Looking to get into one of these soon, anything else I should know before getting one, this video was helpful thank you
Make sure you have service records and know the oil was changed on time.
I love your videos on the M235i. I've owned a M240i (Dinan Stage 1, CAI and MP) for about 4.5 years, and I'm never getting rid of it; absolutely adore it. Your video on the Dinan springs/bump stops makes me want to get them! The understeer in the car, to me, is one of its only Achille's heels. Still on the fence about them, since I live in New England, though - lots of potholes around here. Thanks for all of the great, informative, opinions and advice :)
I think what I should’ve done was gotten sway bars instead of the springs. That would help with the understeer more especially if I got adjustable ones
You all prolly dont care at all but does someone know of a trick to get back into an instagram account?
I stupidly lost the password. I love any tricks you can offer me!
@Kellen Kye instablaster ;)
@Bronson Davion thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Bronson Davion It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my ass :D
I have a m235i but it is auto and has xdrive. I use the bootmod3 stage 2 e30 tune and ran a 11.9 at track in like 66 degree weather. It is amazing how much of a difference the auto and all wheel drive make.
For sure, I couldn’t get close to that with a stick shift
It blew my mind when I realized that I could not have traction control off in sport+ mode - AUGH, so annoying! That said, a pedal commander fixes the throttle response issue.
Yes drives me nuts!
Hi, I’ve watched all your videos. These r amazing and helpful. I’m currently having a m235i, and I’m considering to put dinan springs and m control arms on it. I’m having stock wheels and aftermarket spacers. What size of front tire do u suggest to have that won’t hit my fender on the track?
I would pass on the m control arms unless you also get tension struts to even it out. That’s how i hit my fender. You can go 235 in front and 255 in rear with no problems. But it all depends on the offset of your wheels, on the stock wheels, I had 235 no problems.
Low Boost Films sursure btw are u planing to tune your suspension? I notice there is a dinan suspension tune for m235
Qice Sun I don’t plan on it. I actually am selling it, but as long as it isn’t crazy expensive it could be worth it. Must adjust the dampening somehow.
What you said that in America parts are very expensive for BMW that thing is same with corvette in Europe. Because they import those parts. Whatever except that I agree with everything. It was a very good video thank you !!!
Not all the parts are expensive. My charge pipe, FMIC, Tune, Intake and Downpipe combined cost 1/3 what the kw club sport coil overs I want for it. But yea Chevy stuff is all cheap here.
Parts for bmw in uk are way more expensive than in America. No debate
I remember when these first came out and I test drove one. I also noticed the understeer. My f30 335 xdrive doesn't understeer like the M235 did.
I think maybe because it doesn’t have very wide tires up front. Definitely have to throttle steer a little
hey mate! love the car, what carbon side mirrors do you have?
I forget the name. They might be bmw performance ones I’m not sure
@@LowBoostFilms ok, thanks mate.
I run 245s in the front with nearly no rubbing, and if I installed camber plates it wouldn’t rub at all.
Have you tracked it like that?
Low Boost Films I won’t track it due to the possibility of oil starvation, which isnt super common, but I can’t afford a new engine if I was unlucky lol. However I’ve autocrossed the crap out of the car and it has never rubbed at an event. It grazes the fender on large bumps, and rubs the rear of the fender liner (only in reverse which is strange). Both spots are extremely minimal and have never been an issue. 245/40r18 on 18x8 +35
If they rub a little on the road, at the track under higher speeds they will a lot. That’s why I kept a 235. Didn’t have any oil starvation probs though
Low Boost Films possible I suppose. I figured it’d be a issue at autox originally but that was not the case. Had a shop check it out and he said it would never be a real issue. If the wheels are turned in the slightest it clears the fender completely. Straight line and full compression is the only way it rubs
How would you rate the turbo lag on this car? Do you feel like wait for the torque to kick in or is it responsive? And does sport mode reduce the lag?
