My new BSM M235i
Tuesday I traded in my 135i for a 2014 m235i that a dealer still had on the lot.
I wont go on to do a full on review of the comparison between the two as there has already been many, but I will say the m235i is far more refined and comfortable for long drives, and the sport mode is great for blasting around town. I was hesitant to go back to black but I couldn't be happier with my decision, I have detailers OCD so it shouldn't be too hard to maintain for me. Here is the spec: Black Sapphire Metallic Black Dakota Leather Aluminum Hexagon Trim Premium Package Driver assistance Package Cold Weather Package Harman Kardon Surround Sound 8ZF Automatic Mods to date: Hardwired V1 Radar - DIY HERE 30% Llumar CTX Tint IND Painted Front Reflectors BMW Performance Grilles Lightweight Front Lip BMS Matte Black Exhaust Tips JB4 ER Charge Pipe Miami Performance Inc. 4" Catless Downpipe Anyway, here are some pics from the day I picked up! Updated pics to come. Last edited by alexc93; 01-04-2016 at 01:33 PM.. |

Congrats on your new car it looks great! I really think BSM fits the 2 better than most other BMW's.
I'm in the same boat as you; I am looking for a tune, but don't want to lose the great stock feel of the engine. I had the JB4 on an e92 335, and although it did add a lot of power, the car didn't have the same feel as stock. For me the m235 is plenty fast stock, so I will not sacrifice any driveability for more power, but hopefully I will find something that works for me as we all know there is never enough power! |

Couple iPhone pictures last night with Performance grilles and IND reflectors installed. Also removed the side M badges as I felt they were a bit much.
30% Tint all around going on this weekend. |

I do regular paint maintenance which helps, keep it in a garage, as well as only hand wash myself with quality product. But it's all worth it for the clean look |
