I think the spokes appear too thin on these wheels...look like they belong on a Corolla or something. I like fatter spokes for a bolder design statement.

I think the wheels look great when looking at the up-close shot but the spokes are too thin and they look like bicycle wheels when looking at them from a little further away. |

Digital dash as standard is a pretty big disappointment. I really don't understand the infatuation with them, especially when it's just a digital image of an analog cluster. But perhaps I'm too much of a purist these days for modern cars.

Don't like the design of the new headlights, but I like that they have an adaptive LED option. I like the new tail lights and having the touch screen on the NAV...
Outside of that, the other changes I could take or leave... I just wish they would have put an option in for oil pressure and engine temp.. But that would also piss me off a bit that my 2017 is here now..

I value life and hope none of the new computer connections work when driving other than mapping and music.

But within a month I began to love the preciseness of the electric steering of the 2er - and if I wanted a slightly heavier feel, I'd put her in Sport mode. Recently, I had the opportunity to drive my 1-series again (my son bought my old 128i ragtop) and I was surprised how much I didn't like the hydraulic steering of the 1er. It felt heavy and sluggish. So, don't fret about how you feel about the 2er's steering. You'll quickly come to appreciate it. ![]()

Dash is hideous, headlights/tails meh. Wheels aren't bad, but damn, that sunset orange paint is hot.

The dash is copying the out going 3 series. The orange is to much in your face and will date fast.

Yeah, but the 3 Series dash seems to flow a bit better in my eyes. And I'd have to see the orange in person to really get a feel for it. I was on the fence for months regarding my paint choice. AW, MG and EB were the contenders. I liked the EB, but figured it would get old fast. This Sunset Orange may be similar in that regard, but I like it heaps better than Estoril at the moment.

Is there a current BMW with the same style gauge cluster? Just curious if it does anything interesting now that it's partially LCD. (Digital spedo would be great.) My wife has a '17 X5 and while it's a different cluster than the '17 2-series, the gauges are still analog.

I just placed a down payment for a m240xi with the below specs:
- Sunset Orange - 719M rims black with all seasons - Oyster leather (I'm on the fence about doing black leather instead) - Dark aluminum trip (I'm on the fence on doing the wood trim instead) - Cold weather package - HK audio - Black grill - Carbon composite exhaust tips I'm paying ED invoice $4700 - $6000 (waiting for ordering guide to be released) below MSRP, will be doing ED September 16th (Oktoberfest opening weekend) and will add a dinan tune as soon as it hits the states. I think I did well on the price and options. Let me know your thoughts!
