M235i Mineral White just arrived!
Greetings from Peru!
I just came back from my local dealer an managed to take a couple of iPhone pictures to my just arrived (and very dusty) new ride. It's still with all the cover wraps. I got the mineral white+hexagon/alcantara+brushed aluminium combo with the following extras: - Sport auto trans. (not standard in my country) - Storage package - Park distance control + Rear view camera - Adaptive M suspension (not standard in my country) - Comfort access - Auto-dimming interior and exterior mirrors - Ambiance lighting - Extended cluster - Enhanced USB and Bluetooth Deleted the moonroof and the harman/kardon The car looks awesome, I'll update with some pictures when the official delivery takes place. Just one complaint..... the car came with Bridgestone Potenza instead of Michelin PSS... I don't know why... any thoughts? I was really exited about the PSS's. |

Looks great! Will be even better when clean! :-)
Does the window sticker say they put RFTs on your car? They are optional here in the US, not sure how BMW handles it in other countries. It was my understanding as well that ALL non-RFT tires should be the PSSs.

I specifically ordered the car w/o run flat tires. Did not have a chance to take a look at the sticker on the window, I'll check and let you know, but I'm pretty sure that this potenza's are regular performance tires (non run flat).
My SA told me that BMW works with 6 different tire brands and they do not have any influence in which tires are equipped in each vehicle. |

Congrats! You really can't go wrong with Mineral White. 3 stage paints look great in all lighting

Just talked to my SA, you were all right... my car came with RFTs by mistake.
Luckily in the same boat of my car came a M135i with Michelin PSSs so they are making the switch before my official delivery. The SA told me that they are changing the whole wheel since wheels are different for cars equipped with RFTs... that last thing didn't make any sense for me, but any way I don't really care. Does anyone think that switching wheels + tires can bring any problem? Thanks a lot! |

I'd be surprised if the M2 was offered with a sunroof TBH. Hopefully a carbon roof without the hole in it.

Wow, can't believe how much better, cleaner the car looks without a sunroof. So glad I ordered my 228 without one.
Oh, great looking car. Congrats.

I finally took my official delivery. Unfortunately I detected a really small imperfection on the hood, so I had to wait for my SA take care of it.
Hopefully I'm receiving it in perfect shape tomorrow morning. I also used the dead time on the dealership to install the black grills and m performance pedals. I will take the proper pictures ASAP. Greetings form Perú! |
