![]() SPECS: Tuningwerk tuned N55 six cylinder making 450 PS (444 HP) and 600Nm (443 LB-FT) of Torque
BBK brakes Custom suspension Reprogrammed EPS steering 245/275 tires on 8.5/10.5 light weight rims (15/16 lbs) Custom LSD Special DTC and DSC reprogramming Over engineering the car's cooling system (water, oil, FMIC) Custom oil pan to withstand 1.5 to 2G's of corning with use of slicks. Prevents oil foaming now. And less than 1,500 kilograms (3306 pounds) ![]() This M235i drives so much better than a 1M. This IS what the next M2 should be. Don't take my word for it. I hear through the ///M grapevine that this M235i is 90% of what the next M2 will be like. ![]() I was really blown away by this car. At first it looks like a normal M235i. But the more time you look at it... the more things you spot about it being "different". This car has been put together so cleanly and tastefully. This is a serious track car that works on the street too. I was fortunate to be asked if I wanted a test drive... Hell YES! It drove AMAZING. I was most impressed by its steering response and turn in. And it had EPS steering, but reprogrammed by Tuningwerk. The power and brakes were as expected: great! But the steering is what I really liked about the car. We will have a full feature article on this car in the future. For now here is a small taste to whet your appetite. ![]()

It might out perform the 1M but it still lacks the looks for a true M car.
Needs the wide looking rear stance and the quad exhaust system that an M car has. I'm actually waiting for an M2. I was going to order an M4 but an M2 size will fits my needs better. |

Like the character stripe down the side.
What are the arrows actually pointing at? All the best.
