Yeah good question lol. When I got the car it came with all the stuff already installed - not sure why there's no centre trim?!

That's strange. If you have paid for the MP interior package, the trim should be included. Should speak with your SC.

Just checked, the interior trim set comes with door handles and dash only. The shifter console trim and the selector lever trim are separate items.

Didn't specifically order them - the car I bought had it already on!

Mate car looks really good! Especially the interior trims. Would it be possible for you to take a photo from the front of the car on an angle so i can see both the front splitter and the spoiler. I want to see how it balances out on the car.

Hi I'm new to this so not really sure how everything works in these forums but thought I'd introduce myself. Have an M235i and will be re-fitting my powerchip as soon as my visit to the dealer's for a warranty issue is over (poor quality control on passenger side mirror). Just ordered cable to enable some coding. Hope to meet some of you on the road sometime. I live about 6km from the Old Pacific Hwy and if you don't know that piece of tarmac I'd suggest you take a drive and try it out. Love the way the car drives but there's a lot of things I think BMW could have done better. ie. Speed Cameras, Red light cameras and speed limit of road you're on in the Sat Nav.
My biggest niggle is no temperature gauge - on a sports car! Pretty dumb of BMW.

How many are going to the BMW Clubs Australia Nationals at Easter? There's a car show on the Saturday, maybe we could have the largest F22 gathering in the world to date as there aren't many around, even in USA.

Hey guys, yesterday marked the arrival of the new toy. I ordered it in about September, but wanted a 2015 build, and this was the first shipment. It's absolutely fab - I can't stop smiling. It's quiet (contrary to what some of the reviews say) and handles as well as you can imagine. Anyway, I thought I'd post a few pics for you. Tell me what you think of the colour combo.

Looks nice and classy. What is the difference between 15 build?

Not sure Dave - not aware of there being any changes, but just wanted a 15 build for resale purposes.

im_dave · 04-01-2015, 04:40 AM

Anyone's black 235? Spotted multiple times at work carpark with perf body kit/wheels and exhaust? Looks mean!

Also spotted IHEARTJESS Estoril Blue on Collins St in Melb multiple times!

Other than that, not much!!!

Yep, black 235's mine. Nice to know I work with fellow fans! It's been a year since release now and I still haven't seen too many around.

im_dave · 04-03-2015, 04:22 AM

good to see you!

Sorry took so long!

I reckon the rear spoiler balances the front splitter nicely. Especially if you have a contrasting body colour to the carbon/black of the rear spoiler/front splitter.

Hopefully this week!
