I’m a sucker for BMWs. But in my last two car searches they have come in second. This is a great car for an entry level BMW. I wasn’t sure about the purple but when I saw the beige interior it was like “aw….nice! Thanks Brian!

I just bought a 2023 model of this car with the new gauges and large screen. I bought it as a daily/around town/road trip for two car. It’s sporty enough, seats are very comfortable, the proportions are ideal. When I want more of s sporty drive, I take out my 911 Carrera S with the manual. If I need more practicality, it’s the RS3 with the four doors. I like my new 230i very much.

Really thorough review and have to agree with Aidan Z about the extra boot space! spot on,. Most reviewers say the middle folds down, so they leave you thinking the two back seats don't. Also, I like your take on the rear and why the rear lights are designed that way. First reviewer to put a positive spin on it. Congrats.

The standard gauges on this car are so infinitely better than the Live Cockpit Pro; I sincerely wish I could option the Adaptive Headlights separate from the Premium Package on mine specifically for that reason. And they should totally have given the M240i the round exhaust!

@@BrosFOURRSpeed It's the full LCD option with the backwards tach on the right. All the larger models also have it as an option, I think it's only standard on the 7 and 8, though. The problem is that the Live Cockpit is harder to read and it doesn't really do anything the regular gauges don't; BMW does not really leverage the full LCD arrangement the way Audi and MB do.

Oh gotcha. This is the first new BMW I've been in that didn't have that display. TO be honest I like how it works. It only gives you the info when you need it. When your nav is up, its in the gauges, same with the cruise. Mercedes and Audi have much more configurable screens. But I like how BMW keeps it simple and nice

Im on the same boat. Debating to get the GR86 and 230. Cant decide. I feel like the GR86 would be more fun to drive since the option of manual. The only downfall is the room is way smaller for the GR86.. Have you had any issues with the 230 ever since you had for a year now??

@@bj10jgo the only issue ive had with it in Seattle being we are sardined with the high population and limited space, is I've been side swiped twice while in park. The purple color makes it hard for people to see the car at night backing out I believe. Unless you live in an area where parking spaces are larger, its a risk getting this car in purple but tons of compliments and looks. Its like being in a lamborgini attention at a fraction of the price.

@@BrosFOURRSpeed I loved driving this car. To me it handled well and was very flat and balanced; with no body roll in corners at good speed. I’ve read it has 50/50 weight balancing and it drives really great. It’s much lighter and more nimble with rear wheel drive so feels better than heavier AWD cars like the M240i. It’s not about straight line speed but more about nimble handling. It only weighs 3519 Lbs and feels light yet solid and planted.

I bought this car because m240i almost 12-13K expensive and only 1 second faster than 230i. you just need simple tune and sport suspension. so you will save 12K. dont too much watch commercial. of course if you tune 240i its can be beast but if i put 54K i can go with c8 corvette or porsche 718
