Another New Owner!! '15 BSM M235i

Hello everyone!

Back to roots, my first car was a '93 e36 318is, really slow but great handling. Spent 9 years with VWs, back in PR I had a Mk5 GTI Fahrenheit and over here in CT a Mk6 Golf R, both awesome cars.

And now, the moment to jump back into a BMW got here with a M235i rwd. Bought in November and so far, I'm loving it!

So far the mod list is as follows:

Exterior:
-M Performance front splitter
-M Performance CF spoiler
-M Performance rear diffuser
-M Performance black kidney grills

Wheels & Suspension:
-Forgestar CF5V 19x8.5et40 / 19x9.5et45 Bronze Burst
-Hankook evo2 V12 235/35R19 / 265/30R19
-H&R Sport Springs
-Turner Motorsport Spacers 12.5mm(front) 15mm(rear) for OEM wheels

Performance:
-JB4
-Fabspeed Full Exhaust System w/ Sport Cat









And the second day after bought... (At least I installed the winters on before that happened)



UPDATE on Page 2


How she's sitting right now... UPDATE on Page 3


From my past, the mk5



and the mk6 Golf R


Which it was a lot of fun!

Congrats on the purchase! The Terra on Black looks very nice. Good thing you had winter wheels/tires waiting for it :P

Thanks, everyone.

I really wanted CR interiors but once I saw Terra, the rest is history. The other thing is that you don't see as many Terra's around.

Coming from an AWD (Golf R), I thought that the M235i RWD would suck in the snow, I don't know why rwd BMW's have such bad rep as for driving on the snow, with good winters on, you're ready to go!

It looks like your MK6 was on air bags. Are you planning on doing the same on the M235i?

Best colour combo ever! It's what I had ordered, but I'm ending up with something else now.

I don't enjoy having my car covered with snow like that, my car sleeps in the garage, I was just visiting and got about 13" of snow that day.. nice way to test the rwd in the snow

regards to the VWs, I want to have fun with the f22, lets see where this goes!

Yea a bit of a long ride. We usually meet up around 9:30am to about 11am sometimes longer. Summer time more cars show up but in the winter if its nice out there are few regulars that still come out.
