But is it faster than an RLX...?
(without upgraded tyres, because that'd be overkill)...

Of course it isn't, duh!
Nothing is faster than RLX, especially the RLX-h, best car in the wooooooooorld!

Knowing BMW a start price means no a/c, roll up windows, cardboard seats, AM/FM only, and halogen headlights

Isn't the retail price on a 435i in the low 50's??

I like the look of the 2 series.. but in reality, it's a clown car.
I have a coworker who has a 235i.. it's really tiny.

435 starts at 48k
10-13-2015, 01:52 PM
Same as Porsches, options list is murder
M4 starts at 64k, but unless you order a stripped car, all at my local dealer is 78-90k
BMW M2 priced at £44,070 in UK, limited to 500 units

assuming M2 follows the same standard equipment structure with the M3/M4.
Base MSRP $51000
standard option list:
M Sport or Equivalent
Standard M brake
N55 Tune
Standard Navi
Leather?
M suspension
Standard HK Sound
Not sure about LED (since 340 comes with standard LED now)
Not a better deal if those come standard at 51k considering a M235i is really not any cheaper.

Don't forget that dealers will be asking a crap ton for the M2. So most likely will be trading in the 65K range I imagine
Additionally there are lots of people who are "investors" and saw what the 1M market did and will be hoarding cars
2 Addicts forum has great info if you are looking to order

So in this case, no discount is actually considered a "good deal"
But yah the M2 will hold its value very well with only 500 produced.

Oh well Let's hope M2 is not a one time deal like the 1M.
For those who have not driven the M235i... it is really that good. Better than any 3/4 series in terms of driving.
I can't imagine how good it will be with more power, M tuned and lighter. But i still think it is not a good looking car. Not ugly but not good looking either, especially the rear.

About the 2016 Accord.
10-13-2015, 06:27 PM
Agree with you. Front looks great. Side is ok. Rear something about the tails that seem off.

If I got a 2016 Sport, it would be Milano Red. Too bad Sport manual now offers more than 2 colors, but EX manual doesn't.

Why did the 3 switch the 340 but the 4 hasn't switched yet? Are they are on different release cycles?

328/428 did not get the new engine either.
Next year it will be 330/430 with the new 4 cylinders. , 340/440 LCI with the new 6 cylinders. (340 is getting it now)
I think 2 and 5 series will get in there somewhere in between. 230, M240, 530, 540.
