M2 vs M235i M Performance Edition
What are you thoughts?
Note: Only 50 M235i M Performance Edition available in Canada. I just saw one yesterday at my dealer. Last edited by Benzima; 01-19-2016 at 09:07 AM.. Reason: Added M235i image |

If it's anything like the M Performance edition 435i, which is a fully decked out 4 series costing close to an M4, I would stick with the M2 over this 235.
That is unless you want xdrive which, this might offer. I believe the Canadian M Performance 435i is offered with xdrive.

Wow, this is definitely a niche car then. I can see why only 50 units are available north of the border.

If you're picking one up off lease or a demo, then it's going to be a good deal over the M2 because you're not losing that 20% off the lot and it's still early into '16. The M Performance Edition MSRP'd at about $65k CDN optioned out, the M2 $?. I managed to pick one up ('15 MPE Blk on blk 6MT) with 12k kms on it for $49k CDN which is a STEAL if you factory to cost for LSD, M carbon parts, wheels etc (my particular cars tag was $63,500 pre tax/delivery, so for what I paid I really got a great package, a new base white m235i with no add ons comes to $52k after taxes/delivery, so this made complete sense to have the total package, for less and not lose the depreciation of a new car. I went to the dealer to order a new car initially, and the salesman who had the MPE M235i on BMW executive lease was literally taking the plates off, when I asked "what the hell is that bad boy?" And we moved into it right away. Only 50 for Canada and 50 for the US, so it is something "special", but not impossible to bump into down the road again if you want it when they drop in price.. Keep it clean and relatively low km's and it will hold great resale because of all of the OEM+ m goodness. An M2 out the door will be much more, but it's "more" car. Just depends where your wants and needs come into priority If I were going new, I'd go base M235i MT or "Base" M2 MT. I don't typically buy loaded cars because I'm a track regular (I don't usually do body or accessory mods either (mainly BBK's, Suspension and HP), this also is not my daily driver so all of the technology wasn't a deal breaker. But I couldn't pass up the opportunity to own this particular car, no regrets, I'm in love *tehe. The M2 is great, but for me, not another $20k great (my situation, others will be different). What I can do to this car for under $10k will bring more smiles than having the brand new car, even in M2 trim. My $.02

There was recently another one in Victoria BC, which was listed for $55k with 5k kms and lasted less than one week. There is one more for sale currently in Edmonton, Black on Black, 6spd Performance Edition for $55k I beleive, which they may negotiate with the oil prices declining and Alberta unemployment rates climbing .

It really wasn't a great deal because there was no power gain for the M235i M performance edition and the price is basically the same as the M2. http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showt...rmance+edition |

None of these M Perf edition cars will sell for $65k. I'd say at least 10% off. Same black only interior and no moonroof. I'd still pick the M2 if that's the case. Or a used M235 with moonroof at mid $40ks

I'm thinking of all 3 eventually, but tune is my last priority. I just ordered wheels for summer set-up (stance SF03). I'll start there and think about something else next year.

I did like the alcantara steering wheel and all the cf extras. The M2 feels like a planted version of the 235. Just a beautiful upgrade. My wife did like the 235, as I could soften the suspension. But it's my DD not hers... |
