2018 BMW 2 Series

Fantastic BMW driving experience

Friday, August 04, 2017

Being my first car, its going to hard for me to get something that matches the fun of this. Its light, agile and very fun to throw around while driving. I opted for the M Sport package giving a stiffer suspension and certain styling accents, but the package makes the car what it is. Acceleration is on point, and when sport mode is enabled the suspension stiffens up and shifts are shorter, making the vehicle that much tighter. As far as the interior, standard BMW perfection. Nav system is in my opinion the best of any car brand. Only major drawback looking at everything now is that this is a two door, but you live and learn. Not sure if this applies to MY17 cars but run flat tires are standard. Now this is good if you live in SoCal or Florida, but on the East Coast, our brutal winters have forced me to replace a lot of these which is very aggravating. Not sure who at corporate decided to outfit the 2 series with standard run flats but this is very annoying. They really should consider there market before deciding which tires to make standard on vehicles. In conclusion, a fun, agile, responsive, sports coupe. One the best I will probably every own.

Second BMW I've owned, very pleased.

I bought this car brand new about 2 years ago (M235i). It is an exceptional little machine. It is the perfect mix between sport and luxury. I have never had an issue with this car and use it as my daily driver. It can be a little rough on the roads of a city (especially if the city isn't well maintained) but that is pretty much the same of any non-SUV vehicle that is close to the ground. I would recommend getting the front and rear sensor packages, the front end hangs low and it is easy to scrape it on parking bumpers or high curbs. Overall, this is a great buy for the money.

Great performance

I love this car and has been nothing but good to me so far. The M235i has more M behaviors than you’d think for the price point, as it isn’t a true M the HP is around 340 so it’s no slacker, but still isn’t a true M-monster but more of a M-poster. Overall the car is comfortable when you want it to be, and very aggressive when you feel like not caring about MPG. Accelerate in sport mode and hear the exhaust crack and the blow off valve hiss while you pass just about any non high performance car on the road. Great driving car overall and doesn’t break the bank. Not to mention the front end styling on this car is absolutely gorgeous with a nice stance as well. Definitely consider the M235i if you want a 2dr bmw that appears to be 40k used but easily found at 22k used.
