congrats on getting on the home page , you wouldn't happen to know the spring rates for your ST coils? I am looking for the info but can't find out what spring rates are used for m235i

Thanks for all the kind words!

Unfortunately I don't know.

You can try reaching out to the guys at EAS or maybe even ST/KW for some more info. The ride is very comfortable.

Looks great. I love the understated look of OEM+ -- very nicely done.

Is your M235i badge stock as well? It looks a bit more satin than chrome. Did you do anything there?

I couldn't be happier with the result. I'll share some feedback on the suspension (which is fantastic!) and the other goodies soon. For now, here's some car porn courtesy of EAS.

Modifications:
BBS CH-R Matte Titanium Wheel Set
BMW M Performance Carbon Fiber Trunk Spoiler
BMW M Performance Gloss Black Kidney Grilles
BMW M Performance Rear Diffuser (Painted)
BMW M Performance Stainless Steel Exhaust Tips
iND Painted Front Reflectors
Light Weight Front Lip Spoiler
Macht Schnell Competition Wheel Spacers (10mm Front)
ST Suspensions SpeedTech Coilovers

congrats, your car looks fantastic love the wheels

quick question, do you still have the OEM exhaust and the MP exhaust tips attached straight on? thanks

Thank you! I also purchased the tip extenders. Makes a huge difference, I highly recommend them if you get the MP diffuser.

From what I understand, BBS does not have enough offset for the larger M brakes, so spacers are needed. Its usually on the fronts for the companies who do not do custom offsets.

s1uma1 · 01-19-2015, 11:48 PM

oh man... love the wheels. I'm debating on a set of black CHRs with the silver lip on a AW M235i... that or a dark gunmetal-ish finish.

JUSTIN335 · 01-20-2015, 12:07 AM

Very tasteful. Like

This is a 235i done right. I love how you've kept it looking clean, almost OEM, and I have all the time in the world for those wheels! Great job.

RingMeister01 · 01-20-2015, 05:16 AM

Well done. Very clean.

IB M · 01-20-2015, 05:31 AM

The car looks amazing. Estoril is such a great color. Thanks for all the pics.

jb001 · 01-20-2015, 06:47 AM

Very nice, i would've never told those are 18". I have bbs ch-r in 19" on my m235i. A perfect fit. M-grey, satin finish, performance exhaust. There's deffinetly a floaty feel to it when the car is pushed hard. I reccognize that... What do the coilovers cost? Maybe i'll change them. Not sure i'll spend my money since I'm planning on getting the M2 somewhere mid 2017. Let's hope they do a better job on that. Other than that, thruly a great and fun car.
Here's a link of some pictures if anyone is interested.

Nebraska330xi · 01-20-2015, 06:51 AM

Perfect. Don't change a thing. Those BBS look very nice. Because of the cars greenhouse wheels are hard to pull off on the 235.

E90M3JETS · 01-20-2015, 06:53 AM

Looks good. Give me a GC and I will buy one.

GOLFFRR · 01-20-2015, 07:52 AM

looks awesome!! very well done

bradleyland · 01-20-2015, 08:25 AM

That looks so damn goood.

DeeKay · 01-20-2015, 08:42 AM

Perfect, perfect, perfect! I would stop here and just enjoy this beauty! Damn...

Leo you miss the E92 M3 when driving the M235i? Besides the sound maybe?

And by more practical did you mean fuel consumption or? The space in the back and trunk of the E92 is better isn't it?

TheBingoBalls · 01-20-2015, 08:43 AM

The 2-Series is a pretty decent looking car when the right parts are used. With that said, I feel like the 2-Series could be a LCI-update away from being good looking to great looking.
