Great car

Immensely fun to drive, relatively practical and (so far) reliable. Still... if you have children think twice before buying. Also, the price is a bit too high to qualify this vehicle as a "good value," per se. Here's hoping maintenance costs don't rise exponentially in the future...

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!

The Swiss Army Knife of Autos

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

As a long-time German car aficionado and high-performance driving instructor, I can say that this is the most amazing car I have ever owned. BMW handling is the best in the business, and this car is not only nimble but fast. And yet, it gets great fuel economy (upper 20s) and has all-wheel-drive. There are not many AWD convertibles for all-season fun! The cloth top allows for a very generous trunk and the rear seats fold flat for more cargo room. It has all the electronic bells and whistles and creature comforts, first-rate GPS and human-interface, comfortable sport seats, M-options, and it looks great. The ideal car.

My first BMW

Best convertible that’s not tiny...and not too big. Have had the car almost a year and love driving it! Top up or top down! I find it really difficult to get off the road and into my garage. I need to plan a long road trip with it. It’s very comfortable I haven’t even figured out half of all the amenities it handles fabulously and it is very fast! I have the Valencia orange metallic with tan seats. The version I bought is fully loaded and was a $50,000 vehicle new. I got it for less than half price just three years later. I limit my driving to weekends and Special trips. I kept my Honda SUV. All I can say is I love it beautiful styling and top quality.

Hands down, the best performing car for the price out there, together with excellent comfort, quite a combination.
