The main one causing minor inconvenience with the car was a broken door mirror, caused about a long time ago by a courier driver opening his door about ten feet away and even with the best avoiding skill I could, still clipped him slightly. Managed to tape and glue it together, as I thought I'll just replace it without going through the insurance.

Yeah ok then, £1k...

So here we go - another Spuffington ownership blog to pepper these pages with!

Here we have my 2016 F22 228i M Sport which I collected on 4th November from Barrets BMW in Ashford as an AUC with 41,642 miles on the clock. For tech boffins, the engine is the 2 litre, turbo'd inline 4 cylinder N20 which is also found in the 220i. In this car it's in a higher state of tune. Some 242bhp which is good for around 5.8secs to 62mph...

our new BMW 225 XE (Mar 2019) has a 3 pin plug in cable to charge. We plan to buy a new cable to charge at the charge points around the country and are installing a charge point at our home.

Which cable should we buy? Thanks in advance for any tips or insights

I am not really concerned anymore with power and speed, more a smooth quiet ride with efficiency nowadays, this is what put BMW on the final shortlist this time round having never owned one before.

While I am trying not to get obsessed with economy, the amazing technology on such a modern car makes it quite interesting to see what can be achieved. The car is also the most powerful...

I just bought an automatic 2 Series 228i.

It seems to accelerate slowly off the mark until it gets into second gear and then it is lightning quick.

As it stands I have only driven it for a short amount of time, and in comfort mode.

Will it accelerate quicker off the mark in sport mode?]]> 13 Sat, 06 Mar 2021 14:39:12 +0000 https://www.bmwland.org.uk/index.php?threads/bmw-2-series-228i-spec.3932/ https://www.bmwland.org.uk/index.php?threads/bmw-2-series-228i-spec.3932/ invalid@example.com (LexB89) LexB89
I'm looking at buying a BMW 2 Series 228I.

Initially I was looking at a 2015 but now thinking about a 2016.

On auto trader the adverts for the 2015 says 0-60 @ 5.8 seconds.

I've just seen an advert for a 2016 but it says 0-60 @ 8 seconds.

Are both 228i models 5.8 seconds or is the 2016 slower?]]> 21 Sun, 06 Dec 2020 21:05:51 +0000 https://www.bmwland.org.uk/index.php?threads/my-other-2-series.2531/ https://www.bmwland.org.uk/index.php?threads/my-other-2-series.2531/ invalid@example.com (Madmoggy) Madmoggy We asked for them not to wash it, so there was...

At 410 miles, showing 1/4 left, it was 45.9 actual, the car showing 49.1. So the usual 10% over estimation that most trip counters display. It has been in eco-pro (with s/s disabled) most of the time and showed a 'gain' of 28 miles.

I'd say half urban commute of 6 miles each way, the other half having an hour-ish journey at each weekend leisure trip. This reflects the...

May be a 'holiday' influenced bias, seeing them in the Highlands, but they are out there all the same.

Anyone else noticing them?

Running it, niggles, servicing.

Looking to purchase another car this year after selling my 330d.
The 2 series coupe seems to be quite a car & the 35i gets high praise.
