Seven grand in options? You're doin' it wrong. Get a near-stripped model 228i and you've still got everything that's important to enjoy that car and then it's a killer deal.
I tired to not click often but boy do these things add up fast.
$2,000 M Sport Line
$ 895 Paint
$1,500 Coral Red Dakota Leather
$1,500 M Track Package (I think that is forced with the M Sport)
$1,600 Auto Trans
Well, I can forgive the $1,600 for the auto if it's a necessity. At least it's about as good as they get with that excellent 8 spd.
What does the M- sport line do? Is it just cosmetic? If so, it'd be an easy scratch from my list. Base car already looks quite good. Coral Red looks great too, but not worth $1,500 to me. And nearly a grand for paint? No. Freakin'. Way. unless it's the kind that heals itself of nicks and scratches and keeps itself clean. A jet black or standard white would be just fine for me. Keeping that car simple is what makes it so great. $36k ain't cheap for a car, but the driving experience of the 228i is such that it feels like a bargain for that money.
