Hi everyone. Just bought a new 2016 M235i vert today. Picking it on Wednesday. Waited for 10 months to see if M2 would come in a convertible option. But seems that is not the case. So bit the bullet and bought this baby. Car has all available options. Dealer priced the car incorrectly online so I got a great deal. In Massachusetts they have to honor all advertisements the publish on their site. Can't wait for the modding to begin.

Color is Glacier Silver with Red Dakota leather.

1st thing to buy is new shoes. Preferably 19". 20s too big for Boston roads.

Will post more pics once I pick up.

Congratulations on the new car!

skeee1 · 05-29-2016, 06:48 PM

Thank you. Can't wait to pick her up.

Congrats! Love my glacier silver also!

Very nice choice. Good Luck. I want a vert as well. Estoril blue with Dakota Oyster. My neighbor has a 4 series in that color combo, awesome.

Congrats!

I used to have an E46 M3 vert and loved it - and miss it.

Yah, new shoes will give it a more aggressive look. I personally don't think the 2'er needs 20's. Hell, I put staggered 18's on mine with a more aggressive offset and it helped a lot.

Have fun.

What sort of pricing error did they make? Curious if it is still posted since I am shopping this weekend.

doccyber · 05-30-2016, 01:45 AM

Congratulations. Enjoy. Thanks for posting.

skeee1 · 05-30-2016, 08:31 AM

By pricing error the dealership put online was sticker stating $56k then discount from there. The actual sticker was $59k. I ended up walking out the door fully loaded with rim and tire protection at $53k.

bozman9 · 05-30-2016, 09:22 AM

Wow! That's amazing! Sudbury, right? I stopped in there a week ago. Did not get the best vibe so I've been checking out others in the area instead. Good experience so far?

Great deal on the car. Enjoy it!

Yes, Sudbury. I usually would not buy from them. I have been a loyal BMW Boston client for my past 7 BMWs. But Boston did not have the vehicle I wanted. I live 2 miles from the Sudbury location so I figured I would stop in. Once I test drove the vehicle I knew I wanted it. So far so good. I dealt with Henry. He was very knowledgeable and helped to make the process smoother.
Good luck with your search as well.

As a fellow north-easter, I would be very weary about going with the 19's even for the summer months. This car does not have a lot of rubber and down here in NY I've already killed a few tires on 18's. But if you don't do a lot of driving or know a good wheel repair guy that's another story.

As an ex- NY'er, agree completely. Didn't think I'd find worse roads, and then I moved to Michigan. I also swapped out my OE 18s.....for BBS SR 17s. Excellent handling and ride with lower weight wheels.

Very nice... Congrats!

IMO the M235i is one of the best 4 seat convertibles available that you can use as a daily driver.

I agree, that is a nice collection you have.
