Saw 2 230/M240i last night near the nashua border

beamer-dreamer · 07-15-2022, 10:20 AM

I was pleasantly surprised to see cars that looked like mine... really hadn't seen any in the wild, so it was really cool to see 2 last night.. I mean i don't want them to be as common like a honda civic or something, but it had been weird to never see one before

steelatx · 07-15-2022, 01:45 PM

I have seen all of one m240i in the last 6 months in the wild. We are a rare breed

I've seen two on 360. Brooklyn Grey a couple months ago and Portimao Blue a few days ago

Hopefully there'll be another one by the end of this year or early next year! I am about to place an order tomorrow.

I've had my 230I for 7 months here in Dallas, and I have only seen one the whole time.

I can honestly say I have never seen a M240 within 100 miles of my home in Michigan. Anyone say they have one from Great Lake State ?

There was an alpine white m240 behind me at Starbucks this morning, taunting me lol. I've also seen a thundernight and portimao blue one around but those are all customers of ours so i'm not sure if it counts as an official sighting. A dealership down the street from ours has a portimao blue one for sale, no premium package and no parking assistance package, no cooling and high performance tire package, and they want $67k for it

I've only ever seen two on the roads and I'm in the metro Detroit area. I'll wave if I ever see ya on the road!

Lenny33 · 07-16-2022, 12:48 PM

Waiting for my 23 from Tulley Nashua. Hope it will only be a couple of months and then I can add to the collection

CarsAndGuitars · 07-17-2022, 01:14 PM

Just saw a white 230 in a local parking lot. First G42 I've seen since my test drive in March.

yanks1 · 07-17-2022, 01:21 PM

I am in coastal S. Carolina; have not seen one since picking my car up Feb-2022

Jonesymx29 · 07-18-2022, 07:49 AM

I had a friend send me a snap of a BG 240i while he was stopped in gridlock traffic, I believe he was outside of DC?

He's an OTR trucker and he said he's only seen that one and one other in MR in his travels. Rare indeed!

I've not seen one at all, but at the same time I've managed to spot a Volvo C30 Polestar and a Jag XF wagon... Rare indeed lol

beamer-dreamer · 07-18-2022, 10:42 AM

I'm trying to do my part by getting out and driving as much as possible.. but it's annoying i only get out 2 or 3 times a week...

There’s one that parks behind my office a few days a week that I have to walk by on the way to lunch as I wait for my allocation

It’s a Brooklyn Grey beaut. Only one I’ve ever seen in Metro Det though

When mine arrives there will be two BGM then.

When are you expecting yours?

Hah! I’m in line at the Ann Arbor dealership… hopefully I’ll have an October build. What dealer did you get yours through? There’s a line at all of ‘em I think, just not sure which is going to go the fastest. I think Farmington Hills is the largest.

I ordered mine through BMW Rochester Hills. Got on the list towards the end of March and finally ordered beginning of June. My build week was last week but so far have no more updates.

Never seen one in Chicago yet... crazy as it's such a large city.

I'll make sure to post some updates when the car arrives but I'll be a little later as I plan on doing PCD.

CarsAndGuitars · 07-24-2022, 04:27 PM

I saw a Portimao M240 (same as I am getting!) yesterday, not far from my dealership.

Today I saw a white 230 for sale at local Mazda dealer.

I only saw one gray 230i so far.
