Brooklyn Grey 230i M-Sport

About a month in and loving this car.

I went to the dealer to test drive a 330e. This beauty was on the lot and man, the 2 coupes can be controversial by photo but they are GORGEOUS in person. I had to take it home.

congratulations, looks great. also looks like you're in So Cal maybe, can I ask what dealer? I was scouring for weeks trying to find a 230 with the Advanced Handling / M Sport Pkg Pro but without luck, only option I wish we had on our 230...

That is a strange spec. Nothing wrong with it, just interesting because you literally can not build this on BMWUSA congifugrator. The Msport Package Pro includes the HK sound but no LSD option. Not to mention the Brooklyn Grey is not even an option with the 230i anymore. Anyways, congrats, nice car and the car is anything but slow. Plenty fast!

They've changed how you can spec the 230 quote a bit since last year. Someone on Reddit was complaining recently because the 230 they ordered in 2022 was basically stripped of all the options when if went into production in 2023z

maggies_dad thanks! I got it from BMW of San Diego. Great dealership. The backstory is the car was a preorder and the recipient chose not to take the car on delivery. I guess at the time of the preorder, you could build m sport pro

right on, same story with our 230... we tried building one to our desired spec both on BMW USA and with the SA and it wouldn't take. a bit of a compromise in our final spec but we also got ours for almost $2k under MSRP (just got it a couple days ago, so in our opinion a great price for this market), a little more if you factor in the dealer didn't make us take the typical "Pro Pack" you see frequently at dealers for all manufacturers... congrats again on the ride! maybe one day I'll upgrade the calipers, doubtful but we'll see...

I picked up my CPO 2022 230i just a couple days ago. Absolutely love it! The only thing it’s missing is the dynamic handling package, those red calipers on BG is beautiful.
