What Makes the 2022 BMW 230i Such a Crowd Pleaser.

[@BestOfTate23]

Just picked up a fully loaded one with m sport package in the thundernight metallic this thing is sweet, my first car at 23

[@cardel2457]

That’s a very setup. I love that color.

[@rustycage670]

Take easy and enjoy it!

[@flufnug]

First car nice, I’m 23 and I’m working on my 4th car

[@BestOfTate23]

@@flufnug if you are in the market this is a great choice, turns heads even in beverly hills and has one of the nicest interiors on a car as well as sounding great for a 4cyl

[@salami99]

lol im 23 too, i want to get a 240i. 230 is great and all the power i need. but i have an inline 6 addiction

[@salami99]

glad to see ppl who bought this like this car, and still watch videos on it.

[@cardel2457]

Indeed!

[@dinosoarmotorsports]

I bought a 230i M Sport with no options but the M Sport and Dynamic Handling Packges...even the moonroof delete. This car is wonderful. I upgraded the tire/wheel to 255/35s on all four corners, it handles so, so well! If you don't need a monster 0-60 time, you don't need an M240. Get a 230 MS and save a bunch of cash too!

[@cardel2457]

Agreed. A+ car, with plenty of power.

[@minwookim1933]

Could you give me the specs of the new wheels you put on for 255 square setup? My car is coming soon and wondering the offset and width of the wheels and if 255s clear the wheel wells. Thanks!

[@adriapinyolbarrios6941]

@@cardel2457 In terms of the perceived quality of the interior, do you think it is equal to the Serie 3?

[@broly259]

In your opinion is the M-Sport worth it? I reserved the base 2022 230i with just a convenience package? I do like spirited driving and i saw that the m sport 230 has electric rear sport differential.

[@Daveyboy_RS3]

Currently have a 2015 mk7 Golf R and I've been totally obsessed with this 230i. Specd exactly the way you have it with the m sport and dynamic handling package and skipping the premium package. Sure I'd love the m240i with that extra 130 HP but they're almost impossible to find and if you do find one they're marked up like crazy. And from what I understand, because this new g42 2 Series is based on the 340 and 440i rear drive chassis as opposed to the m235i Gran coupe or mini Cooper front drive chassis, it feels super lively and nimble, like a true BMW should. Congrats... Can't wait till I get mine. By the way did you end up getting the shadow line package? I think I read that it's about $995 and blacks out certain parts of the car but I'm not completely familiar with exactly what it offers.

[@Craigmayville]

Seems like a far better car than the last one. Nicely done.

[@cardel2457]

It feels that way too. Thanks for watching.

[@wingedhussar5528]

Had to go with the G42 M240 could never see myself in a 4 cylinder BMW, even though the B48 is a good engine.

[@rembo183]

I just purchased this model in Alpine White with the Cognac (tan) interior, except without the M Sport package. It’s great to drive and simply beautiful with only the convenience options. Plus it’s a bargain at merely $39k. I really don’t think you need manny options to get get a really nice daily driver. Performance is just fine and plenty fast with more than adequate brakes. Terrific gas mileage and economical on trips.

[@cardel2457]

Lovely car. Excellent combo too.

[@gospinN]

Great review, Wish you luck with your career man

[@cardel2457]

I really appreciate that! Thanks.

[@franklynn6571]

Great review.

[@dmsqwerty]

Awesome color. Did they stop making them with Heads up display? It’s not an option anymore :(

[@cardel2457]

That’s weird! I know the wiring harness plants on Ukraine are shut down. Might have something to do with it.

[@dmsqwerty]

Does the 2023 230 X drive (awd) perform just as good ?

[@cardel2457]

Yes. More controlled but less playful.

[@bobby9882]

Great review. I'm sold!👍

[@cardel2457]

Thank you!

[@KACE_BLUE]

PLS explain! I thought only the m240i has the black lip on the front. I am quite sure the 220i and the 230i do not have that. even with the m sport package. but here the 230i has it. how?

[@cardel2457]

It comes on the 230i as long as it has m sport.

[@KACE_BLUE]

@@cardel2457 are you sure about that? I have seen multiple videos about the 230i with m sport and they dont have it. like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/baKkkKt_mbqbZpI i wonder why some have it and some dont.

[@KACE_BLUE]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYi1hJJne9abepY or this one!? i dont understand...

[@khanhlam1088]

@@KACE_BLUE that is come with option "shadowline package". U can open 2 tab on computer to build with/without option shadowline and see what is different easier

[@KACE_BLUE]

@@khanhlam1088 dude thats it!! thank you for finding that out. Its not about 240i or m sport.. its about shadow line package.

[@AllSystmsGo]

I miss the dual circular headlights and the taillights should have gone in a little longer toward the middle of the back of the car but other than that I am loving it. That being said my favourite design of BMW ever is the 1M so it is quite a departure from the last few generations.

[@cardel2457]

The 1m is a beast!

[@robertdelvecchio7438]

excellent video on the 230i - can you confirm if the 2022 230i has a wireless phone charger or not ?

[@cardel2457]

It does not

[@porfiriato84]

I'm not sure but I think you have to add that on in one of the optional packages.

[@bj10jgo]

is this color like the Nardo Gray color in Audi? And if you had a choice, would you choose this color or Thunder Metallic?

[@cardel2457]

This is Brooklyn grey. Nardo, I believe is a bit darker. I’d go with the midnight purple. That color is hot!

[@scottyk329]

Ordering mine in a week. M240i with pro pack. Trying to decide between this Brooklyn grey or black sapphire. Interior will definitely be the red leather. Dealer says 3 to 5 month wait. Ugh

[@bj10jgo]

@@scottyk329 Brooklyn Grey is the way to go. I seen it in person and its beautiful. Unfortunately, i didnt want to wait too long as it will take 6 months to order so i decided to move to another direction, got a 2022 GR86..No regrets.

[@Bimmer_Bill]

@@scottyk329 I ordered mine right around then too. Went into production last week.

[@manliberal8382]

I'd like to buy a 230I next year, easily afford. m240I is expensive

[@cardel2457]

It’s a great car! You should be satisfied.

[@khanhlam1088]

Does it have side mirror folding when u locked a car ?

[@cardel2457]

Yes, you can do it in the settings.

[@TheRealSavi]

I actually already own this car but got hit by a deer after only 5000 miles. Its been in the shop for a few weeks now and im missing it lmao

[@cardel2457]

Beautiful car

[@user-ti2xi9bd4u]

Mine is still sitting at Oxnard the transport center, sad

[@cardel2457]

Ya. Transport has been a bit laggy in beamers currently.

[@1LE_Ciko]

What was the msrp on this spec

[@cardel2457]

I think it was close to 50k

[@rembo183]

$10k cheaper without the MSport, Dynamic and Premium packages. With only convenience package it’s $39k

[@Teh_Chosen_Juan]

comment: the car is the talent. less person in center frame. more car. further back shots. walk around from all angles. some slow driving in parking lot. human is only good in shots when in the interior so we can see scale, etc. i know. captain nit pick over here. well IRRREGARDLESS, i have ordered mine. brooklyn grey m package with the black interior and the 797M Y 19"s. should start production soon! hoping for June delivery!

[@cardel2457]

Appreciate the criticism! Still trying to perfect the craft.

@@cardel2457 dude absolutely! you've already started! which is more than i can say for myself. good on yah! hopefully my comment didn't come off as dickish.
