Mineral White Metallic 228i F22 M-Sport & Sparkling Graphite Metallic 328i E92
It should have been simple. I always thought that the car that was going to one day replace my 3-Series was going to be yet another 3-Series. But then BMW dropped the 1, and added both the 2 and the 4 making things even more difficult. I'd be lying if I said that that the 2 is as good looking as its big brother...BMW's design team really did a nice job on the 4 and there's no problem to credit them with that. But then I saw their respective performance benchmarks and realized that the 4 was quite a bit slower than the 2. That made the decision extremely clear. If you can get the same engine on a car with less weight, I figured that was the only realistic route a person should take.
As soon as the first wave of 228i & M235i starting arriving at the dealerships near me, I went to take a look and see how they compared in a test drive. Both were incredibly fun to drive...TwinPower technology really is something. Then I came online to read about what performance mods could be done to each car and saw that with the right combination of parts and tuning, a 228i can match a M235i. It seemed like a tuned M-Sport 228i was going to be the one for me. As everyone here already knows, the limited inventory was the biggest obstacle in finding the right car. The dealerships strongly recommended not to do a custom build, saying that there was people who had ordered it 6 months ago and were still waiting. So late last month, I finally found one I liked and bought it! Last time around I went the performance mods first, then did appearances, but with this one I did looks first because it already has plenty of power. I'd have to say my favorite part about it is the paint. Mineral White Metallic has so much more character than Alpine White, it really goes well with the M-Sport's aggressive lines. 2015 BMW 228i F22 CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT THE 2015 BMW 228i F22 GARAGE Color: Mineral White Metallic Transmission: 8-speed Auto with Paddle Shifters Interior: Coral Red Dakota Leather with Black highlight Trim: Aluminum Hexagon Suspension: M Adaptive Suspension Wheels: Avant Garde AG310 Glossy Black (Front: 19x8.5) (Rear: 19x9.5) Packages:

Excellent mods to the cars.
What performance mods do you have planned for the 228i?

Thanks for the feedback!
No problem, enjoy! Quote:
The 328i is an awesome car but the 228i really does amazing job improving on it. The extra power that comes along with having turbos is something you can learn to appreciate really quickly
