The Best BMW You Can Buy is the Cheapest One. (230i)

It’s the cheapest coupe BMW makes. And it might be the only one worth buying. Modern BMWs have a problem: They are getting huge, heavy, and (let's be honest) kind of ugly. Enter the BMW 230i. It has a normal grille. It weighs 3,500 lbs. It feels like a go-kart. On paper, it's just a "base model" 4-cylinder commuter. But after testing it on the back roads, I realized this might be the last true "Ultimate Driving Machine" left in the lineup that doesn't cost $80,000. In this review, we break down why you should skip the expensive options and get back to basics. Follow The Merva Brothers: Instagram: @TheMervaBros TikTok: @TheMervaBros
