The 2 series is a perfect size if you want a fun car to drive that is practical for daily use. Great driving dynamics . The 230i is not underpowered going 0-60 in 5.3 second.
Surprisingly good

I got this car to replace a 2009 335i coupe. I really liked the 335 but I promised it to a family member. The 335 was costly to maintain and in my review of that car, I joked about leasing to always have the service contract in place. I thought about it more and more and that is why I leased this one. I have been really happy with this choice. -First, it is strikingly fast, even though it is one of the least costly BMWs overall. BMW's own stats say 4.4 secs to 60mph. It is aggressively quick off the line and I have not even floored it yet since it is the break-in period. Despite relatively aggressive accelerating, the onboard mileage meter shows 23 mpg. The 335 was not nearly as quick and usually gave about 19 mpg. -Second, It handles very well and my testing spots are the 270 degree turn on-ramps for local freeways. Sharp turns feel great at normal speeds. -Looks wise, from the pictures I was indifferent about its appearance. I neither liked it nor hated it. (I decided to get it due to the reviews about it being a great handling car, not for its looks) In person however, I really like it, especially in Black Sapphire. -One feature I have enjoyed is the choice of comfort or sport mode. I have had several cars that have a sport button that basically don't do anything perceptible. The 335 had a sport mode that keeps the gears one notch lower, keeping the turbo in play. In comfort mode, it feels like a luxury cruiser and not harsh at all. BUT, This car's sport mode changes the whole character of the car and I'm pretty sure it is not my imagination. It keeps the gear lower allowing better acceleration, but I am certain the suspension is stiffer, which I tested going over center bumps and a number of potholes in our area. And, the steering takes more effort, which also returns the wheel to center with more force when you let go of the wheel. -The sound of the engine is very good. It is quiet at low throttle, but is sounds very deep approaching 4000 rpm. (However I'm not sure how much is piped in by the stereo system, a common practice for many makers.). -The electronics are ok, but to be fair, I have not played much with them. I am concentrating on the driving, and I am very happy about driving this car. It almost makes me look forward to going to work, and believe me, this is saying something about how good it is. -This is pretty early in the ownership of the vehicle and I will report more later if anything changes.

This is the best. My husband had trouble getting in and out of my Sports Car. But I didn't want to give up having one. Found this to be the best solution. This car is so great. Sporty, easy and fun to drive. Comfort galore and all the bells and whistles equal every option you could have. I would recommend this car to everyone

My car is a 2021 230i MSport with 6 speed manual (Edmunds, get with the program on the review model choices, please), custom ordered and picked up 1/15/20. I was going to get the base suspension but my sales rep recommended the MSport based on my needs and wants, and I'm glad of that recommendation now. The car comes with performance non-runflats/top speed limiter increased from 130 to 155, which is academic in the U.S. but a nice to know. My experience so far is that the car has bags of personality and feels neutral and agile on back roads. The interior quality is high and the climate control holds a temperature well. The only complaint I have so far is the electrically assisted power steering, which lacks the feedback that the E90 325i I had a few years ago gave. Sport mode makes it heavier, but doesn't really add feel. In this respect, the Camaro has a better system. But overall I love the car. It's fast, comfortable, looks great in a slightly stubby way. It's a terrier in dog terms, or a light agile fighter as an aviation reference. More sports car than GT -- I imagine the 4 series filling that role. It is obviously less powerful than the six, but the M240xi, for instance, weighs 300lbs more, much of it over the front end. I drove that brutally fast car recently but found that I prefer this for its friendly nature and better balance. The manual may be slightly slower but who's measuring, and it transforms the experience.The cockpit is a great office -- everything readily at hand with good, simple analogue instrumentation.
