I believe that the tires are the same size as the E82 135, but maybe I am wrong

I am really digging the red. in these pics it reminds me of imola, which I love. I am however having a tough time with the rear and I think its the bumper. the black portion is too much and not shaped well. it needs to be more like the M sport bumpers of past. E46 ZHP, E9X, E8X, etc. I am sure the aftermarket will come up with something pretty quick, but it just sucks to buy a new car and hate parts of it right out of the gate. you know?

All this fuss about the rear diffuser. It does cheapen the look of the car, but all you need to do is tick the option 'color code rear bumper diffuser to the rest of the car'.
Problem solved. |

more night shots of the M235i @Welt...
A friend of mine @xTReeM just sent me these night time shots of the M235i seen at the Welt. They were taken about an hour ago. I thought I'd share them with you guys! Thanks Florian!! Flo said the car really looks good in person. The wheels did look kind of small and the car needs to be lowered a bit. Other than those two things its a WINNER!
I think the M235i is looking like "our" kind of BMW. Dackel Flo's's fotos... these three pictures were taken by another friend: Stefan L. and JUST bc I know someone's gonna ask... here is another picture of "Julia"

Dackel, where you by chance able to see what kind of ambient lighting the M235i has inside at night? Or was it still too bright in the showroom?
Also, the car is begging for some 10" wide rear wheels...like the 1M Coupe had.

I will get to see the M235i next month at Geneva. I am looking forward to it. I might be able to get the chance to see one before then. I will let you know if that happens.

Was also my first thought... Take off that ugly diff and get that performance one mounted... Also the mirror caps need to be replaced with the carbon fiber ones... Then get it an inch lower, mount other rims and wider tires and it looks really awesome... The headlights are REALLY good looking :-)

UPDATE: @xTReeM took a closer look at his high res pictures... the diffuser is NOT shadowline glossy, but rather a matt abs plastic. Have a look at these new pics...
