Hi how's the ZTK 6AM- real time traffic info? I wasn't 100% sold on the entire ZTK pkg but ordered it.
And what is ZF8?
Thanks

The traffic info is pretty cool. Best part is the traffic summary where it zooms out to the whole city and shows you where the congestion is in the city.

ZF8 is sports auto tranny.

Yes, 2000km. Can't go above 4500rpm or above 140km/h

thanks

SmallTownBoy · 05-10-2014, 09:09 AM

I thought the max was 160 Km/h. And it was hard keeping it to that on the Autobahn!

Nandor · 06-03-2014, 08:53 PM

I'm expecting delivery of mine in early July. Perfect timing for summer driving on the west coast. Can't wait. Good to see other EB fans too!

strike66 · 06-27-2014, 03:11 PM

hey guys,

Interested to know what deals you got for a 228i in Vancouver. Not much out there for $$ info. Looking to lease but the rates are pretty bad right now. Would be going for bare bones: M sport line and auto transmission in EB.

lust4bmw · 09-04-2014, 04:34 PM

I took delivery of my 2015 BMW 228i Xdrive Alpine white Coral red Nevada leather, premium package enhanced...got to say that its one amazing machine....

dalrx · 09-10-2014, 10:03 AM

Congrats on the new ride.....The 228i is still plenty of fun...I have had mine since March 2014 and still get a smile every time I drive it!

RedRocketM2 · 10-02-2014, 05:20 PM

Took delivery last week of our new m235i xDrive Performance Edtion. We traded in our 135i with full mSport options. Just hit 1000km and all I can say is what a car!!! Nicely refined and loving the xDrive.

Just had mine put on to? What is your opinion. They look great!

Noticeably stiffer sidewall than the PSS's, good grip though. There was a bit of slush at 1.5 C on sunday and i did a stop test and a rolling acceleration test and they performed extremely well. 50/50 weight helps alot compared to my old VW.

Stopping is all that really matter for winters anyways. Managing grip is your job as the driver lol.

Thanks, so far only driving in dry cold weather... I'm not on the road when its been raining so far.. def not as sticky as the PSS on quick on/off ramp speeds but handles quite well for what they are - the increased noise is bearable... will trunk a couple bags of water salt over the rear axle when there's snow

ckfraser · 12-21-2014, 12:58 PM

Here's mine. 5,300 km on it so far.

Wheelwright · 12-21-2014, 04:30 PM

Here is mine, 10000km mineral grey with brown interior and wood trim. For winter driving I chose a square setup with 18inch BR-10 rims and Dunlop 4D winter tires. Fortunately the rims were cheap, only $165 each, because I badly curbed one and the replacement from tirerack is currently en route (they were gracious enough to give me 30% discount + free shipping).