There is almost no turbo lag unless you are in the wrong gear
@@LowBoostFilms Got it, thank you for the info!
How would you compare the driving experience on this car to the E46 M3? Would it be a worthy replacement?
Power delivery is much different. But the size is very similar. Definitely a worthy replacement
Are you getting rid of the M235i now that you have the vette? Or is the vette just going to be a track toy?
Vette is a track toy for sure. I am selling the M235i but now isn’t the best market lol. So I’m going to enjoy it a little while longer! I want a b58 next.
My auto 97v6 camaro has a working limited slip still lol
Ouch, this hurts hahah.
which one do you think is overall better/reliable 435i or m235i ?
Both so similar. Depends on your taste, the 435 is bigger and has more room. But heavier, slower and doesn’t handle was well.
I wish it had an oil temp gauge instead of the fuel economy gauge. Instead, I have to have MHD monitoring hooked up.
Yes I agree 100%
@@LowBoostFilms My E90 335i had exactly that-an oil temp gauge in the bottom right of the gauge cluster. When I upgraded to my F22 M235i, everything got sportier, but they took out the thing you need to monitor when you’re getting sporty…
Another thing I don’t like is the Dakota leather. It feels cheap and fake. It’s not soft at all. My E90 (LCI N55) had the Saddle Brown leather and it’s the main thing I miss about that car. I loved that leather. I wouldn’t have traded it for Lavalina.
My e90 was saddle brown too. Such a great interior!
@@LowBoostFilms You understand the beauty! Mine was alpine white!
@@kylesmith9048 lmao both of mine were as well!
i noticed my seat is getting more loose i guess passenger seat is way more supportive on the side
Really?
I’m thinking of getting this car, I’ve driven it and love it but do you think it’s worth it? 2014, 100k miles for $18k. Downpipe , intake and bootmod tune.
I don’t know what the prices are going for these days, I sold mine for 23,000 and he sold it three years later for 30,000!
Nice video 👍🏼
Thanks!
I just bought an M235i, picking it up sometime this month. What brand is your front splitter? It looks great!
I have a link to it on one of my videos to it on Amazon. I think an icon Motorsport?
I've been between this one and the M2 for a while... it will be my only car due to garage space, my main thing is the ride quality... is the ride quality realy much better on the 235i?
I liked the m2 ride quality better because it was stiffer. But that’s more of a preference thing. If you like a softer ride get the m235i
What is the front 235 40?
Yes it is.
Low Boost Films I’m surprised it rubbed up on the track. What’s the offset?? Running spacers or plates?
Mike I had m3 lower control arms. It changed the caster too much.
The sound volume in this video is soooo annoying, like... I have to be a sound director to not get deaf. Good content tho. thx
Thanks for the feedback, I agree. My newer videos are much better!
2:38, what lift is that?
They’re QuickJacks. I love them
hi what lip is it?
Icon Motorsports, got it on Amazon but they don’t carry it there anymore. It’s gotta be somewhere
fuck im not sure if i want a 235i or save 7k and get a gti
If it’s not a Golf R, get the m235i
235 is way faster
I’m selling my 2018 Mk7.5 GTI to get a 2016 M235i. GTI is slow and dull in comparison
lol, 4:02 really surprised me
Lol got ya!
Hahaha the video got 235 likes at the moment
That’s awesome!
Compared to a 911 Jesus
What’s your take?
sounds like it's worth it to just get an M car.
At the time that I bought this, they were selling the M2 for $25,000 over sticker so it was over three times what I paid for this. Maybe now it is worth it.
@@LowBoostFilms Yes I was referring to today's market. Debating on m235i but coming from a mustang 5.0 performance pack, your cons list is same for me. All the used m cars seem like a better buy and just leave it mostly stock.
@@jonasbaine3538 if I were to do it again, I’d get an m240i if it had an LSD, M2 or an M2 competition.
