Got my 2016 Valencia orange 228i!

wlfkfilms · 08-31-2015, 11:48 PM

Just picked it up today. I will miss my Camaro but will definitely enjoy my newest sports car... It's Valencia orange, oyster sensatec interior, and a sunroof. Those are it for my options. Can't wait to drive it. The first pictures (sun went down before I could get more... 2 hours at the dealership. Ugh.) Say hi if you see me driving around SoCal.

Now, to plan my first mods...

dt20011 · 08-31-2015, 11:49 PM

Sweet someone from Temecula, I'll keep my eye out for you!

wlfkfilms · 08-31-2015, 11:51 PM

Ha. I'll be the mohawk guy with the red beard. You'll likely find me either at Freebirds or my gym.

Nice color, congratulations! It appears you also have the lighting package option,

wlfkfilms · 09-01-2015, 01:24 AM

Good call. I didn't order the lighting package. Hmmm... No complaints from me. I will check my window sticker.

BEMR · 09-01-2015, 04:59 AM

Nice color, we've got a 228i coming out of their on Monday, thought we had 1st guess not, take some more pics. Who's your CA?

mike@x-ph.com · 09-01-2015, 10:15 AM

Congrats!!
Not sure what kind of mods you are looking to get but if you want more power, i would start with the BMS stage 1.
I dont think this car needs any cosmetic mods (except tint)

I will get some more pictures. Just got home. I worked with Chad Power on my order, and a manager named Ileen Garibay on my pickup. I had some small issues with the entire process, but nothing that didn't resolve itself at the end. I'd purchase through them again.

Outrun · 09-01-2015, 09:30 PM

Great color, but those pics don't do it justice!

wlfkfilms · 09-01-2015, 10:58 PM

Some more pictures with the 2016 oyster Senstec/black interior.

SteveInfante · 09-02-2015, 05:45 AM

Very nice car. Congrats.

Alpine F31 · 09-02-2015, 10:57 PM

Love the color combination!

Congratulations!!!!!!

Mine is a 2015 and I'm kicking myself because your interior is so much nicer! Looks like for 2016 they include the sport seats and black dash standard. Mine is different as you can see.
I'm not saying I should've waited, not at all. But I love your interior.

I have to disagree. I think the all Oyster looks better than the Oyster inserted into black. :-)

I really like Valencia Orange and I'm sad that it's not available with the M Sport package. :'-(

Such a pretty car. :-)

I have to agree on the WHY NOT available on the M Dport and m235i cars? Really, there's not much color choice on these cars, the M Sport/m235i cars that is.

DBinOC · 09-04-2015, 03:50 PM

Love the VO - congrats! Wish it was available on the M235i.

The best things about getting a car in Murrietta is sitting next to Boris Said's Turner race car while you sign your papers, then taking Ortega Highway for your first "break-in" drive.

That, and they actually have some staff there who are enthusiasts.

raysspl · 09-04-2015, 11:13 PM

Gorgeous. I too, have to echo the same frustrations as to why the heck Valencia Orange isn't included for M-Sport.

Yeah. I tried to order a 2015, but it was July 3rd and I had to get the 2016. I wanted the mostly oyster interior, but I actually love the two tone better. Now all the oyster Sensatec cars are black, oyster inserts/seats, sport seats, and the red stitching on the steering wheel.

Yeah. The racing history is definitely fun to kill the way-too-much-time it takes to sign papers. I'm looking at a trip up the PCH sometime...

Lucky you, Hong Kong don't offer 228i

Really? That's a shame. What engine is in the 220i? Is it the same, minus the turbo?
