Girlfriend's BMW 228i (Msport, estoril blue, manuél) finally arrived to join my FR-S. BMW mistakenly ordered the first one in autotragic, however the dealer could not have been more apologetic nor cooperative aside from the obvious wait. Garage is a bit cramped, but it beats carport and outdoor spot living!
First impressions, ze German build quality is nice. Fantastic interior, perfect grippy M steering wheel and decently peppy for a Turbo 4 banger. I am a little envious.

Hey are you the one who had to have BMW build you another 2 because the one they sent didn't have a manual?

YEP. Order has been restored, with a small discount for our troubles.

Then I would like to build 22 automatic transmissioned brown M Line 3 series until I get half the price for the stick shift red one I ACTUALLY wanted.

Esotril Blue is SO good looking. Also it is great because it is similar (pretty much the same really) to the blue in the BMW roundel which is the same blue on the Bavarian flag.

I'm shocked, and super impressed they did that for you. My mom recently traded her 2011 C300 for a 328d Wagon, and man has BMW service been 100% better than Merc. Glad to hear you are dealing with the same great service

perfect spec! I have yet to drive the gas powered x28, but the diesel was fantastic.

Msport adds a bunch of things, but no official //M.
-M steering wheel
- Rear Spoiler
- M Sport Seats
- M Suspension
- M Suspension management

It also is the only way to get the awesome shade of estoril blue. So there's that

The estoril is the reason I didnt question its //M pedigree. I was simply asking about the badge
