2016 BMW 2 Series 228i SULEV 2dr Convertible (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
2 of 2 people found this review helpful
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.

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.

This is an amazing car! This is my first BMW and to be honest, I can't believe I've lived this long without one! I have the convertible and it is so beautiful. I love driving it and can't get enough of it. I have a 2006 GTO as well and they look quite nice in the garage together! I've had this car for 6 months now and it is still as fantastic as ever. It gets so many compliments!!! So glad I purchased this quick little beast. Update....my car is one year old. Is it possible to love a car TOO much? I probably do. This car is everything I've dreamed of. It's a head turner and I am so proud that I own this little bundle of fun. Best purchase I've ever made.

Very Good Car, But 135 is Better

2016 BMW 2 Series M235i 2dr Convertible (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
7 of 12 people found this review helpful
I leased a 2013 135i convertible with M Sport for three years. It is a great car. It was zippy and fun to drive. It was comfortable. I should have kept it, but at the end of the lease, the residual was much higher than the current market price, so I turned it in and purchased an M235i convertible, figuring it would be an "upgrade" to the 135. BIG MISTAKE. Although the M235i is a nice car, it is not near as much fun as the 135. The main reason for this is the electric steering. The electric steering on the M235i is simply numb. Also, even though the M235i is only 3 inches longer and one inch wider than the 135, it drives like a much bigger car--more akin to a 3 series. It lacks that zippy feel that you get with the 135. As a whole, the M235 is a nice car. It has a nicer interior, it feels more roomy inside, it has a much improved navigation system, and it has a backup camera. The seats are comfortable, but the seats in the 135 are better. The M235i comes standard with non-runflat tires, which is a huge improvement (first thing I did when I got my 135 was switch out the run-flats for non-run-flats). The M235 has adjustable dampers, which I almost never use, but some might see this as a benefit. Gas mileage is significantly better on the highway--30-31 vs about 25 with the 135, but gas mileage in town is pretty bad--I average around 12-14 in city driving. The M235 is a decent car, but I miss the much better steering and feel from the 135. The 135 drives like a much smaller car than the M235i, and is more likely to plaster a permanent grin on your face. I also think the 135 convertible looks better with the top down--it has cleaner and simpler lines and the wheels look much better than the dark gray wheels on the M235i--but this is a matter of personal taste, and I understand that some might prefer the newer look. Overall, the "improvements" to this model do not make up for the incredibly numb and lackluster steering. If you're considering the M235i, you might pause and look for a good used 135 instead. I wish I would have kept mine.

I have had 10 flat tires on the car since I leased it 17 months ago. I am not even driving it much due to fear of getting another flat. On one pothole, 3 tires blew.
