I know. In the USA though the 228i or 230i’s are frowned upon by some (50/50 some enthusiasts some non enthusiasts). I don’t show up at car meets though because of this…my friend has a 23’ M2 and always asks me to come. Why I say??? All The ppl own new M3’M4’s. Thus…I just go to car events with my dad in his 1M or 23’ X3 Mcomp. (My brother has an E30 M3 too—sometimes I go with him!) but after buying my 228i vert new in 2016…it was expensive as shit $51k is a lot of coin for me. I’ll keep the car for atleast 10 years and then probably have to buy used if I want a MSport 6cyl BMW. I only buy verts lol.
