BREAKING: M235i and 2 Series Specs Go Official!! 322hp for M235i

nicknaz · 10-08-2013, 10:39 PM

No LSD in options or standard equipment list is disappointing.

Hopefully it has the additional radiator and higher wattage radiator fan from the F30 335 M sport package.

Perhaps a BMW Performance item. And if the ring gear continues to be welded, you are looking at a complete final drive from BMW, not just a simply LSD add-on.

M235 available in xDrive?

This is going to depend on the particular market.

I like what I'm seeing here. Munchen next summer is starting to look tempting.

E46 M3
length: 4490
front track: 1508
rear track: 1525

M235i
length: 4454
front track: 1516
rear track: 1532

So a bit shorter than E46 M3, with a wider stance front and rear. I am liking this very much.

That's a straight conversion from South African prices. US pricing will be lower.

Or am I missing something?

That's SA pricing. Expect it to start around 38,000 US. Especially when a f30 335i starts at 42K US.

I still want the M2!!!

M3_WC · 10-08-2013, 11:18 PM

Just by comparing other models on both SA and USA site. Looks like the M235i should come in under 135is msrp.

ilya335 · 10-08-2013, 11:27 PM

Give me a LSD and I'm sold.

Jcp135 · 10-08-2013, 11:32 PM

i will definetly keep my 1M know!!!!

clar · 10-08-2013, 11:35 PM

Can't wait for the M2. It will be my ideal everyday supercar!

I'm also thinking it will be an M-performance add-on, so it won't show up in the options list.

Powaup · 10-09-2013, 12:13 AM

Wow thanks for sharing. Pretty sure they will make an M-performance LSD for this car but hopefully it doesn't cost as much as the carbon ceramic brakes

That will add a couple of thousand dollars to the MSRP for sure!

alexmtl_135i · 10-09-2013, 12:57 AM

Great news!! I can't wait for the M2 neither!

positiveions · 10-09-2013, 01:21 AM

It's going to be an awesome car.

monkawekrue · 10-09-2013, 01:22 AM

those leather options are pretty sick.

pazzo · 10-09-2013, 01:28 AM

I'm getting excited

Transfer · 10-09-2013, 01:36 AM

M235i is a very very cool car IMO. I would happily have one of these over a stupid 435i. If there is an M2, it will be very high on my list to follow my E90 M3 in about 4-5 years.
The link from OP is no longer directing to anything 2 series related. The page was probably taken down.

Eagle1oh7 · 10-09-2013, 01:46 AM

In 5 years I plan on getting a getaway car for my wife and I(10th Anni.) so now I have to decide between a CPO decent miles Porsche 911 Turbo or an M235i. Hmm...

michi · 10-09-2013, 01:47 AM

Omg I'm so excited
