Interesting build ! What mods did you do on your 230i? Did you do everything on your own?
Any pictures of the interior? It could be interesting to see a video!

I've only seen that spoiler done on the recent AUTOID M2 they just build. I was wondering how it'd look on the M240i and I like it. Also, I was curious what bronze rims would look like on a black M240i and you solved that question as well.

Idrive 8 Aftermarket Carbon interior trim
https://carbonheld.com/products/for-...l-carbon-fiber
This is the website I got my Carbon trim from, it was a simple and straight forward install! This websites sell Idrive 8 trims, was pretty hard to find, but I'd rate the quality 9/10, the centre piece wasn't a 100% fit but you could barely tell so I would still recommend this product! |

Love it! Mods look great........except perhaps having 2 rear spoilers. It should be one or the other for me - defo a case of less is more. The high level spoiler looks awesome.
Enjoy! |

P.S. I'm eying a 230ixDrive my dealer has as an in between car while my gets built. Seeing how far you have taken yours, almost makes me wonder if I should just build out a 240i instead of waiting for the M2.

That's fantastic! I love the 230i! Light, handles well, lots of power! Wish it came with a 6MT!
I think the 230 is the heir to the wonderful e30 and e36 325s and 328s that we all drove growing up. Really great driving cars. Congratulations!!!! Last edited by M2PDX; 09-06-2023 at 10:51 AM.. |

Love the color combo. It’s a classic pairing and pulled off well.
