This is my 2016 BMW 228i. Six speed manual. Despite being the base model with the four cylinder, 240 hp engine I like it a lot and think it’s pretty quick. When I first bought it I thought I’d eventually upgrade to an M2, but after three years I still love it and don’t feel the need for more power.
So just a friendly reminder that the cheapest model isn’t automatically bad, and actually can be awesome (or maybe I’m just a slow driver haha)
Honestly people need to grow up and give it a rest with the model snobbery. Even a base model BMW today has overkill horsepower for street use. People got along fine with BMWs that made less than 200 hp for decades
