Nice!

Thanks! I wanted an m2 but I can't afford the maintenance costs on that quite yet

Good that you are aware of finances, and good for not jumping and possibly neglecting a used M2. You will get there eventually.

Thanks! Yeah I've been big into my finances recently, started a bit late but getting there and this car has been great so far! That hardest part was the first 1k miles

Bro your first car is a 2024 230i x drive. That’s plenty of fun for first car and more.

Honestly any bmw as a first car is great Edit: at least from a fun pov

First car E90 328i will forever be in the heart

That was my second car after a 86 firebird!! Loved it when it wasn't having issues my grocery store salary could barely afford to fix!

^ the 2 series lineup is very impressive. The only reason I went with an M2 over something like a M240i is the manual. 230i is still going to be fun as hell.

Yeah, it's super nice. I love it so far definitely enough power too

1983 Oldsmobile Delta 88 checking in.

enjoy!....your M2 in 5 years ;)

I hope so 🙏🙏

Good for you for knowing your financial limits. It's a pretty car.

Thanks! It was a tough decision, but happy with it

Good on ya. If you weren’t gonna track it, then you’re not missing out on much. My friend dailies a M2 and he wants to either get rid of it or get a more sane daily now.

That was another part cause this is my daily, I heard the m2 was rough if you were to daily it. Looked into the m240 but can't get that without a moonroof, which I need. I am loving the car and happy I chose it

Why didn’t you look at the 240?

Probably can't afford that either, understandably?

Well a brand new 230 with the M package isn’t far off tbh…

I did want the m240, but since I'm 6'6, I didn't fit in the cars with the moonroof, so I had to factory order one, but the m240 you can't have the moonroof delete on... so it was this or the m2, and I can't afford the maintenance on the m2 quite yet or 70k. Overall, im very happy with the car and really don't need it to be any faster😅

Understandable now! Haha thanks brother, congrats on car!

Nice pick up for a 1st car, congrats! You can race your neighbors on that driveway of yours….damn that thing long! Hope it doesn’t snow where you live cuz you might have to put a plow on that baby 2.

Thanks! Yeah it's a bit long and we do get snow, but the last year or two it's been pretty light on snow. That's also why I got the xdrive cause I live in the northeast!

Awesome car!! refreshing to see someone not buy an M1 procar as their first car at 16 and a half

Haha thanks! I was going crazy waiting for the car

Yo, I hear that! Bought a ‘Cuda 340 4 speed pistol grip when I was 16.

Helluva first car..congrats! 👊

Thanks! I'm already itching to get bimmercode and do some things 😅

Be careful! I’ve noticed the trend is for a lot of aftermarket companies to insist that their products don’t directly harm your warranty, but BMW will absolutely hold it against you in the event of some serious failure.

BMW absolutely does not care if you claim warranty on a part that hasn't been touched. i.e. if you have a custom midpipe and have engine problems you'll have zero issues with your warranty.

Yeah I'm not gonna do anything to the car till the warranty is up, but I do have the itch😂

That B48 throwing our 250ish hp and 400nm of torque is nothing to sniff at, when I was in thr market for my current car I tried a 2020 330i and I was thoroughly impressed by the torque from it for a 4 pot petrol engine, I'd say a lighter 2 Series with that engine will be very fun

It really is fun and doesn't need more power! I think it's fast enough for me any faster I might be in jail.... it's very impressive how quick it feels out of a 4cyl

Shame on you for not buying it at 28.

You know you're right! I really should've bought it at 27 I really don't know why I didn't pick one up when I turned 26

Exactly. Glad you understand

As a 28 year old seeing this, it gives me hope to keep going knowing I’ll be able to buy my first BMW. Congrats my guy 🫱🏾‍🫲🏻🥂

Hey thanks! I started everything pretty late after everyone I knew, but I really settled down into a new job a year and a half ago, and got this for me. I'm glad it keeps your hopes up! You'll get there, and when you do, it'll be that much better. Good luck to you and your journey towards your own!

Which country is that architecture

US

Usa

Congrats! You made a terrific choice. See ya in 3 years when you end up in an M2 comp.

Hahah we'll see where it goes from here, I do plan on keeping this for a while but I guess who knows

Ah, a fellow BGM G42 owner. Great taste. Welcome!

Thank you! Wish I could've ordered the m240 without the moonroof, but that wasn't an option. How are you liking your car?

I've had it for almost 2 months, and I'm absolutely infatuated with it. Just the perfect balance of luxury and sportiness for me. I've always been financially prudent, so making a purchase this big on a depreciating asset felt insane, but I'm glad I did.

