School Me on the 228

Delta0311 · 07-09-2016, 10:00 PM

Hi guys,
Just picked up a 2016 228xi for my chick today (picking it up on Monday). She was dead set on getting it. It's definitely a nice and peppy car but how does it compare to my 2011 E92 335xi?

Here is a quick pic

It's a N20/26 engine which isn't quite as capable as the N54/55 engines but still with a tune and downpipe its a pretty quick car. i've got JB4 right now but plan to get a true DME flash later.

Suspension and wheels & tires would be a good start also.

The car is quick. I was messing around with it today and I have to say I was happily surprised how quick it is.

Car will be predominantly driven by my fiancé so I'm not going to do any modding. Thanks for the response though. And I do have to say I'm really starting to like the 228.
