New daily

M235i

I'm really digging it so far. Replaced the Frontier. I was going to get a big truck, because I prefer a pickup to the SUV for hauling track stuff, but I realized I would use the truck to tow about 10-15 weekends per year and still have to drive it to work every day. I'd much rather keep using the Cayenne for towing and drive something fun every day.

Very Fresh!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

So are you going to give us a review or are you just going to show it off to us?

Mike · 08-09-2014, 07:50 PM

I've only driven it home from the dealership. Need to live with it for a bit, but its really quick. Its an auto, as I will be doing a lot of rush hour driving.

The only thing I don't really care for is the auto shut off of the engine while stopped, but that has an override switch and unlike vdc, it stays off until you reengage it, even after shutting the car down and restarting.

Cosmetic changes are coming though.

Too cute, love the crisp white! Just left the bmw lot today, guy had his m4 sedan shipped here. It was gorgeous. I took alot if pics, we have no m4 sedans in my city yet so I was too excited to see one in person.

rofl. 24 hours = mods

i just saw one of these new 2series the other day and thought it was a 1 series at first then noticed it was a little bigger. i'm curious to see the type of numbers it can put down. looks like a fun little car.

Nice car, can't wait for the review. My girlfriend had to take her 328i in for service and got a new 2014 328i as the loaner. That auto shut off is definitely annoying. Even riding as a passenger I hated it and had her turn it off.

Mike · 08-11-2014, 08:59 PM

did cf overlays on the blue part of the bmw badges today and powdercoated the wheels. calipers will be finished up tomorrow

Mike · 08-12-2014, 08:05 PM

Gloss black wheels and green calipers. Wanted something different.

I like the new 2's. Thought hard about trading Z for one but I would regret not being able to keep Z.
