Good question, and a dumb omission on my part--the M235.

You can blame the health and safety people for that, but it seems that the trend is here to stay... People also want (and I am guilty of this too) their heated seats, nice A/C and stereo, dimming mirrors, etc....all that stuff, plus the airbags and whatnot, really starts to add up. I just think these trends are part of the deal at this point...

I ordered all season tires, with the expectation that I'm going to buy a set of 19s with performance tires.
My car: M235i - Mineral Grey - Coral Red - Hexagon with black high gloss - Cold Weather - Tech - Premium - Driver Assist Going to try and get the performance exhaust, spoiler and grille, factored into the payment as well. Are most of you guys leasing or buying??

Here's mine. It was a launch car apparently so I couldn't change any options, but I should be getting it early February (it's on the ship now, should arrive in the Baltimore port 1/28)
http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Conte...tionId=4980844 If I could have chosen, I would have gotten it in black probably and gotten the Drive Assistance packages and Harman Kardon. |

Just a note to everyone to be careful of the "Steptronic option". From what I the Sport Auto / Steering wheel paddles are standard. Specifying Steptronic appears to remove the sport auto / paddles. I have no idea why anyone would want to do that but it appears to be an option.

I miss my manual, until I get on I-5. Then I love my sport auto very very much.

I'm constantly surprised by the praise the ZF sport auto receives. I read so many positive comments about that transmission, but I just cannot wrap my head around it. Having driven a DCT and ZF8 (sport version) back-to-back on several occasions, I really cannot understand how people think they're so similar. It's not so much the speed of the shifts as it is the responsiveness of the input. When you hit the paddle, the DCT is more responsive. I think a lot of people are fooled by the rapid shift and the "kick" that it gives you. That's not the same as responsiveness. It's fine when you're going in a straight line, but it's a pain in the ass when you're trying to execute well-timed shifts.
Driving the ZF feels like gaming on an LCD TV with bad input lag. That would ruin this car for me.
