strange steering feel at very low speed !

[ninja_geezer]

Seen a White 71 plate M235i today and the daughter was commenting on it, things like “oooh that’s nice, that’s more you dad”

The more I stared the more I was thinking I want one.

my plans are for new M240i, bit expensive though...getting rave reviews ,,

ok so picked my car back from the dealers and cupra have told the dealer to fit a new steering rack !
no idea when but its ordered.
on another note the dealer managed to badly the mark the fake carbon weave part of the drivers mat ,no idea how it looked brand new when i took the car in.
They apologised and have ordered a new mat at least. .

Just be wary and drive one first,I bought a m140i pre the Formentor and apart from the superb engine,I hated it and sold it within a year.
Thought I would love it too but the ride,seats and crap led headlights just constantly annoyed me.

Yeah I’ll never buy a car without a good test drive again but thanks for the heads up. I’ll be keeping this for a wee while yet unless I get offered the deal of a lifetime (unicorn pee) lol.

Someone at work had a M140i and when sat in the back I couldn't believe how choppy the ride was, bouncing all over the place ? He now has the M235i GC, but I'm not too keen on the rear it just looks awkward how it just looks flat from the back. If it was me I would go for the 1 series, I was considering the 128ti before ordering the Formentor

Do you not think they have ruined the design? I think the new M240i looks hideous!

Pretty sure they have just nicked and tweaked the front end from the new X2.

I like that they didn't give it a huge grill... but they ruined the look in my opinion.

I mean... what happened?!

The rear is the same what they’ve done to the M235i GC it doesn’t suit the car

[Seriously?]

BMW have lost the plot styling-wise IMO.
Just look what they've done to the front of the 4 Series

Driven a new m135i and the 128ti...must say I prefer the 128ti,it was a nice car.

Prefer the Formentor to both though,by some margin..the interior of the bimmers are pretty cheap feeling.

its the way it drives to me more than looks.....

I feel like the 128ti is what the GTi Clubsport is with the mk8 Golf. More of a "drivers car" but not in the realm of the M135i or Golf R
