Quick comment...I'm kind of surprised at their tire size choices. They really should have gone with a 225/35 on the front, it would have been within 3mm of the diameter of the stock tire. The 235/35 is 10mm bigger in diameter.
Rear is even worse, the new tire 26mm (1") bigger than the old tire, a 245/30 would have kept the same overall diameter. Wonder why they went with that setup?

Holy shit that looks great. The 228i M-Sport is a stellar value pound-for-pound. Seeing the car in silver really makes me miss my 135i.

Now.. if you asked me.. they should have gone with a square setup. Anything with less than 300HP does not need a stagger. Having rotatable tires/wheels is a bliss.

IMO, it all comes down to your priorities. I'd still find it hard to be without the extra go-power and sound of the N55, but I can see why someone would opt for the 228i in this trim.

This car is arguably the most "Pure" BMW currently being produced.
Order one with M sport and M brakes Remove the slush box and add a proper manual trans Add a LSD to the rear axle Keep out all the "electronics" Bam!!! you have a modern E-30/E46 coupe. I wish i was in the position to place an order for one. Especially when the N20 engine is being replaced with a cheaper version
