New to the club!

4seriesNL · 02-02-2018, 12:31 PM

Hey Guys and Gals,
Thought i'd post to welcome myself to the 2 series club!
First time BMW owner and couldn't be happier with the purchase of my 2017 M240i

Its a Melbourne Red and i have already ordered black grills and carbon fiber spoiler.

Have not figured out how to add a picture yet so if someone wants to let me know how.. that would be great!

You can also attach the photo. Click on the attachment button (paperclip) and select the photo file from your photos. That's how I have added a picture of my car here.

You just want to keep the picture size and file size down so it fits.

I am new to the club as well! I pick up my 2015 Estoril Blue 228i tomorrow with all of the right options: manual transmission, manual seats, no moonroof, m-sport suspension, xenon headlights, and HK audio.

Hi everyone. I'm new as well! Picked up my M240i coupe three weeks ago after waiting 10 weeks for it to be built and delivered. Worth the wait. I'm also enjoying this forum; it's been very helpful.

Looks great in that beautiful color! Congrats and welcome!

wow...those salespeople are getting younger and younger!

USA-RET · 02-05-2018, 10:29 AM

Welcome aboard gentlemen. Congrats on your cars. The 2 series are the best bang for the buck BMW offers IMO.

I think you'll enjoy the forum as well, as most here are very friendly and helpful.

Enjoy those new rides.

Safe travels..................

Quick update... picked up the car Saturday morning. Put about 200 miles on it. Absolutely love this car. What a joy to drive. The N20 offers more than enough power for my car (my car is specced for lightness). Sure, it is not my C63S and that's why I like it... I have to work it harder and I'm not in danger of losing my license so easily.

The chassis is very responsive; it is more than willing to wag the tail and tuck it back in with appropriate input. My buddy who races drove it the other day and he was grinning ear to ear about how good this car really is.

My only "complaint" is the lack of an exhaust note. I am looking at a variety of upgrade options.

Outstanding! I've had my 228i for almost a year and I'm still impressed every time I drive it.

Congrats, very nice. I know you'll enjoy it, they'er lots of fun to drive. Good colour too really stands out.

Newbie here as well. Have had my 228i for almost a year now (2016, CPO) and still couldn't be happier (with the exception of the RFTs, which I've decided to call it quits on after a second blowout). Great little car!
