2016 BMW 2 Series 228i 2dr Coupe (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
7 of 9 people found this review helpful
I own this model which I have owned for 3 years it’s a lovely car to look at and drive. The car has done 26000 miles and has full BMW approved service history. The car stopped performing suddenly has been off the road now in garage over a week. Reason Vanos control and timing belt failures in the engine. This is a known manufacturing fault BMW aren’t taking responsibility for. Having been a long standing customer I am so upset I am faced with bills well onto the thousands. Also had to replace the window mechanism which I assume is due to the rimless windows not opening in the cold weather. I’d avoid ubless you want to end up bankrupt.

My husband and I own a 5 series, X3 and now the 228i convertible. This was this most spontaneous purchase ever. We were at a dealer looking at a 911, and I saw this gorgeous gem in Mineral Gray , Black top and interior. It was “Love at first drive”. It’s quick and responsive. And what a value! Nearly half price in just 2 and a half years! Really grips the road, takes corners on a dime. Of course the ride is a little taut, but is not punishing, and the seats are quite comfortable.

.5 Seconds Slower than my 2007 335i

Yes, just a half second slower than my 2007 BMW 335i from zero to sixty, 4.9 vs 4.4. 13.7 vs 12.9 in the quarter, ending at 108.9 vs 101. And $39k vs $52k. The Sport Display shows torque and HP used, rarely reaching max around other cars so more would be a waste here in South Florida. I also skipped the sport suspension this time and am much happier on the daily drive. Loved the sport suspension when pushing the 335i, but the opportunities were very rare and the punishment constant. The 228i is also one of the few cars i cannot drive with the seat all the way back, at 6'2" that rarely happens. This is a gem I recommend test driving. A year later, I still really like this car. No complaints or regrets.

2016 BMW 2 Series 228i xDrive SULEV 2dr Coupe AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

This car is the funnest toy I have ever had! Incredibly fast, AWD holds the road in any weather, comfort and layout feel like a cockpit, and fuel economy is surprisingly high. It draws compliments from people who talk to me about its appearance. Back seats are serviceable and trunk adequate, but the car is best for two adults who have no kids and infrequent needs to carry passengers. Cannot wait to drive it each day. No complaints..."The Ultimate Driving Machine" tagline fits perfectly. UPDATE at 3 years of ownership: I am still in love with this BMW 2-series. No mechanical or any other problems and it runs as perfectly as it did the first day I drove it. It is STILL my favorite toy!

I've owned about 30 cars... including 2 Miatas, 2 Corvettes (2006 coupe, 2002 convertible), a 2011 Mustang Convertible, a Cadillac STS and bunch of other, less exciting cars. I seriously loved most of the cars on this abbreviated list, but no car has impressed me more than the humble, near-bottom-of-the-line 2016 228i I bought 3 years old. If you like taut suspensions, will-to-play responsive throttles, and a brilliant handling chassis (and great gas mileage when you behave) you will love this small coupe. I also love the wonderfully supportive standard seats, but large drivers need not apply - not that a large driver would likely be drawn to a 2-series. The backseat are barely usable for anything but kids/teens, but that's not what I bought it for. I was on my way to buy a VW GTI when I found one of these for less money, with more features, absolutely like new and I have been amazed by it every time I get in it for the last 18 months.
