DSB & CR 228 Sport with Track

RobTaylor · 01-17-2015, 04:24 PM

I have had this car for a bit more than a month and am loving the way it drives and the way it looks. Would not change anything about it and really encourage everyone to include Track Pack in your order as the improvements to suspension and steering are really worth it.

One more shot that missed the first load.

That's a rare color combo. You're not going to see yourself coming and going. Well done!

Actually I parked next to a Z4 that was this combo about two weeks ago in Dexter Village, but you are right, definitely rare which is so nice.

im thinking of getting DSB or midnight blue. i'm surprised there are so few cars being ordered in this color. my mom has a DSB x3, and i think its just so elegant yet still an actual color (unlike the billion black, white, silver cars you see on the road)

Very nice!

My advise: more important than color are (1) Sport or Msport for the seats, wheels and tires, & (2) Track Pack for suspension and steering. Get these and you essentially have a lighter M235.

Suspension and steering are where my 228 really shines compared to my 428 which just has standard suspension and steering.

Great color combo ! I wish the M235i had more color choices !

Good decision going with the track pack ! Like the other guy said, you now basically have an M235i with a smaller engine.

Congrats ! Enjoy !

yeah i would for sure get sport or m-sport for the suspension . i have it on my f30 and having driven a few loaners, i can't buy a bmw (or really most cars....) without the sports suspension . not sure i care as much about the track pack. but visually i have a hard time being monochrome so i admire your build
