    I have owned an M235i for 3 months now, fully loaded. It's 4.8 going 0-60 on the rear wheel version with auto not 4.6. In the UK the limited top speed is 155 not 130. It's got to be 9/10 of an M2 but you can pick one up for half the price if you get one six months old. Absolutely incredible car and so so fast.

      Book times for the M235i auto non x-drive are 4.8 0-62 (0-100kph), 4.6 for 0-60. These times decrease by 2 sec for the M240I.

      Do you still have it or did you unload it.? If so what was your take on buying a pre-owned one with 60k miles on it. Car still looks damn good, a little flashy in that electric blue paint but definitely a sweet little BMW. I never thought I’d even think about grabbing a BMW mostly because I can’t work on them myself. I am just curious about how much $ you had to put into it.

    I juts purchased a 2016 BMW M235i with 31,000 miles. Lemme tell you something, everybody that looks at it, gives me eyes that say a few things:
    1: I wish my car was that incredible.
    2: Police be like “That’s not a drug dealer, that’s a successful man”.
    3. I thought I could drive faster and better, but sadly I cannot.
    4:Who is that guy to have such an amazing vehicle.
    5: I wish my car was that incredible looking.

    3:33.....Top speed is only limited to 130 mph if purchased with all season tires. If purchased with summer tires, as the majority of non X-Drive cars are, then the limiter is raised to 155 mph.

    Awesome car, I like the sound and the dark chrome design at the mirrors, exhaust and rims! Sounds like really a lot of power and performance! This car is now the original 3 series size from 1975 again. The new 3 series has grown too much. I like those small agile cars from BMW!! B.t.w. APPLE does have dealerships for ANY brand in PA, isn't it?? :D

    • @emili90110
      @emili90110 7 років тому

      I'm not saying you're wrong that's just a different way to word it it's really just one turbo. sucks double the air. definitely having just one Turbo because if you get the twin turbo setup, when you put the JB4 computer on it you get over a 100hp horsepower. with a single turbo you only get 60hp so definitely not like the twin turbo. more efficient but not very powerful compared to the twin turbo. which is very unfortunate because I have one of the last Twin Turbo 335i and I hate to get rid of it for the new work single terrible especially since I just got upgraded turbos 2 months ago

      I work at Bmw plant in greer actually :). www.bmw.com/com/en/insights/technology/efficientdynamics/phase_2/technology/engines.html
      It is 1 turbo, but the simplest way to put it is.... I gives the power of like 1 1/2 turbo's, its better than just a normal turbo, but not as good as 2 turbos

    This is not a race car feel at all. It is very sedate, although it is quick. For the money go m2 and your car's value won't fall off a cliff in 5 years. The m badges are being put on everything these days because of product recognition that ru ns very deep in consumers of all demographics. However, I fear that the m badge is losing some cred in the process. Now this video reminds me of every other younger dude and their dog that wants to get into the biz. There is way to much reading of the stats and repeating 30 year old catch phrases like 50/50 weight distribution, yes like most BMWs in the performance category, we know.

    • @steeamtrain8619
      @steeamtrain8619 6 років тому

      The m2 is gauged like hell even now. It will hold its value over time better, but now you can get a 2016 235i with 15k miles for 34k. I say thats the bulk of the depreciation, it will go down in value but for what you get now its worth it.
