Hi! This is my new 230i.
Upgraded from a 2016 328i.
Loving the car and the forum!

Thanks!!

Looks Great! Beautiful shot, Congratulations on the new ride.

Congrats chief, looks great.

Straight out into the elements! Nicely played.
Enjoy the new ride.

Matches the snow!

redcars · 02-01-2025, 07:30 PM

Let's see the inside!

Besbro · 02-01-2025, 10:28 PM

Here are a couple of the inside. I have to take some more pics! Loving the red leather!!!

Besbro · 02-02-2025, 06:42 PM

And really love this cockpit!!!

J-RO · 02-04-2025, 01:00 PM

I assume this is a 2024 model since it has Idrive 8. Correct?

Besbro · 02-04-2025, 08:02 PM

Yes. It is a 2024.

wb8164 · 02-04-2025, 08:36 PM

Nice color combination.

rad_thundercat · 02-13-2025, 11:41 PM

I went from a 2016 328i to 230i as well!

Besbro · 02-14-2025, 10:59 AM

I am super happy and surprised by how much better the 230i handles compared to my 328i.
Love the blue!!

rad_thundercat · 02-14-2025, 08:47 PM

For sure, the back end breaks out a lot easier when you want it to than the 328i, way more spirited.

White has always been my #1 pick for cars, but I’ve been digging the blue. In that pic above the car is filthy but that Portimao blue just pushes through it!

Edit; what seat option are those?

Besbro · 02-15-2025, 12:31 PM

The seats are Tacora Red Vernasca Leather with contrast stitching.

The blue is very nice!!! Does not look dirty at all!
