The BMW 228i Is The Best Enthusiast Bimmer You Can Buy - Jalopnik

At 240 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque, this is one of the best four-cylinder engines on the market right now. Also, unlike that particular M235i, this 228i was equipped with a six-speed manual. Yes, the 8-speed ZF automatic is one of the best gearboxes in the world, but having driven both I can tell you the manual is better. The manual just suits the character of the 228i so incredibly well – not that it's a surprise. Source: jalopnik.com
