Funny I bought a 230i almost for the exact same reason. Car is okay in stock form, I was already smoking RTs, and WRXs. Throw one a JB4 and running dead even with GR Corolla, a car with more hp and less weight. The b48 has so much overhead potential that it is perfectly fine as long as you aren’t trying to set fast quarter mile times. For a daily a lightly modified 230i is an amazing daily. So far I’ve done lowering springs, JB4, intake and exhaust and my car is more than enough for public roads. I’ve won a few autocross trophies so the handling is amazing as well. I’m glad I spent a little extra and decided to not buy a GR86. I think if someone is considering an Elantra N, 2.0 Supra, Civic Type R, or even a Mustang then they need to look at a 230i
The higher stage tune you go, the less reliable ur making the car. I have a m235i and since i got it in 2015 ive put mhd stage 1 tune with netal charge pipe and thats it, its plenty fast like that and 59k miles so far on it and no problems. No point going higher, ita already very fast.
I got bought the 230i. For people that have not noticed, this car is the old 3 series with a few upgrades. Still way to heavy and ride I feel is to hard!
so you bought a car that can be as good as another bmw by way cheaper and can even lower the chance of getting a ticket or a noise complain? smart choise
