It would actually be fun (silly still) if you could change it to project the batman signal. Sadly probably the only option available could be to pay 2,000 to change the projection for a M badge as an M Preformance option.
coding can be done

Make a batman logo, big cock, hello kitty, etc

Anyone else as offended by logo projection as I am? This absolutely cheapens the brand.

This is worse than playing exhaust sounds through the car's speakers.

Agreed, but having driven the 428 convertible for a couple of cold days in May, i really appreciated the "airscarf" in the neck.
I guess the 2' doesn't have this option, sad. But understandable in some ways, since it's designation left some gadgets to it's more premium siblings.
All in all, it looks great, and beeing the same size as my old E36 convertible, it's the right size, hopefully it's as impressive as the big brother was.

Very nice! Think I'll get the 235iS, er, M235i coupe though.

Two questions for anybody who happens to know:
1. Where are the apartment complex and building by the lake in the photos?
2. Is that BMW logo door-courtesy-light some kind of "comfort" option?

Thanks in advance.

"Please, MTV, pimp my ride !!!"

But I'd rather hear exhaust through speakers than blow $4K on fart pipes.
Especially with no dyno charts to prove any actual HP or torque advantage.
But hey, that's just me.

Oh, and what is the BMW Advanced Car Eye, exactly?
Looks like a point-n-shoot camera.

Oh. It's a GoPro-like video cam.
You know, just in case there's a massive meteor explosion on your commute.
Here's sample video (no meteor or anything really):


Or maybe you can video near-death experiences with giant boulders:

When can you order a M235i Convertible?

Hey guys, new to this site. I live in Canada, and I wanted to see if anyone heard of when you'll be able to order a M235i Rag-top?


Thank you!

Not sure. I used to like the M235i, but as far as practicality goes, I'm intrigued by the 2 Series Active Tourer

Hate to break it to you, but xDrive is only available on the 228i Convertibles in North America.

Yes, that's true initially, but BMWUSA has said in at least one official press release that the 235 vert will be available mid 2015.
