where is Julian Assange when you need it?

Bam226 · 10-21-2013, 04:53 PM

Ah 220i may be the way to go. Test drove a diesel 3 and it was awesome. Should be higher mpg also

Yeah I know, just going by what I drove back in the day. I thought it was quick back then, now basically every car has 300+hp. Actually the overall length and wheelbase are less than an inch longer than the E36 M3. Going by the leaked specs the other week of the M235i, the 228i unladen weight should not be too much more than the E36 M3 3,175lbs.

I just got here and the wait is killing me. Pricing should be in line with the 1 series I am hearing

The more I learn about the 228i, the more it interests me. I had an M Coupe with the S52 and it was great. It wasn't as quick as our 135i, but it was loads more fun. A 228i with an LSD and decent brakes would be very appealing.

I've only driven the N20 with that infernal 8s, not a 6s manual, but suspect it's a good fit with all three pedals.

Bam226 · 10-21-2013, 05:29 PM

That's what I'm saying. The 228 is gonna be a beast with a lot of tuning potential at what I hope a decent price point

fedorkillanenko · 10-21-2013, 06:02 PM

I hope they allow the option for the m sport package in the 228i. Anyone know if estoril blue will be available on the 228i or is it only for the m235i.

Bam226 · 10-21-2013, 06:24 PM

Don't know if they have released any photos yet. I called my local dealer and they are giving no info.

Estoril blue will be available with M Sport Package (If M Sport will be available, probably will)

Nah, he's probably already received some pictures to use, but just can't post them up until the embargo ends.

They probably do have some already - we have heard of people at dealers seeing it already. It's hard to believe no one has snuck some quick shots !

vinny84 · 10-21-2013, 08:27 PM

You guys won't be disappointed

I think we all know what it's going to look like. And I'm excited by the M-Sport.

More importantly, have you driven it!?!

Keen to compare to a E92 M3. Not sure which way to go.