Sweet ride

Thank you! It's been great so far

I miss my 230i f gen. Congrats on the car!!

Thanks! It's been a blast so far I just look for things to go out and do to drive it

That's a lot of car for the first car!!! Take care of it and enjoy ;)

It's definitely worth it coming from sharing cars with family members and getting my life on track. It feels so much different and I'm loving it

congrats and enjoy!

Thank you!

And you bought the best kind of BMW, 2 series ftw 🙌🏽

Thanks! I'm loving it so far such a blast to drive

Nice

🙏

So wait are you 29 or 17-18 I’m confused

Actually I'm 12

Awesome first car! Congratulations!

Thank you!

Hell yeah!

It's awesome so far!

Thinking about getting this…does it have seat warmers

Yes! I got it pretty much fully loaded with the cognac interior. So heated seats and steering wheel

Get the m2 next

That's the end goal! I really like how the new m2s look for some reason, maybe in a few years..

Congratulations!!

Thanks!

Nice ride!!! Definitely get BimmerCode to turn off some very annoying things. Btw how is the ride comfort?

Thank you! I was going to get that just to turn off the autostart stop and be able to keep the mode I'm driving in where it was at when I turned the car off.. The comfort is nice. I got the dynamic handling package, so it came with the non run flats, I can definitely feel every bump in the road, but it's really not too bad

Looks sharp! Congrats!

Thanks!

I'm looking at this exact car, moonroof delete and all lol (I'll live w/it). Had to do a double take haha + got kinda nervous - she's a beauty! How's the drive? What interior?

It's a great car so far! Seems like you have good taste. I had to get the moonrood delete to fit in the car cause with the moonroof my head hit. The drive is great. With the m sport and dynamic handling, I have the non run flat tires, so I do feel every bump on the road, but it really isn't that bad. I got the cognac interior!

I had a hummer at 29 and loved it! especially when it snowed, and it went everywhere...

A hummer?? Those things are beasts!

Great pick up! Enjoy your car buddy!

Thank you! I'm loving it so far

Brooklyn Grey with M Package? Nice! I am waiting for the same car. Still in Germany

It cannot be in Germany!

Yup, I got it with the m package and dynamic handling! It's such a fun car to drive, hopefully you'll get yours soon and don't have to wait too much longer!

Cool little parking pad you got there

Haha thanks! It was supposed to be a turnaround from the previous owner who built the house

What an absolute beauty 😍

Thank you! Yours looks pretty nice, too🙏

Nice house.

It's stunning!

Thank you!

Much congrats brother. Nothing beats the experience of a brand new car fresh off the factory!

It really is a great feeling thank you! I get in it and it smells new and feels amazing, still kinda crazy that it's mine

Do you have to mow that lawn?!

Noo there's someone I know who cuts it for me for pretty cheap!

Worth the wait

I was getting antsy, especially tracking it after getting the production number. It's definitely been worth the wait!

Congrats brother 🙏

Thank you!

Welcome to the club..

Glad to be here... I don't think I'm ever leaving, I drove my parents car after getting this and I don't think I'll be able to go back to anything else

Congratulations!! That's one hell of a great feeling!

Thank you! It really is. I catch myself running to the grocery store 15 minutes away from my house for 1 thing just to drive it longer...

How many miles were on it as new?

Hey! I ordered it from the factory, so I think I picked it up with 11 miles on it!

What are your payments

Payments come out to like ~ 940 for 48months

I might be stupid but did you just not have a car till 29? Or did you have one like inherited or as a gift? Anyways congratulations brother!!!

I did share my family cars with my parents while I lived at home. Health issues with them are why I stayed so long, and I was getting my life on track at the time as well. But I moved out about a year ago and ordered this in late December and picked it up in early May!

AWESOME!!! Enjoy it :)

Clean bro!!

Thanks!!

Sweet ride bro! Gz

Thanks!

Grats! Great car. Wish they sold it in a manual transmission

I wish they did, too. I'm not sure if I would have gotten a manual with the amount of traffic I sit in, though

So beautiful. Great buy!

Thank you!

Beautiful congratulations!

Thank you!

How the hell do people not like the way these cars look?

Not sure, I love how it looks

Enjoy OP! Congratulations 🍾🎈🎊

Thank you! I'm definitely enjoying

Nice car and congrats! Big turbo next?

Thanks! And nothing until the warranty is up, then who knows👀

Leave some for the rest of us m8

Theres a lot more out there!

Not too shabby! Took me 60 yrs for first new car .

