435i
Length: 182.6 in / 4,638 mm (1 inch longer than E92 Coupe)
Width: 71.9 in / 1,825 mm (1.7 inches wider than E92 Coupe)
Height: 53.6 in / 1,362 mm (0.6 inches lower than E92 Coupe)
But visually, the 235i looks a lot longer than the 135i, even if it isn't. I suspect it's because of the lack of flared fenders that the rear proportions look wrong. So I still stand by what I said, the lack of fender flares makes the 2er look a lot more subdued and (IMHO) not as exciting as the looks of the 1er.
