Typically BMW starts to build the new model year at the beginning of July.
Are 2015 orders still being taken or is it now 2016 model year?

My current BMW lease is up at the end of August so I need to make a decision soon.

Hopefully we'll see the 2016 pricing soon.

Well that sure is interesting. Big differences I've noticed so far...

Base price on the 228i is $750 more and M235i is $1050 more.
There's no sportline...
M-sport package is $500 less but doesn't include sport seats?!
Premium package is about $1000 less but doesn't include leather upholstery?!

What are they thinking? Am I missing something here?

Wow.. thanks Mike! Does this mean any order put in will be for the 2016? The effective date states 5/26/15.

On the M235i the premium pkg is now standard but doesn't include leather, that sucks cause the base price is already higher than the 2015.

If the leather option stays at the current $1450, then an equivalent 2016 build M235i with metallic paint, premium pkg, HK audio will cost $48,025, compared to $47,625 for a 2015.

The new M235i wheels have a dark color option.

Sport seats are now standard for every model. You can opt for non-sport seats if you get the luxury package.

Not bad at a $745 increase.

The metallic paints have gone up to $895 from $550, a big increase there.

The new M235i wheels are a dark color, which I don't like, and I don't like their design. This sucks and is not a good change.
I don't think I want to give BMW an extra $800 and get wheels I don't like.
I may have to quickly order a 2015!

The wheels stayed the same, right? Look at code 2PG. That's the gunmetal silver that's always been on them, I think.

So, sport seats standard but non sport seats available as part of luxury package. Interesting. Makes sense about dropping sport line. My dealer only seemed to order Msport or base.

Looks like you have a choice of two gray colors?

Yeah I mean I think it's an option. But I don't think the standard wheels changed.

You're right!.

For whatever reason when I first looked at the PDF I didn't see that last page.
Yes, the 2016 standard wheel is model 436M, code 2PG, which does look like the current model.

In the pictures the dark 436M wheels look very dark. Not for me, but it's great to have options.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Also, the metallic paint cost didn't go up.
Not sure where I got the $895 price from.

Thanks so much for posting the pricing and ordering guide for the 2 series... Any luck with the convertible pricing?

Thanks again!
