Spotted an M235i in LA
Hey guys,
I work next door to the Motor Trend offices, and we often see a variety of interesting cars that manufacturers drop off for photoshoots and whatnot. The M235i was there today, and I figured you guys would appreciate seeing it:

While I don't regret my order of my MG M235i, and I'm sure I'll love it. I hate these rims more and more every time I see a picture of them. Definitely first mod.

^ Funny, I am going in the opposite direction on the rims - hated them at first, now starting to like them. I'll be able to see them on the 14th at the CIAS here in Toronto - I find judgments can change with real-life viewing.

I do need to see them in real life though too.... EDIT - I think these are wheels that "need" a nicely dressed tire. That helps them "pop" in my opinion.

ahahah... I saw this same car and I met the guy driving it. He said he was writing a review on the vehicle for some european magazine. Real cool guy. he was telling me about the bad things or things he didn't like about the car that he wasn't allowed to publish in the magazine. lol

A little bit off-topic, but just a comment on the photo... That ~20 year old Saturn coupe still looks damned good. GM was on to something there, but, as usual, blew it.

+1 I would like to know as well - hearing about it from all view points and angles is always better.
