Absolute beauty! And congrats on being the first post in the Aussie forums!

I didn't like those wheels at first, but they are really growing on me, and I even don't mind the runflats.

Have you ever felt that the front splitter may be a little low though? Specifically for speed bumps and driveway crossovers anyway.

The front of the car gives the impression that it is a little low. However to this point no altercation with speed bumps! The non run flats lifts the car by an inch or two.

Unfortunately not a lot of options with 19 rims to fit this car. Waiting to see what comes to market sooner than later

What tyres did you change to? Have runflats on mine and thinking about swapping them out.

M235i doesn't have runflats, only the lower models. They come standard with Michelin PSS.

They do come with runflats if you opt for the 19inch M Performance rims, unfortunately!

Looks the goods, how are you enjoying the car, how does it feel with the different suspension compared to stock. I'm interested in the feedback.

Do you have adaptive suspension in your car? If so, did you consider the new DDC's that plug n play's into your factory adaptive?


The adaptive KW DDC plug&play coilover kit is an intelligent retrofit solution for the BMW 2-series Coupé which is fitted with adaptive M suspension. In addition to adjustable lowering, the electronically adjustable KW suspension allows for a sportier damping setup or a more comfortable ride at the push of a button. "When choosing the sport mode, the BMW 2-series feels much more direct and agile with the DDC coilovers ", explains KW Product Manager Johannes Wacker. „If that's too sporty for the road condition, simply press the original BMW button and within five milliseconds, the KW damper will switch ride mode to comfort." This is possible with the adaptive KW DDC technology and electromechanical valves. The KW DDC is compatible with the original BMW driving electronics which means that no modification of the OE electronics is necessary. "The complete suspension control works via the original sensors which in turn control the KW valves. To install the suspension kit, simply replace the standard suspension with the KW suspension and the KW DDC connectors can be connected to the original plugs", the KW suspension works in harmony with the original BMW control and "It works so quick and harmonically, that you can hardly notice it in everyday use” said Johannes Wacker.

The ride height adjustment of the adaptive KW DDC plug&play coilovers comes via the dirt-resistant KW trapezoid thread on the stainless steel strut and the rear axle height adjustment collars. The German TÜV tested adjustment range on the 2-series allows a continuously adjustable lowering of 25 to 50 millimeters on both axles. The adaptive KW coilover kit is also available for the BMW M235i, with a TÜV-tested adjustment at the front axle of 10 to 35 millimeters and 5 to 35 millimeters on the drive axle.

Enjoying the M235i! The KW V3s give the car better handling without any harsh feel as experienced from time to time in my E92 M3. The M235 is always driven in sport mode hence the V3 coilovers. The car did have the adaptive suspension when I purchased it. Just ordered the MPerformance exhaust with the carbon tips. That should finish this car off.

MPerformance Exhaust

The MPerformance exhaust is impressive from an aesthetic perspective and sounds a heap better than the standard.
