M235i at BMW Welt (and more)
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com I've been to the Welt today to see how the M235i looks in person. And it really looks incredible, I can tell you! The first "meeting" though, was on the Autobahn as we drove towards Munich. A white M235i overtook us: So as we got to BMW Welt we went straight to the main attraction! Melbourne Red suits the car perfect IMO. I think it makes it look a bit sportier than the white one, but tastes are different. And I have to say that you really can't capture the colour in pictures. It looks so much deeper in person! Here are a few shots. Then we headed back to the center of Munich and what stopped at a red light (Sakhir Orange F80 M3)?! [See Sakhir Orange F80 M3 Photos] A Yas Marina Blue M4 was also driving by, but I couldn't take a pic. They sound awesome! Like a race engine! There were also two X5M, a 4 Series Gran Coupe, a 2 Series Active Tourer and two i8 all in camouflage. So if you want to see some new cars, go to Munich!! |

Great pics!
Quick question--what was your impression of the wheels on the M235? They don't appear as "dark" in these pictures, which I am guessing is because of the amount of light that is present in the Welt.

Great shots! Really does look nice in Red...but I'm still drawn to the Estoril Blue.
Question, anyone know if we can get those fins in the front bumper air ducts that the Euro models have? I actually like them in there! Not sure why the heck they removed them for the US market.

I'm sorry but the rear end of this car just looks terrible in every photo. Like a fat face (with skinny tires). I do like the door panel lines and the bottom aero of the front bumper though.

The more I see the M235i the more I am in!! Love the lines and it appears the performance will be great. Looking forward to seeing it in person and of course driving it.
