BMW M235i Racing video

SpokenHands · 12-08-2013, 10:55 AM

This has Herr Scott26 written all over it.
The sillier end of BMW marketing.
Pretty car, nice-ish sound. But you'll have to wait.

lasovan · 12-08-2013, 11:06 AM

holy sh*t! that's some thing!

TunedM2C · 12-08-2013, 11:09 AM

Sign me up for a M2!

ORIGIN M. · 12-08-2013, 11:44 AM

Mmm that's what dreams are made of...

That is absolutely the nicest bmw I've seen in a long time. Forget the 6er, 4er, this is just bad ass.

As the new M3/4 will i suppose!
Can't wait to see this.
Hopefully it can be released before 2015!

I've always had issues with the proportions of the F22, but this is just the aggressive treatment it needs to tighten up all those weird angles and bulbous protrusions. Very interested so far, and hopefully bodes well for an M2.

ROM3 · 12-08-2013, 01:23 PM

Ohh that's sexy!

Although I really love how it looks and sound.

It's a prototype still.

And damn, that's one sexy vehicle! M2 for sure is going to be very good.

P.S.: Anyone spotted that ZF slushbox? They're really pushing the autos in PR materials.

I just hope that the M2 is confirmed and released prior to me committing to the M235i. If what we're seeing morphs into the M2, then bugger me gently and take my money. But it really must be a six, I don't think a four pot will cut the cheese, even with tri-turbo.

seis-speed · 12-08-2013, 02:06 PM

OK, so how de we get that look? It seems like it has Mperformance parts that could be ordered with the 235? Obviously some things that are specially made. I want this car. Do I need to wait for an M2 or load up a 235?

BimmerMat135 · 12-08-2013, 02:08 PM

Does anybody know if this car is going to be street legal? It seem like to be a good option for a track day car.

Don`t get too excited about the sound of the M2 it should be much more closer to this

That what you can hear from the m235i racing.

btbossman · 12-08-2013, 02:11 PM

Oh thats me...please m2......please!

I will probably be in the market for a 1M after my current lease ends in 2015....so I call first dibs!

(this will be my 3rd time in 5 years shopping for a 1M. 'third time's a charm'?

Blindside_137 · 12-08-2013, 02:24 PM

OMGGGG

This is very exciting stuff

Seneca · 12-08-2013, 02:32 PM

Anyone else notice that the M235i Racing had an automatic transmission in the video? Kind of strange. Surprising they would even build even a test version of a race car using the automatic, though it is nice having the two extra gears.

agree but could be a dct (probably is the auto though)

M.barnes · 12-08-2013, 02:37 PM

Don't see why a racing car wouldn't have a gearbox that allows launch control, flat shifting, paddles etc etc.

B33merJohnnie · 12-08-2013, 02:40 PM

I love it... wish I had a 1M still, but can't afford it
