My 230i has arrived!

Ivanz0709 · 09-09-2016, 12:02 AM

Finally picked up my 230i, little disappointed with the fog light!

Joe240 · 09-09-2016, 02:48 AM

Looks really nice in EB. Can't wait to get mine. You could probably remove the fogs and put in the covers from a 240 if you wanted I suppose. Don't think that throws any error codes.

If you painted the splitters, I think it might negate the fog look a bit. I could be wrong. Any plans to get the MP parts painted or wrapped?

Looks good! I continue to think that those 461M wheels look better than the 436M I'm doomed with (and will be replacing).

Agreed, the 436m wheels aren't bad for a winter set, but stock the 461m looks better. Already have my replacements wheels sitting at home ready to be put on when I take delivery. 437m replicas 19x8.5et39 19x9.5et44.

Looks awesome regardless of the fog lights! Glad to see another 230i owner

I believe they are standard on 230i M-Sport without track handling package.

hmm...for some reason they are also on the 230i with no M-sport and track pack...weird

no m-sport but yea track pack? the m-sport gives the bigger bumper and the stock bumper has fogs.

I strongly disagree. A clean set of 436M wheels perfectly suit the car. They look better everytime i see them in the right lighting.

If bmw or a third party would reproduce them in a 19" or 20" I'd be very interested

boypaulkim · 10-26-2016, 04:44 AM

i have just realized you get efficient dynamics below the rpm reader whereas i have the regular MPG monitor.

i always thought 235/240, 340/440 models get the efficient dynamics gauge.

is there an option for it?

can anyone confirm this?

My m240xi cluster looks exactly like his. It will change between the different modes so in eco pro it changes to say charge and power in the same area.

isthar · 10-26-2016, 08:32 AM

230i? Did I miss that that came out when M240i happened? ( I thought before it was 228 then m235)

Joe240 · 10-26-2016, 10:53 AM

Yes 228/235 had the N series engines. 230/240 have the new B series engines. It's part of the modular engine family

I have an M240i xDrive and it has a needle and mpg gauge; no charging guage.

It wasn't an option when I purchased it. I believe they come in standard

That's odd. Both of us are US Spec xDrive Model m240i. Maybe it's one of the options that adds it? It's not a specific option like "Add efficient dynamics gauge" so not sure. I got HK, Nav, cold weather, Driver Assist, Apple Carplay as options on mine. Did you not get any of those options? Also when was your build date? Mine was September 5th.

It's the nav/full led/lcd display, I believe.
