    Questions about a 2016 m235i (turbo blow off & iDrive)

    I'm on the west coast of Canada and am looking at a 2016 m235i with a manual transmission. This is a weekend / fun car. The carfax has two repairs (front right for ~$5k and rear for $1.8k) and looks like all maintenance is up to date and done at a local BMW dealer (~60,000km on the car).I have a few questions I was hoping you all could help with:


    1) I have driven an m235i with the 8-speed and didn't once notice the turbo blow-off sound (that psssst) really at all. When I drove this 2016 with the stick I noticed this almost every time I let off the throttle. Is this normal?
    2) It is a bare bones m235i - so no nav, small screen, no sunroof, no upgraded stereo. Speakers I can upgrade but what about the iDrive? Are there aftermarket solutions I can swap in? Is Android Auto a possibility?


    Appreciate any advice!

    I-drive is junk,so missing it and slick top are a bonus. Get upgraded speakers and enjoy what you will have - a simple, manual, M car that will be lighter and more fine to drive
