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.

Yes, it does sound great.
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.

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.

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?

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. |

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.
