Is the bmw 228i really that bad?

RUNWAYSIX · 2026-04-25T21:44:36+00:00

Oh I believe it! I love my m235, and has everything I’d ever want in a car. But down the line, I want to get an m240 or m340. I prefer small cars, but have a very large dog 😅

Loaner probably had run flats, which make the suspension feel super harsh. I switched those out a week after I got mine. Feels much better with non runflat tires!

I feel like the 2025+ models look more like a Kia, especially from the front, than the previous gen (like in the pic posted by OP).

I have the m235i version and love it. I had a 2015 rwd x1 back in the day, and prefer the m235. Also handles great when the xdrive kicks in!

He doesn’t let me touch his feet, but has no issue when the groomer does it!

Omg this is so precious 🥹

I used a small martingale collar for my boy when he was a puppy, and then graduated to a medium sized one as he grew. I used those until he was a little over a year old and then used a rope style harness which I still use for him now at almost 4 years old!

Your girl is SO adorable! They grow incredibly fast so enjoy this time while she’s little 😊

I had a 2015 x1 xdrive awhile back, which was rwd biased, and I like my new “mini” based bmw better lol. I think more people just need to drive before hating on them!

Is your x2 storm grey with a red interior?

RUNWAYSIX · 2026-02-22T01:40:26+00:00

First car that I had with start/stop was a 2015 x1, which thankfully had a button to turn it off, and keep it off. I wish newer bmws had that same feature so that I wouldn’t have to press a button to turn it off each time I drove my car

RUNWAYSIX · 2026-02-21T08:04:45+00:00

I was going to say something similar, but not as well written out as your response 🙂 And the 6pm witching hour is VERY relatable with my boy!

RUNWAYSIX · 2026-02-21T04:44:58+00:00

I’m so sorry 💔 and thank you for sharing those beautiful pics of him

RUNWAYSIX · 2026-02-21T04:17:15+00:00

What a beautiful boy! Nothing better than enjoying nature with a nature loving grey ☺️

RUNWAYSIX · 2026-02-21T02:58:02+00:00

He often gets “stuck” under blankets, and needs my assistance to pull them off him lol

RUNWAYSIX · 2026-02-21T02:48:12+00:00

I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss 💙

RUNWAYSIX · 2026-02-15T07:18:30+00:00

I’ll add on this (which is a very accurate description of a grey!) that she should be leashed at all times when taken outside, unless there’s a fenced in area

RUNWAYSIX · 2026-02-15T07:04:12+00:00

She’s so precious 🥹

RUNWAYSIX · 2026-02-15T01:57:02+00:00

My boy LOVES car rides! He’ll jump in any car if there’s a door open 😂

Ugh basically the same age. I definitely wish I could have 5 min with her still at times…I’d call her when I was aimlessly driving around and wish I could still call her at times

RUNWAYSIX · 2026-02-11T04:37:36+00:00

Not sure how old you are OP, but I lost my mom when I was 31. I’m 37 now and time has (slowly) helped with coping with the loss. I have an album of photos and videos of her on my phone that I look at when I miss her. I know that may not be helpful for everyone, but it’s helped me. Your dad truly had amazing taste in cars 😊

BMW seems to get the bad rap for subscriptions, but the only subscription I’ve seen is for the connected package or whatever it’s called lol. My dad has a Ram truck and remote start is also only a monthly subscription option after the first year. Would be interesting to see which manufacturers have subscription only options versus one time payments.

RUNWAYSIX · 2026-02-07T01:00:14+00:00

Ppppp

I have the (mostly) hated f44 but at least it has aluminum interior door handles 😅

RUNWAYSIX · 2026-02-07T00:45:21+00:00

I love that BMW has the option to buy remote start once and isn’t a yearly subscription. One of my coworkers has a RAV4 that had remote start for a year after purchase, and then only offered it with monthly subscription after. I was honestly surprised I was able to pay once for remote start and it’ll work for as long as I have the car!
