How is your M240?

Very nice. My car is on a ship on it's way... Should have it in mid-January.

Congrats!

Please share pics of the beautiful M240 when the vehicle arrives.

Love that comment, garage queen you're so right, but its a pretty queen at that, I'd say prettier than the M4 (Prefer the M3 look over the 4)

I was discussing this with my dealer, and was advised not to bother with the ZF8 as its pointless.. with the manual it was highly recommended, but mine is the ZF8, so I decided against it and I trust my salesman, have done for over 10 years, and he has tried both.

I am not understanding your post, I'm sure it's just me as I'm kinda slow, lol. Anyway, what's pointless? The ZF8 or the LSD w/ the ZF8? And what's the reasoning behind that as opposed to the need for LSD with a manual?

Details in my signature.

Really, what I truly wanted was an M-sport THP Premium Pkg 228i without a sunroof. More than fast enough, more efficient, lighter on it's feet and $5K cheaper. But BMW wouldn't sell me that car, so I settled for an M235i. The extra 90hp was fun in Germany, and a complete waste in the US.

I agree. My loaded 228ix is more than enough for me. That's why it got picked over the M235 and M2 in R&T. Better balance and easier to handle on the twisties.

My dealer offered me a July M2 yesterday.. I did consider it briefly, but decided to stick with what I have.
