It might just be the sweetest model in the BMW 2 Series coupe lineup, and suddenly the middle-grade 228i is now $4500 cheaper.
Priced at $59,900 plus on-road costs, the sticker reduction from the previous $64,400 tag results in no pulling of equipment, either. Rather, the 228i actually adds a rear-view camera, internet services (for traffic, weather) and digital radio.
The M235i also comes in for a nominal $2430 price chop, now $77,500 plus on-roads, but that hefty pricing gap from the 228i is a lot to pay for the smoother six and 4.8sec 0-100km/h.
Either way, both 228i and M235i are cracking driver’s cars, particularly when optioned with the optional (expensive, at $4000 plus fitting) limited-slip differential. Each is a no-cost-option six-speed manual proposition, but most will default to the admittedly brilliant eight-speed ZF automatic with paddleshifters.
