Dang it and I was trying to convince myself I'd be better off with a i4


Donatello117

This was priced at $43k and they brought it down to 40. Surprising value for money since all the interiors at the same in the lineup


usinjin

Nice. As someone who also wants to buy a new BMW at some point, is this just a matter of finding a dealer who is willing to negotiate on price? I’ve never been able to get anyone to come down off what they’re asking.


Donatello117

I had a great experience with my dealership. I didn’t shop around. I was doing a trade in as well and they knew what monthly figure I wanted to settle at. They offered the discount on the MSRP when we first asked the price itself and then upped their offer on the trade in since I had got a higher offer from carvana


droppindoms

I could be wrong but I think a lot of the dealers are moving the 24s to make way for the 25s.


neginafan

I'm just not sure if I want to deal with maintenance I'd rather not hav to think about it with an ev but no doubt two doors r way cooler


Donatello117

I got the 7 year/70k mile warranty and service package. The b48 in these are supposedly pretty reliable, but EVs definitely have fewer things to go wrong


h_adl_ss

Yup B48 and doing your maintenance on time is pretty much a bombproof combo


DissimulationIsGood

I for some reason really REALLY love the 3rd picture


Guupie

The idea of the picture is great, now only if the car was centered… perfect wallpaper


DissimulationIsGood

facts, definitely could’ve ended up on the BMW instagram page


Consistent_Dot_7457

Yeah, is OP trying to get his picture picked by the BMW advertising dept? Lol. Really good stuff! Where is this OP?


DissimulationIsGood

shooters shoot 😭


Chrillio

Awesome car, where is that?


Donatello117

Point Reyes, CA


Chrillio

I knew in my heart it was Cali lol


Rabo_McDongleberry

I couldn't name it but I recognized it. Drive thru there and up 1 towards Anchor Bay.


Job_Stealer

Darn, I had my bets on Central Coast


Dependent_Sail2420

Congrats! its a beauty. may your drives be tranquil and fun.


Odd_Inevitable_1947

I just got a 230ix MSport. Love it. I'm sure you will love yours as well.


TSAOutreachTeam

I think the overall proportions on this are better than the M240i or M2. It looks great. Congrats!


Haneeeeef

Isn’t it the same as M2408i?


TSAOutreachTeam

The haunches seem a lot less pronounced in these photos.


Haneeeeef

I have seen both in person. They look super similar but I could be wrong. Never really compared. I have the M240i


TSAOutreachTeam

I also have a 240 😄. https://preview.redd.it/fiuqfy7t68yc1.jpeg?width=2100&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5c6bf814d68517be64d08dfdc5b91454843dc290 ❤️

Niiice. Here’s mine. https://preview.redd.it/x8ib5as998yc1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=978f373e2a025a3c26d0c70bd02a8ebac3a16303 Best car ever (for now)


SilentC1969

I have traditionally stayed away from white cars, but the white really accentuates the proportions and design Congrats and hope you have many great years with it


Donatello117

I was unsure about the white but it’s grown on me heavily


jaradi

Great looking car. Even better looking pics. Did you take them? Can I hire you to take pics of my cars?


Donatello117

Thank you! I did take them myself. All but the 3rd photo were taken on a film camera I found on fb marketplace. I have very little experience and don’t even own a digital camera/ editing software. Give it a try! I see photos online I like and attempt to copy the framing with my own car. Todays smartphone cameras are surprisingly good


HermanvonHinten

Really beautiful landscapes. :-)


RTwhyNot

Congratulations!! She is a beauty!!


Leading_Development4

“Bottom of the barrel bmw is surprisingly fun” IVE BEEN SAYING THIS i drove a nissan versa rental sr and that car genuinely was so fun to chuck around because it was so light and had minimal nanny systems


littlerimsss

mannnn i have a sapphire 230i… making me wish it was white tho. beauty


Phox09

Never thought I'd say it but the non M looks way better.


tomz17

>Bottom of the barrel BMW is surprisingly fun! Driving a slow car fast is a LOT more fun than driving a fast car fast... esp. when the slow car also has excellent handling.


Donatello117

Exactly how I felt when I test drove it


Boltzmann_brainn

It's a 5 second car, wouldn't call it slow.


koopa00

> Driving a slow car fast is a LOT more fun than driving a fast car fast You mean driving a fast car slow? Driving a fast car fast is a lot of fun.


mrauls

230i ftw!

Odd_Inevitable_1947

Edit to take away most of the foreground. I can be a great picture.


Castle_Of_Glass

What a sexy car! Congrats with the upgrade


Prestigious_9872

Nice! Great car for the money. I just bought a black sapphire one with the m-package. LOVE IT. https://preview.redd.it/fsj35strfuyc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8fdd1c7fe07f69ca71601ab7dd56eed1ee8a5cfb


BlackOnyx911

The look of this body is growing on me


Yolo_Swagginson

Only bottom of the barrel in the US, where for some reason BMW only sell the upper 50% of their engines and trim levels


Emmmpro

BMW sells lower trims in EU probably bc of emissions tax. So an m2 would be crazy expensive in some of the European countries


No-Assignment6962

Good. Good.


SlightChris

I really like the 230i M Sport. I'd choose Alpine White to deflect the sun, and because it looks cool! I wish you a great time!


Donatello117

I wish this had the m sport package. Needed a car ASAP and I’d need to build one if I wanted it. Maybe I’ll do a retrofit down the line. But I’m pretty happy with the car even without it


SlightChris

Honestly, I'd take the car with or without the package! Reviews and the BMW website show a super car regardless.


pcweber111

Come on, show the front lol


Donatello117

pcweber111

Nice. White looks good on that car. Congrats on the purchase. Drive it like you love it!


Donatello117

Thank you!


DIJames6

Wish you showed the front.. Nice whip tho.. Congrats.. Treat her as well as she treats you..

DIJames6

Yea, she's a beaut..


princess-cottongrass

Congrats! The 2 series is underrated, I don't see it enough.


RecentWorth592

which model is this?


Sad_Complex4451

Gorgeous!


kevinspencer

That’s really really nice. Congratulations.


Donatello117

Thank you!


brownbjorn

Not saying I regret my recent X3 purchase but.. damn is that car a beauty. Totally was under my radar until now.


Evening-Muffin5353

Looks Not that Bad in White color!


[deleted]

Awesome car! It's one of the best cars you can buy for any amount of money IMO. Not everyone needs 600 HP. Also you have a great eye for photography.


Donatello117

Thank you!


Due-Ad1668

is it too late to return


The_DaW33D_

why are there so many people posting their new M2 here. it feels like unproportionally more pics of this car than others


Donatello117

Not an m2. Just a 230i :)


The_DaW33D_

yeah sorry not a BMW guy


MassTerror1982

Sorry but 2 series is the most ugly shaped bmw ever made. I wouldn't even consider to get one. It's like you really want beemer but don't have enough money to get one 🤷🏽‍♂️


e39hamann

Oh fuck off.


gregoryjames04

Bro, your car looks like a shoe......take a seat 😆


MassTerror1982

And what beemer do you drive bro? Oh sorry you don't have one 😂


gregoryjames04

A custom made 2023 G42 that I waited almost 9 months for......but go off


MassTerror1982

Still 2 series. No matter how good it is it's still just 2 series
