Re: the LSD it's an accessories "retrofit" option along with 19" wheels. I couldn't order the car with either, only after the fact through the accessories catalog. I'll reach out and see if he has any info on the other goodies.

I think they are standard on the M235--but if you just wanted those on your 228, now you can get them in a sep. option instead.

From a budgeting perspective, having all of those prices up front would be a lot better...

There are too many damn naming options these days.
If you want the M performance brakes, that's something else too...

Still no LSD? Come on BMW, lets have a line in those options for the LSD. Don't make it an accessory.

I tested it as well and liked it, but in the end opted for the manual, just because I remain a 'manual type of guy.' |

My 2 cents on price is that this thing is a steal at $43k (look at the comparisons. This car matches up amazingly to the e46 M3, 335is, and other examples they list in the forum. I was looking at them last night and realized the thing is the same size as a e46!. My concerns of size were eliminated immediately) My 335is was $60k and if you take a e46 M3 at time of purchase and consider inflation I'm sure that they weren't cheap. I personally think it's a fair ratio of performance to cost. MPG is amazing too considering. But if I build what I want and add the rims and some other goodies I'm over $56k for sure. So I understand everyone's concerns. I wish I could just go with the base at $43+ and be done with it. God forbid I can't use my nav to skype my friends while checking stocks and Facebook while hanging S turns at 70 mph. For me personally, even fully loaded, it will actually save me $ compared to my 335is and I really don't think I'm sacrificing much other than backseat legroom. Truth is I just wish we could order everything a la carte to meet our desires and price restrictions and add it up and the end. Unfortunately the "package" world is here to stay I think. |

So correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like this car doesn't have led blinkers or brake lights. Also it doesn't look like you can even pay extra to get led headlights. Am I right on this? If so, I am very disappointed that a car of this caliber doesn't have these things!

Yes but if you look at most reviews of the A45 AMG vs the M135i, people say the AMG is the faster and sportier car.

I'm very curious to see this car in person in Detroit. Some days it looks sporty to me, some days it just looks like a high end civic. I gotta see it in person to decide. Either way I do expect it will be fun to drive. |

Here the 4 cyl does not mean less. Because the AMG with its 4 cyl offers more power then BMW 6 cyl. Don't get me wrong I like the inline-6 turbo over 4 cylinder but in its current state the BMW inline-6 turbo in M235i is not as strong as AMG 4 cyl.
