The wait is over....time to unleash the ///M235i!

I picked her up last night!!! Gosh how gorgeous she is!!! I'm coming from a G37S AWD Coupe....and I thought that car was awesome....this beautifully created machine blows it out of the water!!!

Initial feelings on this car:

- I really feel snugged and in control in the driver seat

- Steering Response is on point

- You really feel the power throughout each gear, I feel like there isn't any struggle to gain speed at any gear you're in. It really chews through the RPM's QUICK.


- The HK Sound System, I'm very impressed with. The highs are very rich, vocals sound crisp and clear and the mid/lows are great as well. Coming from the BOSE system in the G37S AWD Coupe which I really enjoyed, I was nervous from what everyone was saying on the forums about the HK Sound System. I'm a big music junkie/audiophile, this is definitely a great system!

- Braking is super smooth and bites well.

- I'm glad I also pulled the trigger on the M Performance Exhaust. This car sounds so mean now with its deep growl at idle and even hitting the higher rpm's. I wanna listen to it all day!

- Overall, from making a big move from paying $425/per month on the G37S AWD Coupe to paying $565/per month on this bad boy....worth every penny paying the increase of $140/per month. This is seriously everything I could ask for in a car at the moment in my life. This has to be the best car on the market for what you're paying for. Forget about the little things that might be missing....this is seriously a huge contender and is going to threaten a lot of car brands in it's class.

ENJOY THE FEW SHOTS I TOOK THIS MORNING!!!

Thanks buddy! Yeah me too! Now I'm just waiting for my all season mats with the red trim on them. They're going to call me when they get in as it was part of the deal.

before I added the M Performance Exhaust, I had roughly $3,900 off the MSRP which was $51,400. Didn't finance the car.

Yes leased it, 36 month @ 12K miles/per yr. Paid Taxes, Fees & 1st months payment up front. Did not roll taxes into the payment because #1. You'll get charged interest on the taxes being rolled into the payments and #2 even if I pay the tax up front, NY State law if car is totaled you get the taxes back, it's either the totaling amount in full from the lease or the remaining months you had left on the lease, not 100% sure but you do get $$$ back in that situation.

That is a huge discount, 7.3% off of MRSP for a M235! Good work. It is also refreshing to hear your opinion on HK.
