, not a lot of precipitation.

I've had a 2004 and a 2008 with xDrive and both cars performed flawlessly during the winter.

So far, with just the driving I've done today, I'm impressed. My 2004 330xi was awesome with handling and gave me a very confident feeling when taking corners at high rates of speed. My 2008 335xi was not as good at handling. The power was awesome, but the turbo lag driving around in the city was annoying and when taking corners at high speed, there was too much swish and nose-dive for my comfort. Gone was the go-kart-like feeling of the 2004.

This 2015 M235i so far has been awesome. I haven't really done too much city driving today to evaluate the turbo lag, but from little I have done - I haven't detected it like I did in the 2008.

Handling is just...awesome so far. I can take the same exit ramp off the highway at the same speed as I did with my 2004 and the car was completely stable. I could do it with my 2008, but felt like I had to muscle it more.

In a nutshell, I kind of feel like I have my 2004 back....with a nice kick in the ass!

Forgot to mention ride quality. So far, I totally love the ride quality in this M235i.

What amazed me with my 2008 was that it felt mushy when taking corners at high rates of speed, and yet, rode like a truck on wagon wheels.

The M235i can out handle the 2008, and yet, the ride is completely comfortable. It doesn't go into unnecessary convulsions when driving over hairline cracks in the pavement like my 2008 did.

Yep - I didn't get them in my car either.

Don't really care. The cup holders seem sufficient to me and the only thing I drink in my car are small bottles of Polar Seltzer. LOL

If anyone else attempts to bring food or drinks in my car: off with their heads!

Nice! Love the red!!

I believe so. I haven't used them, but I do believe the salesman pulled the mirrors in when he was maneuvering the car out of the showroom last night.

great! I was seeing some confusion of whether or not the '15's had them or not so was getting worried!

[missxmelon]

Mine have power folding mirrors as well

Congratulations OP.

That is a pic of a Performance Edition model not available in the US.

Now do you need a premium pkg to have the power mirrors. If so, I may need to change my order

Unfortunately, I can't answer that. I have the premium pkg., and the button is there on my car to retract the mirrors.

Does anyone have a pair of cup holder inserts that they are willing to sell me? Please PM me.

I was wondering the same thing. I noticed my water bottles tend to move around in the cup holders and wondering if the inserts would be helpful.

You probably couldn't even put your water bottle in the cupholders with the inserts in, no?

Nope. The inserts are not for any kind of bottles. The left insert is a shallow area, much like the rectangular tray in front of it. The right insert has two deeper spaces, one designed to hold the key fob and the other for what I know not.

[RobNH]

Ahhhhh....ok. Didn't realize that. Thanks!

Very nice to hear that you have liked the car!

I get my M235i Xdrive in january. I had to order it without any test drive, if 220i doesn´t count. I have a chance for test drive M235i Xdrive next week, but the car is 160 km from here. But it´s fair because cars are so damn expensive here

Sounds like the car is worth of waiting!

We also have ice and snow here in finland. So AWD is useful for 3 month every year, and helps alot when it´s wet. I have survived 8 years with my Honda Civic. But When I tested Audi A3 in snow I noticed that AWD is avesome

I have a feeling, you're going to like it!
