2015 M235i 6MT - Alpine white with coral red interior - Premium, Tech, Harman / Kardon

I got my delivery last week.. and I have to say.. I haven't been as happy as I have been for the past few days for a very long time. It's my first manual car.. and it's the first car that I purchased on my own without any financial help.

It's been just amazing driving this car on the road. I do feel the sorry for the car, since it has to deal with my poor execution in downshifting / rev matching, which I'm learning for the first time.

I've been reading up on the forums for months, and all of you guys have kept me excited about the car itself and the delivery. I am one satisfied driver as of now.

More pictures to come. Thanks guys!

Congrats!! Can't wait to see more pics!

Nice, btw how long was the wait?

golf_234 · 12-22-2014, 09:50 AM

Phenomenal combo. Alpine FTW

wjones14 · 12-22-2014, 10:10 AM

Congrats! Nice configuration. Mine will be almost the same, but I swapped the H/K upgrade for the rear camera option. Since you went for the stereo upgrade, how do you like it?

Any mods planned? Can I suggest the stainless pedals to start?

Vervain · 12-22-2014, 12:55 PM

Yeah this forum is great. Congrats!

Great choice! I had a tough time deciding between white/red interior and blue/black interior.

How long did it take you from order to delivery?

jskrilla · 12-22-2014, 01:22 PM

Congrats Coral Red looks great, can't wait to receive mine!

VMRWheels · 12-22-2014, 02:43 PM

I made my order on the last week of August and it was delivered to the dealership on second week of December. So about 3 1/2 months. My dealership originally didn't have a slot for production, but I kept on calling them and bugging them.

I love the H/K upgrade, but I've been only listening to the radio when I'm just sitting in the car... I've been leaving everything off while driving to hear that sweet engine sound.

It's a lease, so I won't be making too much mods, but definitely black grilles and tints. I have my winter tire set up with 18 inch Enkei performance GT7 wheels, which will be installed at the end of the week. I was thinking about getting M performance splitter / diffuser, but still deciding.

mrbrett · 12-24-2014, 12:04 PM

Great color combo! I have the exact same combo! Congrats.

stilldae · 12-28-2014, 03:59 PM

Got a chance to take some pictures.

Black kidney grilles installed and my winter set up wheels / tires

Wheels look great. What size are they?

Very nice!

Why do the stock 18s for the M235i look so small?!

nzw212 · 12-28-2014, 04:55 PM

Congrats, looks sweet enjoy!

Because this car needs a slight drop to look proper.

That color combo is hard to beat. I love my red/black but there is something special about yours.

mvallido · 12-31-2014, 05:30 AM

Congrats! Nice wheels.
