did anyone notice the white E92 M3 on the Nurburgring track in the background at 1min40? I think we can even hear it thundering around

CORRECTION: I just noticed that's not an E92 M3... what car is that? kinda looks like the M4 from that angle (obviously it's not because there's no camo)

Just put a down payment on one! I'll be trading in my 335is for the M235i WHENEVER it comes out....European delivery, etc....can't wait....well, I guess I'll have to!

Love the 335is....but it's just a bit too big for my tastes and the 4 is going to be even larger! I miss the immediacy and willingness to turn in exhibited by my old 128i. The 335is just doesn't turn with as much spirit. Faster? Yes. More fun? No.

Is it just me but this video compared to spy videos of previous m cars make this car look like it is on a lazy stroll. Just not a very fast pace!

I might be doing the same with my 335is, but the 2er better sound just as good and be quicker given its size. I'm really interested in the M2

I think my stock N55 sounds better than my 335is, even though it's much quieter. An N55 with a loud exhaust should be exactly my kind of car (I've never heard an M135i or any N55 with performance exhaust in person). I got a really short lease on my 335is specifically so I could swap into either an M235i or an M2 in about two years.

I came from a 135i and I feel the same way as the other guy about my 335is, it's a great car but it's definitely much lazier and less willing to change direction compared to the shorter 1 series.

I would probably wait for the M2, but it looks like BMW is currently taking their sweet time with their ///M models and I seriously doubt they'll release an M2 within the same year as the M4. Thus, I bet the M2 will be ~1 year after the M4. Maybe I'll trade the M235i in for the M2 when it finally arrives!

Off topic but I'm getting antsy;

When can you order a 2014 2 series?!

Anyone have any guesses?

I've seen the European build sheets for the F20, etc. I'm sure all of us in the states will get most all of these exterior/interior colors.

Aaahhhhhhh!!!!

I really like everything I'm seeing about the m235i. Front end is looking awesome, the character line in the side looks great, reminiscent of an e92 kind of, tail lights look like they will be an evolution of LCI e82 lights which I love.. and dual tailpipes, headlights look bang-on, new interior is like nicely updated e82. Etc etc etc.

I think this is going to be THE Bimmer to have short of paying up for a 4er++

European delivery #2?? So excited.

My guess is that you could start the process pretty early--I plan on having the discussion with my dealer this summer, just to see what he recommends in terms of timing.

Because my E82 lease ends in December, if I get an M235, it will have to be as soon as they starting landing in the US. They are scheduled for production in November, so they should be hitting the US in early January...

You can already put a down payment on one through dealers. I've already done so....and I wasn't the first. But I was the first to ask for Euro Delivery!

My dealer told me that the initial order sheets won't be out until a few weeks after its debut, which is expected at the Frankfurt Auto Show. So expect late Sep to early Oct for the full order sheets to be available. Of course, no one knows exactly when it will debut, so it could be earlier or later.
