Sorry I wish I knew the answer for the the M235i, but I assume it operates the same way. |

That's a nice improvement - the DCT in my 135 won't do that...

Yea i am assuming it will be the same setup as the 335i Msport. But never know. With all these different models its hard to keep up with all the features.

Just got word my car arrives at the port on the 25th.
Only performance parts currently available for install at the port are: Grilles Shifter Steering wheel Mirror Covers If only this damn snow would melt...

My M235 is currently in transit to the port of exit and since the grills are port installed, I thought there may be a chance. I'll try to ask my CA later but if anyone has any experience with this, that'd be awesome. |

I remember greens and reds and blues and yellows. A Rolls Royce is supposed to look "stately". An M235i is all about fun IMO. Bring on the colors! |

Thanks a lot for sharing this. I may have to scout out the dealer to see if I can drive one. I really like that color on the 2. I bet it looks even better in person. Very sophisticated looking.

Good review. Plan on getting one at the end of the year...
Silver mirrors are dumb, I'll be forced to do Carbon Mirror Caps, or removing them and going with Black ones, if I do Carbon Accents I might as well go all out on the exterior.

The kick down feature is on the gas pedal. Once you floor the pedal you'll find a resistance point. If you push past that kick down is activated. The car will immediately drop to the lowest gear. It's very useful in situations where you are cruising and need maximum power immediately. |

It was black sapphire. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's son bought the car this morning.
