This post makes zero sense, at least for me. I like my cars fully loaded.

KIA Stinger GT2 = $56,320
BMW M240i xDrive = $58,650

That's a difference of $2,330.

Dunno but won't be missing it. I don't know why but BMWs lumbar adjustment is so hit and miss. For super long trips I use my secretlab lumbar cushion. It's amazing.

good question as I was wondering that too. seems odd in such a sporty car with these types of seats not to have adjustable side bolsters. my wife loves them on my current M240i, mainly due to the way I drive! lol

Increased incentive to move to the optional seats.

Either go monochromatic with Melbourne Red Metallic on Tacora Red; or classic hotness with Black Sapphire Metallic on Tacora Red.

Configurator shows the blue contrast stitching only on the seats and not carrying over to the doors. I wonder if it'll be like that in real life.

A lot of things in Australia are a rip off. Government rips people off with rip off taxes that they have in place.

Red on red will be my build but I gotta wait to see one in the flesh first to see if I really love it. It’s gotta be good to get me out of my wife’s M140i.....

Then WTF don't they offer cognac vernasca in the US? I looks like every country in the world gets cognac vernasca except the US.

I didn't respond to that post because I figured there must be something I'm missing or not understanding.

Even if you only got the GT1 Stinger you can get a lightly optioned M240 for just a few thousand more than the Kia, which is certainly much faster than the Kia, probably drives better and certainly gets much better MPG too.

I am in USA in S. Carolina..

I looking at Blue 230i model with M Sports, Premium, Extended Shadowline, Aluminum interior trim & HK Stereo. Pricing very similar to my former 2018 230i with similar options but less available technology & safety features.

Also, the auto only option is not a show stopper for me; we also own 2008 Mustang GT Calif Special/Vert with 5 speed manual. Plus the BMW you can manually shift with gear shift or paddle shifters so its a semi-manual anyway which I did use a lot on my 2018

[mblaucoupe135]

I'm thinking of going with the superman combo on the m240i, i.e. Portamio blue with red interior. what do you all think?

[yanks1]

I put in order and deposit yesterday on 230i.. took a leap of faith I guess without seeing or driving car in person

Blue with Canberra interior, M Sports & Premium Pkg plus Shadowline with Blue painted calipers & HK Audio. Also 19' 797m Bi-color wheels which look great. Dealer has no custom build allocations yet but expects to see some soon.. we shall see

Good for you, going to be one of the first. I agree the 797m look fantastic. I love split 5-spoke design and was happy to see that's pretty much all BMW gave us for options on the new 2.

Ordered a M240 black sapphire with black interior. Included technology pack, pro pack, adaptive suspension, m technology pack & heated steering wheel. Delivery estimate early 2022 in U.K.
