High quality in a great package . I mean that . I have driven them all and very picky . The only con i see in reviews would be people say the back seat is too small. Guess what who cares who buys a small roadster for a back seat ? So with that said there are no cons and if you want a real roadster that is quick , safe , best ride in its class then the 228i XDrive is the one . I have 2016 basically the same as the 2019 and BMW is now not making the convertible 228i anymore so this baby will become a nice rare item in demand , I tried was going to get an SLK so glad I did not for many reasons reliability , ride , getting in and out , seats , sound system , rood speed , repair history the list goes on . BMW makes one heck of very nice made in Germany auto . I am keeping this a long time some day it will be in Hagertys collectables

Still going strong at 120k miles!

2016 BMW 2 Series M235i xDrive 2dr Convertible AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)

This review is from a used car perspective: I am the third owner of the lovely M235i convertible and I am very pleased with it so far! I am entering my 9 months of ownership and still is an absolute thrill to drive on a daily basis. Cold morning starts are always fun and love hearing the exhaust! My car came with all the options available in 2016 and I can say the car has held up very well even with high mileage. The engine is still in excellent condition and does not hesitate to pull when pushed. As I hit past 120k miles last month, the only things I did myself to keep the car in good shape was replace the alternator and will be replacing the front struts soon. One other issue I noticed was my pump for the windshield fluid stopped working. It is a common issue and a fairly simple job to replace at home (FYI you will need to remove the passenger from tire to get to the washer fluid pump). Then N55 engine is very reliable in my opinion and I do not foresee any issues with the life of the car. The convertible top still functions very well and takes approx 20-30 secs to open or close. One thing I wish the car had was Apple CarPlay, but if you want to hear music just roll down your windows and put it in sport+ to get the exhaust fully open :) I plan on keeping this car with me even if I purchase my next car, as it is a blast to drive and is aging well!

Does Everything Well

2017 BMW 2 Series 230i SULEV 2dr Coupe (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

My 230i RWD Manual has most option packages including M Sport 1, full Oyster Leather, Harman Kardon, NAV, back-up cam, reverse senors, sunroof, Xenons, power folding mirrors, etc. I replaced my 2014 Mercedes E350 Wagon with this and honestly I've never been more content with a vehicle choice. Great on gas, more than enough power, fantastic sound system, fun to drive yet soaks up bumps better than my E Class did. Would recommend this car to anyone.

Most Fun Car I Have Ever Owned

Andrew, 06/24/2020
2017 BMW 2 Series M240i xDrive 2dr Convertible AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
1 of 1 people found this review helpful

I have owned Porsche, BMW, Lexus and Audi models the last twenty years, and my wife wanted a small, sporty, four seat convertible (for dog, bags, or ocaissional passenger). The car is an absolute blast to drive and the perfect amount of power, smoothness, and handling. A six speed manual is a must, and have really loved the rev-matching feature for butter smooth shifts. This car is a beast and cars that are well taken care of will age well.
