My concerns w/. M235i were

1. Steering feedback: it was precise and to-the-point but NO feedback like E92 M3. - does having the right wheel/tire like yours improve the steering feedback significantly?
2. No special colors: I think I can live w/ BSM after looking yours.

Pros: exhaust burp in stock. awesome! How much was the 'Autoplus diffuser' and how did you order it? Please post some videos of exhaust kicks,.

sorry for too many questions. I am planning to submit an order today to get year-end incentives.

Hi! To answer a few of your questions:
1) I think whether the moonroof agressive or not is very subjective. I had no choice cuz it came with the stock, but i had enjoyed it so far!
2) To be honest, i am not a expert in driving so for the 'feel' of steering feedback, i feel it's very similar to stock. Sorry couldn't help much here.
3) I contacted Autoplus via facebook and they directed me to a local dealer locally for ordering. the diffuser with painted and shipping costed me 900 USD.

Hi! I actually redid it just few days ago and replaced the H&R spring with Bilstein PSS10 suspension. I believe if just the spring, it doesn't affect the M Adaptive suspension - but i am not an expert, better check with your garage to confirm!

The wheels are nothing fancy - just some local Taiwanese rims forging the Adv8.1 style. Sorry i don't have the exact brand name!

Question, why is it badged as M235i and not just called an M2? It makes no sense to me.

LDSM · 01-02-2015, 05:04 AM

The 2 Series looks great in black!

Because an m2 will be released next year, BMW is using the m235i as a stepping stone to start releasing there M Performance models.

The diffuser and better wheels transform the car in such a positive way...

Very nice. Makes me regret my color choice now

IM2C · 01-11-2015, 03:45 AM

Damn! Just when I thought I was out, you pulled me back in.
I had 3 black BMWs, including current one. Was on the fence between Melbourne Red and Mineral Grey.
I guess it's black again for me. It's a bitch to keep clean, but it's so badass!
