How come the car has the black panel display without the pro-nav? I remember when I ordered the m135i they said its in conjunction, you can't order one without the other. Anyway car looks insane but it's quite expensive here in Beirut.

I don't know about the 1 series, but the black panel is a stand-alone option on the 4 series and I guess on the 2 as well.

The car looks good overall. I really like it. It's grown on me. And that's why i bought one, hehe. Hope to drive it for about 3 years and then replace it with an M2! I've posted once before i would never spend my money on an M235i, and look at me now... At least i'll have something exiting to drive for the next 3 years, before replacing it. Timing looks about right if there's an M2 coming
Ordered mine in mineral grau metallic, chrome line satin exterior finish. Black dakota, and i ve ordered a set of 19" manhart racing concave one wheels. I'd go for the yellow performance brakecallipers to finish it off. I've equiped it plenty, full option exept satnav and internet and such. Yes, it comes standard with screen in dashboard. For vehicule configuration or stats like oil or watertemprature, if i'm not mistaken, radio, mobile phone, etc...

You act like that's a bad thing.

If only the 2 series had the Si's simplicity of design, ergonomics, and electronics (especially the lack of iDrive and with well-placed buttons that make such technology a needless waste of R&E), it would be much better served from my perspective. But I digress...
Still annoyed at the lack of VO across the 2 range here.

Gorgeous color and thanks for sharing the pictures!


I'd go with a wider wheel in the back and definitely lower it a tad. Those rears are in quite a way from the fender.

Black panel is unconnected to Pro Nav. I've got black panel without Pro Nav

Maybe in Qatar it's different. From what I recall when I asked for it he told me it comes as a package. Maybe they changed this realizing a lot if people wanted it. It's the only option I regret not getting, but I think it can be retrofitted.

Saw it today.

Besides whe have seen "pics and vids" seeing the car in the flesh is a complete different experience.
The car is muscular.
the car is aggressive.
The rear looks surprisingly better than in pictures.
The color is bright, brighter than it shown in pictures. Very very attractive color indeed.
The interior is first clas. Nothing to do with our 1 series.
The sound is wild and burks accelerating and daccelareting. The sound is HEAVEN. Dealer told me the sound design BMW did to the M235i mufflers system is unique and new.
The car was indoors but half or hit by sunlight which makes taking pictures of it almost impossible.
Price il Lebanon is "are you seated?" 85000 US$

After watching the video I noticed a walk around for a Blue M235 from the Montreal Show



Enjoy

The setup is much more modern/original than the 4 series (even though i'm ordering a 428!)
The taillights look like Full LED. Is that right? If so what a huge slap in the face for BMW to give the Wannabe M car LEDs and give the F8x partial LEDs. Please say it is not so because..well let be just get the answer first before I.....

It looks awesome in EBII

This might be the fist time I have seen the manual shifter as well.

They are not.

I hope one day that BMW starts to put LEDs at year one instead of waiting for LCI. But the 2 series may never get them I guess, I don't think the 1 series ever did, did it?

I believe the big light bar is LED, just like on the 1ers. However, the brake lights and other stuff are not.

"L-shaped single piece rear light units with LED light strips
and LED third brake light"
