I have had this car for one year now (since Dec 2022) and I tell you, everytime I park it, and walk away, I always do a look back at it. It's beautiful (especially from the front) and soooooo much fun to drive. I drove with it for 10 hours from my home in Netherlands to Austria and 10 hours back through the German autobahn and didn't feel a tad bit tired when I got there. It is built well. I recommend 10/10.

Glad it was helpful!

Just watched your video. It’s a great one! I’m currently in my early 30s, with a X6 (8-cylinder) and used to drive a 3-series and a 4-series sedan. I recently tested this car and fund it underrated on quite a few other tubers’ comments sections. My demands in buying the next car while leaving the x6 for my wife to drive are simple: 1) it’s a good daily car for working; 2) the exterior is not boring; 3)the AWD-like FWD is perfect for the six-months of winter in my province; 4) it’s actually fast and fun to drive; 5) some kind of fuel economy; 6) the back seat is big enough for my six-year-old son if I have to pick him up from school occasionally. I’ve tested a few including the latest M440i and M340i, and decided that I probably will order the M235i for the combined reasons I listed. But I still need to consider the price because the only one M235i in my town is fully loaded and the price is a whooping $72,000 CAD with all the packages and options. It’s really hard to make it a deal. I don’t know… I may even think myself crazy and stupid if I spend $72k CAD on a 2-series…

@BrosFOURRSpeed

Definitely considering getting this car. It’s very stylish, and is the only car that doesn’t have that ugly grille and not overly expensive. Just gotta make sure it has heated seats, rain sensing wipers, and SiriusXM. One thing is what does that Auto H button do? Is that brake hold? Wishing it had Adapted cruise control. My CR-V 2021 has that and I have it on almost always so it’s basically auto pilot.

@Camplou2

Yes the Auto H button is brake hold and it’s great. It is a latching type of button as well, so it will remain in the Auto H mode until you cancel it. Mine does not have adaptive cruise( wish it did) or the Hartman Kardon stereo( ditto), but otherwise it’s well equipped and a blast to drive

Yeah I wish this was more like that. The M2 seems be a completely different car. You'd think this was just a 4 door version. It would have been cool if they did it like the M3 and M4. Same car, just with more doors. They could have made this more sporty and cooler I think. This at least looks better then the basic 2 series gran coupe

It's similar to the Audi S3. But it's a nice chunk. Base MSRP was high 40s I believe. This had maybe $4k or so of options. And then transportation fee on top of that

Anyone know how well the 2-series gran coupe has been selling? To car enthusiasts, it must come across as a sad joke. A FWD BMW? No way, get the eff outta here. But I guess there are enough consumers out there who are satisfied with the badge?

@BrosFOURRSpeed

2 жыл бұрын

The normal 2 series gran coupe doesn't sell too well. The dealership even told me that people end up settling and buying one because they can't afford a 3 series or nicer. So it gives you that BMW name for a more affordable price, but is definitely a waste since it's way more than a normal car. The M235i tho is a nice performance car and is right on par with the Audi S3. So this probably has buyers that actually want to own it.

Hi, previous M235i GC owner here, i had a 2021 model and sold it after 7 months, 3 words WASTE OF MONEY, i will admit it's a quick little car and definetly very fun to drive, but for 52k(the sticker of mine), you could literally get so many different cars beyond this cars class, not to mention it looks so weird, every angle is bad, like literally not a single good view on this car, i got the car out of pressure from my sister, and being car-less for 2 weeks, and i just wanted a car and couldn't make up my mind, so i just took it, fit my budget and i liked how fast it was, overtime i just started getting emberassed of how it looked, and sounded,eventually i sold it , determined there were so much better cars for the price of this car 2015-16 M5, 2016-18 M2, 2015-16 M3/M4, for around 52k average with anywhere from 20-30k miles, so in the end i sold it and got an M2 6 speed , after this i plan on getting an M5 F10 or current gen we'll see lol but ya this car is a no no, it's essentially a mini cooper with a bmw badge, and it's a inline 4 cyl, not worth it😂😭
