Finally here - My 228i M Sport
Placed my order back on May 8th and the day has finally arrived . Got a "surprise" text from my sales guy this morning with some goodies. I'm at work and can't wait to pick her up. Lots of mods planned. More pics as well . Woohoo

Finally picked it up. First impression: Absolutely awesome.
Quick, responsive, and can I say, stunning to look at. So many people turning their heads in awe how beautiful the car really is in person. Pictures don't do it justice. First small mod done already by replacing the shifter and shifter console trim with the carbon parts. Next on the list is the painted reflectors, m performance pedals, grill, and tint. Will see where to go from there. |

Beautiful car! I love Alpine White which is what I have ordered also. I love the red seats! I ordered black Dakota seats and keep wondering if I should have ordered oyster Dakota seats. The red interior really looks sporty and fun with the white exterior! Please post more pictures when you do the mods! Enjoy! Congratulations!

Guys, I recently purchased MW/CR M235i, and looking at this red color i am totally worried. I like how the red looks in second guy's car, but the original poster red color is way too flashy and i hope it us just a photo contrast was boosted. Could you guys let me know what the real coral red looks like? Is it that bright as on the first picture??
I need to say i saw coral red on 235i in person and it looked nothing like this poster's red on a picture. i hope they haven't changed it to this flashy red. |

I think it looks a bit brighter in the pictures than in real life. But again, if you see it in person, you may still think its too bright. This is all relative. Have you seen coral red in person before you ordered the car?

Nice looking car, I like the looks of the 228i M more than the M235i, it's a pity you can't have those wheels and colour coded mirrors on the M235i from the factory, who actually likes those grey mirrors?

Thanks for the positive comments. The car looks great IMO especially with the red leather. It just stands out and keeps turning heads haha. You are spot on as far as the mods are concerned. One thing probably not so obvious and hard to see is spacers. I have 12mm front and 15mm rear. I was reluctant to put them on but my friend was pushing me and ended up putting them on. Looks pretty good I think, no regrets. Today I also installed the Performance pedals as well as the side splitters/blades. I'll try to take some pictures. The only thing left is the m235i performance diffuser and m235i performance exhaust fitted onto my 228i. Not sure when I'm going to do it though.
