Love the comparison to the e46, was hoping this vehicle would be nearly identical in size to an e46! Love the size of mine, ready for something new but with similar dimensions.

i agree! i hope the xdrive variant of the 1er comes stateside, then ill get my e46 sedan back and with better gas mileage.

I'd rather just get a mint e46 M3 for half the price

PaulBailey@ltbmw · 10-09-2013, 01:02 PM

Awesome car! Can't wait

psuibmw · 10-09-2013, 01:02 PM

Is this a real picture of the 2-series?

amdmaxx · 10-09-2013, 01:02 PM

Unladen to DIN/EU: 3297 lb (manual) / 3240 lb (auto) / 1455 kg (manual) / 1470 kg (auto)

This doesnt add up...

should be 3197 lb for manual?

Yes these are real pics from a photo shoot a while back. But b/c they are from a distance and the entire car isn't completely revealed, who knows if it will look good or fugly

Yes, real M235i caught a few months ago.

Awesome comparison!

I was framing it up against the E46 M3 earlier today - amazing how similar they are.

Thanks!

HP Autosport · 10-09-2013, 01:29 PM

It's somewhat of a good comparison, but M235i is not M.

Dimensions, weight and even power outputs might be similar, but the suspension will never be M like. Just look like the difference in suspension between the E9x M and non-M, they are a world apart.

hk328 · 10-09-2013, 01:43 PM

I could be mistaken. I thought N54 (in case of 335is) was twin turbo whereas N55 is twin scroll single turbo?

You are correct !

BwoodBMW · 10-09-2013, 01:49 PM

M235i GranCoupe could be a really awesome little 4 door.... That would be a car I could open my wallet for.... even though its probably lightyears away.

AtlantaDude · 10-09-2013, 01:51 PM

Awesome Comparo! Thank you for working this out for us! I can't wait to see this thing IRL. I've already started saving $$ for it. Hopefully we'll have more details regarding an M2 model if it's in the pipeline by then.

BwoodBMW · 10-09-2013, 01:52 PM

further point on M235iGC, Here in los angeles people are already really hyped up about the AMG CLA.... Benz is going to sell a bajillion of those things and having seen the car in person I think its very awkward looking (although I think the interior is phenomenal). Too bad BMW is a year or more behind getting out a compact 4 door drivers car.

3M TAPE · 10-09-2013, 02:04 PM

M235i looks promising, looking good.
Although I am digging E46 M3 and 135is

fndrsn · 10-09-2013, 02:04 PM

Looks like the 2 is gonna have the same problem as the E82, it's virtually the same damn height as the hatchback and taller than the F32 as the E82 was taller than the E92. The height really ruined the proportions of the 1 coupe and although the car is much prettier now, I can't see how it'll be any better if it's still so high ¬_¬

This is what I know:

335is (N54)
135is (N55)
Z4 35is (N54)

Thanks for doing this comparo by the way

3_runner · 10-09-2013, 02:57 PM

... Is it strange that I want the hatchback more?

avsbmw · 10-09-2013, 03:25 PM

I like how this compares to the E46
