Last Monday, BMW officially took the cover off of their 2014 2 Series at the 2014 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS).   Now, those looking to get a closer look at the successor to the 1 Series have the opportunity to do so through the 2014 BMW 2 Series configurator.  Pages for both the 2014 228i and M235i allow for fine tuning down to the most minute details.

For an additional $3,000, you can add the M Sport package; upgrades include 18” M light alloy double-spoke wheels, M sport suspension calibration, M sport steering wheel, aerodynamic kit, rear spoiler, Shadowline exterior trim, and sport seats.

An extra $2,300 will get you the Sport Line trim, which includes Anthracite headliner, door mirror caps in black, 18” light alloy double-spoke wheels, M sport suspension calibration, sport seats, and an increased top speed limiter.

As this is an M Sport vehicle, you don’t have the option of determining a trim line with the M235i.  The M235i has a base MSRP of $43,100 (plus $925 destination and handling fee) and comes standard with a 3.0-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo inline six-cylinder engine and rear wheel drive configuration.  The M235i is only offered with a manual transmission.

Your 2 Series configurator experience here begins with color configuration.  The Alpine White non-metallic option is the only choice that will not set you back the additional $550 required for a metallic hue.  Metallic paint options include Mineral White Metallic, Glacier Silver Metallic, Black Sapphire Metallic, Melbourne Red Metallic (pictured), Mineral Grey Metallic, and Estoril Blue.
