Hmm... Could this be another factor my M235i's build has been delayed.
N.B. I was aware of the change and it meant I could get a good deal at the time I ordered.

So I'm in a unique situation as I just ordered my 228 with M-Sport, Manual Transmission and Harman Kardon on Saturday the 14th. I don't have a build# or anything so I wonder if it will be built as is or moved to a 230? No response yet from my dealer

You can build a solid facsimile, and I'm sure Dinan will do great job in the US, but I suspect once you've done the mods, you've ended up paying more than a stock M2. YMMV, which is part of the fun. |

I already loved the 8AT transmission on the M235i, but I wonder if the "new generation" of the auto box has improved shift times even further.
Also, didn't see anywhere if BMW is still offering the LSD as an option. |

I love how BMW likes to (excuse my language) f**k their customers!
1. model designation change mid cycle... M235i value will drop (regardless of new or old engine) 2. Power: so close to M2... Despite M cars will always handle better on track, it doesn't bold well for the M2 regardless. Why make it so close?

I don't see how the meager hp/tq increase from the 228i's output merits the promotion to "230i" nomenclature. I'm all for pure marketing but let's not make it so obvious

The M2 forum is blowing up about this, too.
Some people keep saying the true value of the M2 comes when you're at the track. I'd like to see their face after a M240i xDrive spanks them at a red light. xD |