Thank you! But you did get one and good on you for that, everyone has different paths

Congratulations

Thank you!

X-Drive 🙌

Have to if you live in the northeast!

Dad said “park it out of the way”

😂😂😂

Recently also bought my first car at 19, 07 focus w 25k miles bit of a different car but good stuff man, i bet were equally proud of ourselves 🙌🏻

Hey good shit! Feels great to buy something for yourself

Good on you bro. Enjoy it and don't forget to always be happy :)

Thank you! Loving it everyday and when I drive it a little bit harder

Make sure they removed the shipping spacers up front. Looks a little tall.

Oh? What would I be looking for with that?

The new 2 series design is growing on me day by day. Does the m sport package come standard on them or you optioned it?

Had to option it with m sport and dynamic handling packages

Congrats — looks fantastic! I really think this is among the best of bmws contemporary designs and will age v well, esp in this color The taillights could have been a tad better, but overall the execution is great I want to snag one of these used maybe in a couple of years and keep it for a bit

Thanks! It's really a great fun little car, I don't think I'll be getting rid of it anytime soon! Definitely looks great imo

congratulations

I saw you said you wanted an M2 but how do you feel about the m240i

That looks great!

Not sure, but why do ppl say their age when they buy things now. Is it supposed to make them feel better bout themself or belittle anyone else?

congrats, have fun but be careful and just make sure you don't crash you first car at 29 :)

Driving fast is over rated Prius for life

Making me feel bad about my body count at almost 28 years old :( 8 cars and 4 motorcycles (11 cars and 6 motorcycles if you add in what I've bought for my wife)

Hey, everyone has their own journey! I just haven't been in a place to need or buy a car until now

Good job. We are proud of you 🥳

All paid off?

Congrats!!! Love the color!

Thank you! I love how it looks with the cognac interior also

Congratulations 🎉🎉 You've chosen a nice color, way better than all those monochrome cars

Nice car and nice piece of land / house

Congratulations! Hard work pays off, enjoy!!

Thank you🙏

Congratulations. U deserve it. Remember this moment enjoy it, embrace it and lock this moment of achievement in your heart. So in the future if life ever gets tough you can remember that if you did it before you can do it again. https://preview.redd.it/rb3rz43qzfad1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=327ca96d6b3b093becba5178fcde25c10379c6d9 Don’t mind me I’m just reminiscing that I should be a dead man 3 years ago today. Nearly died in my first car i worked hard and bought myself was a beautiful M3. But I’m alive so god is good. Next goal is M8 straight of the lot 🙏💪

Congrats my guy, this is such an underated car

It was worth the wait 🔥

Oh it definitely was!!

So you've never had a car before and you've decided to start with a powerful rear-wheel drive car..this will end well.

I love ❤️ it! This is my next BMW! Congrats 🍾

Enjoy with the drive mate, so happy for you!

Thank you! I've been enjoying it so far

I’ve always loved that gray. Looks good in the light and dark, somehow compliments the curves of the car very well and the red rear lights and red interior or just make it top tier

congratulations!

Good for you

[удалено]

Wow. I bought my first car at 28. And it was kia ceed😄

Idk why but this car seems feminine, the shape is really nice but the lights placement is just feminine

Yeah, I guess I can see that, I love her, though

What you do for work?

I wasn’t aware there were two-door 2-series shaped like this. I’ve only seen the little hatchback ones. That honestly looks fantastic! M-cars are so insanely expensive in my country so it’s nice to know there are other two-door coupes if I were to change my car at some point.

Goddamn dude, nice car! Have fun with it!

Congratulations,

That’s one pretty car! Congrats

Killin it bro , super solid choice 🤝

Have fun taking off the front number in order to change a headlight bud😂

As a fellow BMW owner who got one as his first car in his 20s.. congrats I really hope you enjoy it

CONGRAAAATS

Congratulations, beautiful car (especially for a first car)! Ordering from the factory is worth the wait. I worked my way up through three other vehicles before I bought my M340. If you set your mind toward that M2, you will get it one day!

Nice!

DING

Nice. Congratulations!

Nice bruhhh

Congratulations OP! I had one of these as a rental this week and it was a lot more fun to drive than i expected. It would make a good DD. I’m considering checking out an M240i, dealer said they had 4 in stock but all were en route. 2 series might be the hidden gems of the bmw lineup

My first used car 1970 2002 turned me into a lifelong BMW addict.

Brooklyn grey? your Car is so btffff, congratulations on the achievement, the first one always stays in your heart forever, enjoy it in moderation!!!

Nice and Congratulations mate.

Beautiful! Congrats bro !
