Funny I bought a 230i almost for the exact same reason. Car is okay in stock form, I was already smoking RTs, and WRXs. Throw one a JB4 and running dead even with GR Corolla, a car with more hp and less weight. The b48 has so much overhead potential that it is perfectly fine as long as you aren’t trying to set fast quarter mile times. For a daily a lightly modified 230i is an amazing daily. So far I’ve done lowering springs, JB4, intake and exhaust and my car is more than enough for public roads. I’ve won a few autocross trophies so the handling is amazing as well. I’m glad I spent a little extra and decided to not buy a GR86. I think if someone is considering an Elantra N, 2.0 Supra, Civic Type R, or even a Mustang then they need to look at a 230i
Although I just bought at 2018 230i and not a 2024, you are right. It is way faster than I thought it would be, and for about $1000 (down pipe and tune) I can get another 50-70hp too if I want. So, instead of paying 10k more for a 240 of the same year, I can pay 1k and have a car that makes the same power, but it also 200 pounds lighter. So I have lighter, faster, and cheaper car. 230s are great deals, new or used.
I totally agree with your points and its the reason injust grabbed a 2022 g42 230i. Same as yours butnthe redish color. The interior is amazing....plenty of power for the streets. I would.like to uograde the suspension though ...ita a bit too soft. But its a killer platform to mod.
The higher stage tune you go, the less reliable ur making the car. I have a m235i and since i got it in 2015 ive put mhd stage 1 tune with netal charge pipe and thats it, its plenty fast like that and 59k miles so far on it and no problems. No point going higher, ita already very fast.
@@SiggyB46 Like 4k in taxes. I have a 2023 that I purchased in Nov of 2022. I negotiated and locked in the OTD price and then paid cash for the car. They threw in extra years of warranty free because I was hesitant on purchasing the car.
I got bought the 230i. For people that have not noticed, this car is the old 3 series with a few upgrades. Still way to heavy and ride I feel is to hard!
@@ericxls93 You need to get rid of the run flat tires they’re horrible. I replaced mine with pilot sport 4 non-runflats and the ride quality and grip are WAY better. You don’t get any of those sharp uncomfortable bumps anymore the roads are just smoother.
so you bought a car that can be as good as another bmw by way cheaper and can even lower the chance of getting a ticket or a noise complain? smart choise

I really like ya car. I think its lowkey better looking than a M240i to me.
How does it look better than the m240?

Thats insane you got fuckin robbed, i got my 23 M240i out the door for 53k with a trade in tax break.
