Only things it doesn't have are a nice stereo (which is not even an option so best to keep the base and go aftermarket so too an auto close trunk). As a stretch I could say it's just missing HID/LED lights standard or the nav/large screen. The former you have to live without since they don't perform better just look cooler and the latter you can just grab on ebay. Sure it's 'missing' auto braking and lane keep stuff plus auto distance cruise control but I don't see that as 'missing'. It is missing a spare tire but that's not an option anyway. Other than that I don't know what else it could have. (I'm not talking about larger engine or suspension/brake/cosmetic packages which come standard in a 235/240 or just a stand alone package). Even the base model comes with the sport/memory seats, power everything, puddle lights, auto wipers, BFD tail lights, backup cam/bluetooth, keyless, dimming mirrors, and this goes back to 2016. Basically the stuff you get on a loaded honda or kia. Seth |

^ This.
I've relied upon Mike for years and think his maintenance schedule for people who intend to keep their BMWs is well worth following. Plus, if you're a BMWCCA member he'll answer maintenance questions specific to your circumstance. Mike is a real asset to the club. My schedule: coolant every 24 months; diff every 12K, trans every 30K, and engine every 5K. I put on 3.8K last year; at that rate, I won't often be doing the fluid changes. For those who want one, BMW does offer a spare tire: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...74#36110445045. I suspect it's not offered at the time of purchase because BMW didn't make a secure space for it (and a jack) in the trunk. You can buy one at ECS Tuning: https://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-F22-M2...h/36110445045/. ECS also has the complete kit: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...t/36112159860/.

Seth,
You post made me laugh, you state it comes with everything standard then list the things it's missing:- Nice Stereo Bigger Screen Auto Close Trunk HID Lights Lane Departure Auto Braking Oddly enough the auto close trunk is about the only thing on my list. Maybe we get a bum deal here in the Uk in terms of spec. My car has a couple of packs which gave me cruise control and front parking sensors. I see most of you guys get a sunroof. Things I miss are:- Folding Mirrors Auto Dim Rear View Mirror Light In The Sun Visor Keyless Entry Auto Full Beam That's just a quick list off the top of my head. |

To get a car without a sunroof here, you have to order it built for you that way. Dealers put a sunroof on every car they order from BMW.

I have seldom/never used my sun/moon roof in all my previous bimmers, so was glad I could order my F22 with the delete and get a $900 reduction.

Everything comes as part of a pack here and very often to get one thing you have to combine it with another pack. Clever marketing.
I don't mind not having a sunroof. Specifically had one last time and ended up selling the car because it started creaking and was circa £600 to repair. I only used it once or twice so it's not essential. One thing we don't have is those horrible orange reflectors on the front wing (fenders). |

The principal reason I made sure I got a car without one was for the weight reduction. Since I'm planning to keep the car indefinitely, the other reason was to avoid a repair expense for something I wouldn't use.

1) Clear data from research that they reduce the chance of nighttime side impacts at intersections. That is good for me and for the person who might have otherwise not seen me as well. 2) They don't detract much from a Valencia Orange exterior!

Some peeves: 1) Drone of muffler pipped in over the audio system. 2) The too far forward door handle to get out easily every time. 3) The junk standard audio system. My wifes X1 is great. I'm happy I didnt pop for the HK. Learned my lesson from my E92. 4) Speech recognition not working for my wife's French accent. Works pretty goof for my accent though. Hmmmm? 5) Double door handle pull to get out and double push on start/stop to shut everything off. 6) Bitch wheel offset. 7) 1st gear brain dead performance (or rather lack thereof) 8) And most unpleasant ... that vague, lifeless and somewhat imprecise steering. But, I bought it for the 6 cylinder turbo power. So the world is set correct and all is good.

Dont need to double push to turn everything off. Push once. Get out, lock car, everything turns off.

This really makes me wonder what kind of coked up go-carts y'all have been driving that make a 2 feel lifeless by comparison. Mine changes direction like Doug seeing a squirrel.

A swap of M2 lower control arms from Turner Motorsports solves this very well!
