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

I replaced my beloved Mazda MX5 with a 230i, and honestly it was a hard transition. My wife hated the Miata, so I was left with no choice but to trade it in. I got a 2017 BMW 230i, with a stick shift, and it has been ok. I have the moon roof, and the car handles great, is a lot quicker than the Mazda, and gets a lot more oohs and aahs. That said, the Mazda is much more about driving, this car is more about looking cool while you get there faster. If I had not had a real sports car, I think this review would have been more positive, the BMW does everything quite well, just without the driving thrill. Update after 1.5 years of owning this car. I now have about 28K miles on it, and a number of issues have come up. I have had to top off the coolant twice, each time needing over a quart of coolant, dealer says there is no problem?? Check engine light came on, then off, was not gas cap but never figured out what it was. Took car in snow and now wheels (part of 2500 competition upgrade) have like a clear coat coming off, dealer says looks like someone tried to repaint the wheels. I did not, and think they just don't want to deal with it. When this car is approaching 50 k and no longer has the free factory service I will dump it.

Purchased new 2017 BMW 230i convertible. 4 years, just out of warranty water hose broke and was told also needed turbo coolant hoses. Total of $2000. 6 years and 60,000 needed water pump and oil filter housing, both leaking. $4000. $1000 per year in cooling system repairs. First and last BMW.

5 years later I'm still loving it. No mechanical issues and classic styling hasn't aged a bit. This is very much a drivers' car.

I had a 1999 M3 convertible. Unfortunately I skipped the e46 convertible and was faced with the v8 and the hardtop convertible. The 2017 is the exact same size on the outside that the 99 M3 was. It also has 90 horsepower more and with the all wheel drive and all the safety nannies is "almost" impossible to break loose. The handling is superb. The top speed seems to be a little higher as well. I have taken both of them up to 140mph and they both have superior handling. The current set of run=flats seem to not have the bad characteristics of the earlier ones. The car is very comfortable and the voice recognition recognises all the addresses I have put into it. The power steering is unobtrusive and the car really gives you a feeling to the road. I have had the car 5 years now and it is still as good as ever. What I really like is the really comfortable seats. I had a minor accident and my front wheel scraped the side if another car. It cost 7500 which is very high.

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