2 Series Msport BMW like BMW of Old
This car handles great and quick. Fun to drive. Like a boxer with a fold down back seat or a cayman with a drunk and sunroof. Plus you save $1000's.

Fun baby M
25k trouble free miles. Solid blend of enough performance for the heavy footed and comfy enough for the long road trip. Like all M series autos maintenance and parts are more $$.

Needs Little to be Perfect!
Purchased the car used with 33k. All service records available with nothing replace except the tires, wiper blades and a new battery. Rag top is original and in excellent condition. I have had it a year now and the only issues I have with BMW is they used to much plastic in the engine bay. I have replaced the “Mickey Mouse” coolant hose flange since it was plastic with an aluminum one. Charge pipe is next. Has a plastic valve cover, a plastic oil and transmission pan. Purchased an extended warranty for 3 years. Last service they said the rear output shaft was “weeping”. According to the dictionary weeping is leaking but the warranty provider said weeping was different than leaking. They also say in their warranty that if you fail to take the necessary actions to prevent a problem was getting worse they can refuse to honor the warranty. BMW went right along with them. Car is great but I wonder about BMW. Don’t believe BMW said s their cars can go 10,000 miles or more before oil changes. Don’t believe BMW when they say “ Life Time Transmission Fluid” either. I spoke to ZF the transmission manufacture and they basically said that was ‘Bull”. It should be changed between 50k and 80k. So there you have it. I have owned many BMW’s and some are better than others. But this little 2-series is one of 5he best. If it only had the B58 engine it would be perfect.

It’s just the perfect size
The most appealing thing about this car is what you get in its compact size. The fact that it has xDrive means you can drive it year round, even in areas that get snow (as long as you have appropriate tires). The “non-Mcar, but M-Sport package” provides sports car styling and the in-line 4 engine has enough hp and torque to give it a sporty feel but it’s not quite a sports car. The small overall size of the car is fantastic - nice and compact but not too small. It’s just the right size if you mostly drive it alone or with 2 people, as the rear seats are small - but it’s still good to be able to carry 4 passengers, if you need to. If buying used or CPO, definitely look for xenon lighting package (this car needs it), heated seats/wheel, and parking distance sensors as the rear windshield is tiny (but at least it’s glass). The one thing no one seems to mention is the small gas tank - at 13.7 gallons, you’ll find yourself filling it up pretty often, despite the fact that it gets pretty decent mileage. Interior is focused on function so it’s pretty sparse. While I wish the screen was integrated into the dash (kind of has the appearance of a small tablet mounted to the dash), it’s functional and intuitive. The base 228i doesn’t come with much, so choose your options carefully or it will add up quickly and out price itself compared to other cars in its class. But I am completely satisfied and hope to keep this car for a long time.
