Official Australian 2 series spotted thread

Since no one has started on yet, I'm going to start a spotted thread...

Spotted my first M235i (since I got my car) in the wild today, a Mineral White with black wheels on the M1 highway going towards the CBD.

Feel free to share sightings of F22.

Nice. I have only seen 2 in Brisbane plus MO3 and xHoon at Advan. Still pretty limited numbers on the streets I think

Yeah not many M235i getting around. I am starting to see more 220i around up in NQ. Last time i was in Brisbane, i saw heaps of 220i, though that might have something to do with me being around the BMW Brisbane dealership

Yes there seems to be quite a few 220i around (I've seen probably 10 on the road so far?). 228 and 235 are a lot rarer...

Have seen 4 x 2 series in my parents area. That's the main reason I got my car after seeing one near my parents place.

I've seen 3-4 M235is traveling down Pacific Hwy heading city bound every week. Not sure if is because the dealership is so close to where I work, or it's real customers driving their own cars !

That feeling when you park next to someone you know is not going to door your car
This was in a Woollies carpark in Carlton Melb

Haha awesome.

I got a door ding in my first week of ownership, I was so pissed. But luckily only cost me $70 to fix...

Some kid in a 220i decided to drive like an idiot and overtake me on a merge lane going 100 in a 60 zone... Not even worth my petrol, just like all those kids in CLA200 etc. that like to have a go at the lights

If you are on this board, pull your head out and don't drive like a moron, you would have run off the road (or worse, hit my car) if I had bothered to accelerate.

seen 2x black m235s on the morning commute along river in east Bne and a blue one deeper east.

every so often i'm sharing the road with a black M6 thats driven to the same work estate - that puts me in my place...

i feel there's still far more 1-series coupés about

A red M235i with M Performance fronter splitter on the riverside expressway in the morning, and a grey M235i on Eagle Street at about 6.30pm
