What I hate about owning a M235i ...

hoppy6698 · 11-25-2014, 11:18 PM

So, last week, I took delivery of my 2015 EB M235i and it is awesome.

Now, onto what I hate about owning this car already (yes, its been only 5 days!):

1) The current weather / location means I go to work in the dark and come home in the dark and cannot fully enjoy and share the beauty of this vehicle.

2) My commute does not consist of the Tail of the Dragon, in both directions, without a speed limit and no traffic.

3) There are far too many M Performance options and not all of them can possibly arrive fast enough or cheap enough to fulfill my modding desires.

4) I still have to work daily and cannot simply drive around on the non-existent Tail of the Dragon near me and enjoy every moment.

What do you hate about your 2 series?

I hate nothing. You do not seem to hate the car, just your driving environs.

Luke Warmwater · 11-26-2014, 07:12 AM

I hate that my car has only 300 kms on it and that I have to baby it until it is broken in.

I hate that you're hating...hater

akuan99 · 11-26-2014, 09:34 AM

I hate that the default driving mode is not sport mode.

dharo1 · 11-26-2014, 09:36 AM

I hate that people Always ask me: how much was your car!!!

3.0L · 11-26-2014, 10:07 AM

No problems here. I'm retired, so I drive my M235i whenever and where ever I want. One of my favorites is the beautiful Pacific Coast highway one, only minutes away. Life is good.

DanG · 11-26-2014, 10:36 AM

I hate the Seattle area traffic but the car is fantastic.

pdubb · 11-26-2014, 11:18 AM

PCH is great, but not if you want to take it up to speed.

I hate I have to baby my car right now with only 300miles on it. I want to open it up so badly.
I hate that I cannot get the pandora cover art to appear on the screen.

I hate myself for stating these things.

F80_M · 11-26-2014, 11:26 AM

Hate making payments on it

ska///235i · 11-26-2014, 11:29 AM

I hate the haters on the m235i

hyperzulu · 11-26-2014, 11:32 AM

I hate that I got to enjoy and fully break-in the car on Europe's highways and the Nürburgring Nordschleife while on vacation for nearly three weeks without a care in the world and had to come back to reality and crappy drivers and crappy roads. I hate that it's 40 miles away in Oxnard since the 19th and I STILL can't get it back yet...

pdubb · 11-26-2014, 11:33 AM

Oh man.. 40miles away and its been a week. I'd go there and demand that beauty.

It's the only downside of European delivery. The redelivery is long and you have no idea what customs and agriculture is doing. Normal cars are cleared through customs before they get off the ship.

Demetrius Joel · 11-26-2014, 07:24 PM

I hate the gas mileage.

Hate leads to anger.,Anger leads to fear, And leads to the dark side.

My response to this with any car is always "why? You want to make the payments for me?"

Enovoc · 11-27-2014, 01:06 PM

The one thing I hate is that I don't have a back up camera. Otherwise I love my car !
