Hi,
I’m looking to change my S3 towards the end of the year and I have been offered a good deal on a BMW M235i Gran Coupe Specs are:
Alpine White
Comfort Pack
M235i Plus Pack with 19”wheels
Tech Pack
Pan Roof
Black Pack (Black grills, Vents etc..)
I never owned a BMW before so when people say these new BMW FWD M135i and M235i cars are not proper M cars, I’m not sure what they mean by that.
Anyway I went for a test drive over the weekend, Had the car for half a day. The car does look better when you see it in person than in pictures. I do really like the front design of the car, but still unsure about the rear.
I love the interior design and the technology is far more than better than in my S3. BMW Head-up display is really impressive. Seats are good and comfortable and hold you in well and everything seem to be well built.
The Harman Kardon sound system is good enough, but I think Audi's Bang Olufsen is little better.
The big let down for me was the sound of the car. My S3 is a 2018 model and it Pop’s and bangs and as DGS farts. I know all new cars no matter what make and model are not going sound as good now because of all these EU emissions laws, but I was surprised how quiet the BMW sounded. Maybe I’m just use to my S3. Do you think the BMW will sound better when the car engine is run in?
In regards to power. The BMW felt little faster than my S3, but I’m quite happy with cars with about 300bhp that’s more than enough fast for me.
What do you guys with of the M235i? Especially the rear design?
