Nice review. Appreciate seeing a base Sport version review. Many other reviews of the 230i are optioned up to around $47k with Msport and handling packages. You said you drive a Camaro so having your comparison input was informative. Well done!

I’ve got the base 2022 230i coupe and yes it’s a great value. The MSRP was $39,500. This ‘22 model doesn’t have the large screen but everything else is the same. It drives great and is very quick. The luxury and quality feel for this price is very surprising. Clearly it’s the best BMW value out there…as long as you go minimalist on options. I’ve checked out the M240i which looked awesome, but the dealer optioned model was $56k. I think it would be ok if you ordered it with virtually no options to get the best value at $50k.
Cool. Being in my mid 50's, buying one isn't an issue. However, actually sitting in one comfortably is my #1 concern. If the seating and shoulder room is too tight...no sale. I sat in a new Camaro and Mustang. The Camaro is terrible...like sitting in a bathtub with no visibility. The Mustang is much better...seats and outward vision is fine. However, shoulder room is really tight and small pedals. I need to sit in this 2-series and try one on for sizing.
It’ll feel a little more planted while on throttle turning and a little less punchy at higher speeds but the big difference will be during rain or snow so if you’re in colder areas, the xDrive would probably be worth it.
Ill try getting my hands on a 2023 but heres the link to my 2022 review. Not much has changed🤷🏻♂️ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cUdkQuM5cTI.html
I heard a rumor that " you cannot currently order a 2023 230 i w/M Sport pkg car and that some of the M Sport suspension was incorporated into the standard car"....Is this just ignorant salesperson talk or is this true per BMW themselves????
6:47 you consider $37K well under $40K? Seems pretty close to $40K to me. You need to work on your salesman skills cause peeps don’t fall for bullsh_t much anymore brah ☹️
