Drove up Pacific Coast Highway this morning in hopes of a photo op. Nice day, got lucky with the weather:

Fracking gorgeous man....... Love that color!

oscr972 · 05-28-2014, 04:07 PM

Nice car...and scenery. The MG looks great in pics. My AW just hit port!

RemusUSA · 05-28-2014, 04:35 PM

Gorgeous looking car!

jgunnz · 05-28-2014, 04:36 PM

Stunner.

Nice camera work too.

K99 · 05-28-2014, 05:02 PM

Any pics of the interior as I've ordered same MG with Coral Red :-)

dt20011 · 05-29-2014, 07:14 PM

That color combo is the business!

Looks great. For some reason yours looks smaller than all the other pictures I've seen and smaller than the models I've seen in person. Especially the rear that side view from the back window through the trunk looks- looks shorter -that is the distance from the window to the end of the spoiler. Mine is about to land at port on Monday and your picture makes me nervous! Again short of my observation your car is absolutely gorgeous. Could it be your camera your picture the way was uploaded

I'm kind of a beginning photo buff. I bought a Canon T3i about 2 years ago and I'm having a lot of fun playing with the thing. I've been using my new Canon 18-200mm EF-S Zoom lens for the car photos. Still learning composition - hope to graduate from the full-auto mode to manual F-stops and apertures someday

Don't worry, the 2-series didn't shrink! Heh!

After studying my photos, I'm thinking that the 2-series is more photogenic in some angles than others. Also, I'm sure that my lens (Canon 18-200mm EF-S Zoom) had something to do with the perceived proportions of the car.

I plan to take a lot more photos of my machine, so maybe I'll figure out the most flattering angles.

It's the only BMW with no LED coronas as of 2011. The quality of the interior needs to come way up!!!! Audi is leaving BMW & Benz in the dust with their A3/A4 models on the interior. BMW also better be using a better company for its HPFP's (high pressure fuel pumps) this time, like walbro. Always remember to let your or any turbo charged vehicle warm up for a fe minutes before driving from cold and cool down after spirited running.

The headlights are ringed with LED's. Is that what you would call a corona?

As to the 0 to 60 times, reviewers are experiencing 4.5 seconds.

Anyway, sorry you feel so negative about the 235i. But, that doesn't matter, does it. I'm very happy with the machine

justinnum1 · 06-01-2014, 07:33 PM

i like it in mg

basiluf · 06-01-2014, 10:28 PM

You have my same exact car and options minus the moon roof. You obviously have taste.

So, what do you call these things on my M235i?
