Finally joining the M235i club

Finally got one!

Got a good price on a demo M235i and 0.99% financing so I decided to pull the trigger after looking for 6+ months. Time to say goodbye to my 2008 350Z with 148,000 miles, replaced by:

2016 M235i w/ 2400 miles
Mineral Gray on Black Dakota
Driver Assist, Premium, Technology

Put a deposit down and have to go pick it up in Jacksonville when I finish with work this week, super excited! I thought about leasing an M240i instead but I don't really like leasing, tend to keep cars a while unless they start giving me trouble.

Mods to come:
1/2" drop or M6 rims
Black grills
Shadow side markers and rear reflectors
35% tint
SensaTek clear bra
Alcantara & CF interior trim
Illuminated door sills
JL XD600/6 w/ ASD delete harness
H/K Tweeter door sails
Eton B100W front/JL C2-400x rear
Carbon fiber spoiler & mirror caps

Will post pics when I get it, but you know what they look like.


Which first?

Good job. Being in South Florida, I'd go for window tinting first.

You can only prevent paint chips before they happen.

Depends on what your primary use for the car is going to be.

Ditto - first mod on mine was Xpel front half wrap with Cquartz UK topped on a fresh polish. Been beautiful ever since, going on 20 months of ownership and a 3k mile trip from coast to coast.
