M235i caught undisguised

The highly-anticipated BMW M235i has been spied virtually undisguised during a photoshoot. Set to become the spiritual successor to the 1-Series M Coupe, the M235i has an evolutionary design which clearly echoes its predecessor. More notably, we can see the model will have little in common with the 1-Series that it is based on. Key styling changes include new bumpers, a revised grille and unique headlights. While the exterior will be exclusive to the 2-Series, the interior will be heavily influenced by the 1-Series hatchback. This means the M235i will likely be equipped with Hexagon/Alcantara cloth upholstery, a sport steering wheel and Aluminum Hexagon trim with Estoril Blue or high-gloss black accents. Like the M135i, the M235i is expected to be powered by a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine that produces 320 HP (235 kW) and 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) of torque. The hatchback accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 4.9 seconds, so expect the coupe to be a few ticks faster. The M235i is expected to go into production in November, so an official unveiling is likely just around the corner. Source: http://www.worldcarfans.com/11305165...g-a-photoshoot |
I see it doesn't have those side vents like the 4 series which is good IMO.
Why is the back higher up than the front though? |
About time
This may have to be the replacement for my 1 series in 2014-2015 |
Its going to be so easy to confuse a 1/2/3/4-series with a 1/2/3/4-series if they keep making everything look the god damn same.
|
nice
|
Is it coming to Canada or the N.American market?????
|
I'm surprised this hasn't generated more conversation. I actually really like the looks of it. I hope it performs on par or better than the current 135

^ Size is the difference .. the e90 is the size of the older e60 .. i wanted sometime the size of the e46 as a 3 series so this i235 would be perfect.
|
I liked the new look that BMW have given to this one.
|
Still not as sweet as an e30 or 2002.
|
2 series, 4 series... So confusing
|
I agree, while I like it I am also unimpressed on how it is all blending together now in terms of looks. And anything not the same like these X M GT whatevers they make are ugly.
It is a good generation in terms of power but how well the motors last and how ugly they can get or over expand the number of lines is yet to be seen. |
IDK size wise the "old" 135 coupe seemed more on a par with the much beloved e30 series than the more recent 3 series cars were. I kind of liked their "pocket racer" characteristics even if they did'nt necessarily deliver the goods on the dyno... [the 135 that is]... if only it were possible to get a "new" car without all the SRS, automatic this, traction aide that, blah blah blah crap... what I long for is a basic 4 wheels and a seat with an actual clutch manual as God intended car with no internet connectivity nav assissted car... why oh why can I not get one anymore?
