Officially part of the club ;) My (new to me) 2016 228i

Just thought I'd share a few pics of my brand new (to me) BMW 228i model year 2016.

Fully loaded with almost all the goodies you can imagine and the previous owner also installed genuine carbon fibre bits all around the car. Oh yeah and he also installed the M2 wheels on it, pretty cool if you ask me.

I just picked it up yesterday and it only had 4000 KM on it, still smells new I'm very happy and hope it will serve me well over the coming years.

The only annoying thing about the car is that the previous owner though it would be "cool" to put the M235i badge on it even though it's a 228i... Any idea how I can remove it?

Cheers guys

Try using a citrus based adhesive remover and some fishing line.

A Little heat and fishing line, and then some alcohol to remove the adhesive. Make sure to wash and reseal that area with wax or sealant after.

Congrats on the car!

Thanks a lot, guys.

The car has ceramic coating all over. Would using heat or alcohol to remove the adhesive damage the coating?

Use some goo gone. Won't damage a thing.

Nice aggressive front end, looks great in MG! I don't think most people know a 228 from a 235 but yeah, kinda cheesy to label it differently. At least it doesn't have an M2 badge, even cheesier.

Yeah lol would have been funny if it was labelled as an M2.

I will try to Goo Gone method and see how it goes
