I'm driving an arctic silver 335is with the DCT until my Estoril M235i comes in. My 335is has been a great car, probably my favorite BMW of the ones I have owned second only to my 330i ZHP. Still like the looks of the 3/4 coupes better than the twos but I am looking forward to having a smaller car again closer to my E46 and E36 cars.

2013 BMW 528i M-Sport. Before that an E92 2008 328i. I was a huge whiner when the N52 engine -- normally aspirated 6 -- was retired and replaced by the N20 turbo 4. But I bought one about as soon as I could, and am now looking forward to the same engine in a smaller, more agile car. It's an impressive piece of machinery.

Love this thread, well this is my story:
I originally was driving a 2004 Lexus RX until my father passed away and I suddenly inherited his 2015 ES 350. At first I tried to love the car but it is just too damn big. The car feels like a boat and because it's a Lexus FWD, I has no feels for the car. So in the beginning of May I decided to trade it in for a M235i. Unfortunately, the car I want is a RWD 6MT which NO dealer would have as an inventory so I've got to wait for one to be built. I am obviously not satisfied with the ES 350 cause since I've taken ownership of this car back in December, I have only added 3000km to the odo. I would much rather drive my wife's 2012 Mini Countryman (which I've been doing for work) or simply take public transit. Sad huh?? Hurry up BMW and build me my M235i!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was driving a 2000 Celica GT-S, but then my son just got his license. Now I just get to see it when I leave for work in the morning.
I currently drive my '08 Sequoia and really loving the gas mileage. |

I'm sure most will laugh but I just made an offer to a new Corolla. I just bought a house and I still don't know how my expenses will look like in a few months (things other than the mortgage itself). My wife will need a family car for the kids we want to have anyway.
I was 100% carless, and now that I am moving far from work, I'll need a car to commute. The timing got tricky for me: I can't wait until there are more 2 series on the lots. I thought about some options: used E92 335i, new Golf R, used GTI... I think the E92 335i wouldn't be a compromise at all, but the others would only put me $10-20k away from my dream car, which is the M235i or now M240i. I'll keep following the forum, but it will take me a while to drive a 2 series |

Yes, I was upset to hear that the dealers only stock Xdrive inventories so I had to make it a point to buy a RWD. I will post updates when I get them from Bmw! Thanks.

Production on the 230i will begin some time in July. 228i I believe you can only buy inventory items now since the June production allocation should already be closed.
If you want a 228i you can get the tried and trusted N20 engine with great discounts on vehicles that are on the lot and good rates & residuals. If you go for the upgraded 230i you can get a new B48 engine which is also on the Mini coopers since the end of July. Up side are the possible features of 1. New iDrive 5.0 with CarPlay abilities. 2. Wifi Hotspot & Wireless Charging options (both $ options)
