I own a white M235i X Drive, awesome car, love driving it and it is very comfortable even on long journeys. My local Costco though is getting regular visits
Everyone seems to think the M235i is a saloon/sedan version of the M135 hatchback. While it shares the same engine the foundation of this car is the X2. So its more of a saloon/sedan version of a SUV. Compare the back end (light clusters etc) and you can kind of see how the rear design of the X2 morphs into the M235i. And IMO the m235i drove better than the M135i.
Hey man, thanks for the video, those are some very good shots. Wanted to ask, are you sure this is sophisto grey? been looking at many 2 series and cannot find that color listed anywhere
Thank you for the kind words! This is the information the car dealership that provided the car for us gave us. A quick google search, I think it’s the correct name for the color. Hopefully this answers ur question. ~DrivingViews
Considering this model because it seems to be the last model with a normal stick shift and dash or I would definitely go for the M3 series. I hate that new long ipad looking dash with support brackets and dial shift. What's makes me a little hesitant about the M235 is the 4 cyl and the front wheel biased tranny.
m3 and m235i are totally different, i can't understand how you hesitate between them... is like hesitating between a Ferrari and a Ford Transit... if you said that m3 is the double of the money of this one i would agree with you! lol
@@counterplay3852 I actually was referring to the m340i. There's about a 10k difference between that one and the m235i so buying the m340 would seem like a no brainer. But I hate the dash and console in the m340 so I will probably end up with neither.
I think so! I drove a G87 M240I last weekend and I noticed that when I didn't slam the bonnet it wouldn't close properly! I think you are right. ~DrivingViews
Thank you for the feedback and compliment!. I understand your point, But when we made our channel we asked ourself would people really listen to us doing POV video? We aren't English speakers so we think it wouldn't be appealing to listen to. Maybe in the future this can be changed we will see where the channel grows to ~DrivingViews
Counts for many cars unfortunately.. the prices are out of the roof sometimes! So many good daily’s but people cannot afford them. So we don’t get to see them all on the road being enjoyed.

I've never actually looked at it in this way! Now I cannot unsee it when I spot one on the road haha!
I have a M235 and it's an incredible car.
I want this or the 2 door m. both seem really good priced and better then my mini countryman

love this car. my understanding is it's quite a stiff, rigid car on rougher urban roads, bumps etc, is that true?
Correct! But very good in cornering and sporty drive
How did u make the lights flicker like that?
Hello! that’s just the frame rate from the camera. They don’t flicker it’s just the fps from the camera
@@DrivingViews awww
What is the name of the car color ?
The color is called Sophisto Grey.
Storm bay grey

Unfortunately the large displays are becoming a standard thing in all BMW latest models. I understand you're hesitation. ~DrivingViews

@@mightyj806 haaaa okok that phrase is tricky then :p M3 and m340i are really diferent :p
I have this car and its absolutely amazing did burn a lot of gas though in only 2 days😞
Smiles for miles!
I have to slam the bonnet on mine as well, and check it is closed. Perhaps it is because it is aluminium?
I think so! I drove a G87 M240I last weekend and I noticed that when I didn't slam the bonnet it wouldn't close properly! I think you are right. ~DrivingViews
the cars you bring is great, but no one these days want to read a caption about car, so if you want to have many subscribers just speak.

probably one of the best daily drivers on the market but not worth £55000 maybe £25000 max

@@DrivingViews It's very unfortunate, picked mine second hand
I wish you a lot of fun and safe kilometers!
