First time BMW owner
First post... just wanted to reach out and say hey out of Southwest Ontario, Canada.
I've recently obtained a 2016 228i M Sport. 6 speed manual, bare bones except the M Sport package and winter / summer package. It's been a week now and I'm really loving the ride. I'm coming out of an 05' 5.7 Dodge Ram Rumblebee which has been my daily for the last 16 years. It's quite the change. Previous vehicles before the Ram, for reference to my current bliss status: 05' Mazda 3 GT 5 speed manual 01' Mazda Protege 5 speed manual 93' Plymouth Voyager Van - Used first child carrier 87' Ford Escort GT 5 speed manual - my first car! I'd take another right out of the factory if I could. I've been doing a lot of reading around the forums the last couple of weeks and I don't have any questions (yet) that I haven't already found the answers to. I do have to comment that I do think the base Hi-Fi speakers could use some upgrading (c'mon BMW) and I do wish I had NAV, lol. Outside of that, I'm really loving the coupe feel and the tight zippy ride. It sure is quiet coming out of a hemi with aftermarket exhaust and headers! It's a nice change! See ya around. Cheers Chris |

Welcome. I'm from London.
Unfortunately changing only the speakers on the HiFi system will not bring audio bliss. Budget for an amp and speaker upgrade to fix the elcheapo system. |
