Nice review. Appreciate seeing a base Sport version review. Many other reviews of the 230i are optioned up to around $47k with Msport and handling packages. You said you drive a Camaro so having your comparison input was informative. Well done!

I’ve got the base 2022 230i coupe and yes it’s a great value. The MSRP was $39,500. This ‘22 model doesn’t have the large screen but everything else is the same. It drives great and is very quick. The luxury and quality feel for this price is very surprising. Clearly it’s the best BMW value out there…as long as you go minimalist on options. I’ve checked out the M240i which looked awesome, but the dealer optioned model was $56k. I think it would be ok if you ordered it with virtually no options to get the best value at $50k.
Cool. Being in my mid 50's, buying one isn't an issue. However, actually sitting in one comfortably is my #1 concern. If the seating and shoulder room is too tight...no sale. I sat in a new Camaro and Mustang. The Camaro is terrible...like sitting in a bathtub with no visibility. The Mustang is much better...seats and outward vision is fine. However, shoulder room is really tight and small pedals. I need to sit in this 2-series and try one on for sizing.
It’ll feel a little more planted while on throttle turning and a little less punchy at higher speeds but the big difference will be during rain or snow so if you’re in colder areas, the xDrive would probably be worth it.
I heard a rumor that " you cannot currently order a 2023 230 i w/M Sport pkg car and that some of the M Sport suspension was incorporated into the standard car"....Is this just ignorant salesperson talk or is this true per BMW themselves????
i drove this car and previous generation multiple times- great car with only one minus-there is NO steering feel-its shame to BMW otherwise very very good car
6:47 you consider $37K well under $40K? Seems pretty close to $40K to me. You need to work on your salesman skills cause peeps don’t fall for bullsh_t much anymore brah ☹️

We don't even get a sport in the uk! Starts at m sport only.
Out of all german cars this is the best value, $41k as shown in the video is less than I expected.
Agreed man really tough to beat this car for the money!
yeah right the dashboard seemed to have been designed by some drunken monkeys lol. The audi a3 interior is loads better then this.
Great review! Plan on getting mine within the next few months
The best car review I seen, and I've seen a lot recently. Thanks for being someone thorough in your review
100% agreed
I just got a 2021 230i with M package. Only 10000 miles
Love it

Sounds like a sweet car man and a really great value for the money! I’d also keep the options to a minimum on both models. Good luck with the car!
@@WTFCRLT1 - Thanks!
My first BMW coupe car!! Nice review bro.
Thanks Jeremiah!🙏🏼
@@WTFCRLT1No problem.
I love this type of sunroof; less wind noise, and better appearance. Excellent review!
Thank you man, this was a great review, very helpful 👍
Great review. Many thanks
Just bought one love it!
230i is no longer available with a manual transmission... Is that correct?

Does the m Sport steering wheel feel different vs the stock one?
My dream car 😍😍😍
I'm considering ordering the 230xdrive.
What would the driving experience be compared to the rwd model?
It’ll feel a little more planted while on throttle turning and a little less punchy at higher speeds but the big difference will be during rain or snow so if you’re in colder areas, the xDrive would probably be worth it.
How do you add the m sport package or is that no longer available for the 230
Isnt the adaptive headlights part of a optional package and not standard?
I saw a comment on another video where this dude got adaptive headlights standard. BMW is weird.
Nice review!

You again?
Will this car be reliable in the long run?
Thats my question!
My opinion is if you drive it reasonably, and just keep up with maintenance it should be able to last you 10+ years
LOVE this
Is there a spare tire?
Can you do the Mercedes Benz A-class please? Thank you.
I’ll try getting one asap! 👍🏼
Can you do a review on the MDX Type S

Love the bumper in this one, the USA body and color pallet is so bad 🤦
