And minivans are even taller. There is a reason cars with lower center of gravity handle better.

The 435 is made to resemble a relaxed Lay-Z-Boy, in order to attract those in the car's target market...you know, the old bastard in the bathrobe whose balls drag on the floor...

Don't know if I like it, haven't seen it yet. You like the specs on paper? Enjoy what - the pictures? I'm just asking why is it 2" taller than 435i, being also narrower?

Yeah, I can see that, they like the seat higher off the ground.

So difference of $6,550. Apples to apples comparison. (even then the M235i has more standard features like $650 Msport brakes ) You could also factor in the M235i has more hp/tq. Adding additional cost for PPK on the 435i. |

If BMW continues to weld the ring gear to the open diff, then the M LSD will not be a cheap option. My guess is that they will use a final drive with a bolted ring gear in order to make this happen. I wouldn't be surprised it runs in the $2000 range, even then, it's a great buy considering you will likely pay much more installing an aftermarket after the purchase.

wow... looks are subjective but i like the front...
at the price point, bmw has a definite winner here - it has everything my f30 has, but standard options, lighter, much cheaper - interior quality seems very similar also...

I do like the front end...however the e82 rear stance is more aggressive.
And for some strange reason I see too much audi - the diff colored mirrors and some of the side angles look s5 like. m2 please |

Ok so what is the deal with the blue brakes and inserts on the 228i? Is this the only way the M sport will come? I like the sport options, what is the dif between this model and the m sport
