My BMW car has no issues on a scale of 1 to 10 its a 10.
It works and is very reliable I know I can get anywhere in it and I wouldn't trade it in for the world cause for one I paid a lot of money for that. My mama bought it for me as my 8th grade present it literally has no problems. It is capable of running in all conditions and also it does not drink up a lot of gas.

The x drive noticeably helps in wet driving conditions, and the convertible.
Great car, no problems in terms of reliability and a ton of fun to drive. I almost went with a different car, but after a test drive, I knew the m235 had more than enough power to bring a smile to my face. I plan on driving this car until the wheels come off.

An extremely fun BMW to drive, m240i better than a m2.
Very smooth ride, great torque and pick up speed. Very fun car to drive and enjoy. Be mindful of potholes or speed bumps as the car sits low to the ground, but aside from that the car is a great car for single person or couple. Back seat not great for anyone who is not small or a child.

Best of cars 2020 this year!
The comfort of my vehicle is the best it is ever been, and the performance is amazing and everyone should have this vehicle. The features are amazing and should be on every vehicle out there. Best car out there. All the vehicles out there is nowhere near my vehicle, best experience ever with a vehicle.

BMW series: comfortable, fast, reliable.
The vehicle works very well and does what it needs to. At times it can go very fast, but it is definitely not a fast or sports kind of car. The seats are very comfortable, however I find that the make of the front passenger seat is too small. Whenever I push it forward it feels as if there is no leg room, and if I put it backwards there is no leg room from the back passenger. Sometimes it feels a bit claustrophobic but overall it is a pretty good car. Nice leather seats, big trunk area, and a pretty model.

The 2018 BMW 230i is a beautiful and reliable compact.
I love the crisp steering and the very secured drive. The eight-speed automatic is great, always seeming to be in the right gear. I like how comfortable and roomy it feels for four people. I do not like the fact that when you have a flat tired, you have to replace two of the tires apparently for safety reasons.

I like German made cars I like that how they do not slide on the road.
It is not a reliable car. The seats are terrible. The radio is not loud enough and the ac and heat never work.

It drives great and it looks great!.
Love it I like that it runs smooth but dislike how much I had to pay for it I wish it was more spacious.

Great car and great ride I love it.
Runs great. I love my car. It has smooth handling and transmission. Love the storage space and room in the backseat. Glides on the road like a dream. Could not ask for something better. I also love the paint job. It is so smooth glossy and clear. It is fantastic.

There is not much to dislike about the 2018 BMW 2-series.
This car I bought is really fine. I love this car. This car is for good married people. I and my wife like this car very much. But every car has some cons. As I am a long person this is why the car is too narrow. Pro. 1. Swift acceleration. The high-powered engines both generate swift acceleration for the 2018 bmw 2-series. The 2.0-l engine is able to get from 0 to 60 mph in just a matter of a few seconds. Overall, it will be difficult to find a quicker vehicle in this segment. 2. The optional m sport brakes. The optional m sport brakes add an extra sense of security to the vehicle. When equipped with sticky summer tires, the 2-series can come to an emergency stop from 60 mph in just 111 feet, which is quite remarkable for this class. Braking is predictable, and the firm pedal instills confidence. 3. Makes a great everyday driver. While this is a sports vehicle, the 2-series doubles over well as an everyday driver. It easily navigates along busy city roads and can make it into tight parking spaces without a hassle. You can soften up the suspension in eco pro or comfort mode to optimize the 2-series' performance in the city. 4. Maximum seat comfort. Front and rear seats are quite comfortable. The front power side bolsters are a nice touch, and the front seats are highly adjustable. Drivers shouldn't have a problem finding a good driving position. The ride itself is also pretty smooth and comfortable, even when you switch it over to sport mode. 5. A quiet ride. There is virtually no intrusion from wind or road noise, and the car's engine purrs like a kitten. Also, the suspension is so finely-tuned that you will not experience much in the way of bumps and dips in the road. 6. Great visibility. Despite its thick roof pillars, the 2018 bmw 2-series offers a decent amount of rear visibility. Front and side visibility are excellent, and the rearview camera is a huge assist when it comes to backing up. 7. Plenty of storage. There is a surprising amount of storage space in the 2-series. The trunk is larger than what you will find on most competitors, allowing you to easily store bulky items. Also, there are plenty of small storage spaces to be found throughout the cabin. Cons. 1. Tiny rear seat. Most vehicles in this segment suffer the same fate, but the 2-series has it particularly bad. The rear seat is absolutely tiny and can only fit small children. Even fitting a large breed of dog in the rear might prove difficult. 2. Difficulty getting in and out of the rear. While the driver and front passenger should have no problem getting in and out of the vehicle, those in the rear will have to be careful not to bonk their heads. Getting out of the back seats is a little bit complicated if you are over 6 feet tall. 3. The head-up touchscreen display. The head-up infotainment touchscreen display is not a total deal-breaker, especially since it is pretty large. However, its position feels slightly awkward.

Smooth fast ride. Top down is a phenomenal feeling of freedom
Awesome road grip as is any BMW. Drives effortlessly. Top down I feel liberated. Just a little less roomy than other cars. And feels very hot. The outside heat feels too close in this car. It's a little too compact. No space to keep cups, objects etc. Tiny

$56,000 Which would have been a great price, but I bought it used for much less, which was a much better value.

Costed me 30,000 I believe it's a good value. Other cars are more expensive compared. I did not mind spending that amount
