I like it a lot. I wonder how well it will cope with snow conditions.

Taillights kinda look like the ones on the 1 series

I wanted Fire Orange on the M235

Hey Scott, sorry to bother you, but do you have any information on how the LSD will be offered? According to the press release it will be available at launch. Will it be a M performance part or port install, etc?

Also, what about BMW performance seats for the USA? I heard a rumor that BMW was going to introduce new performance seats soon.

I assume they are saving it for the LCI model?

It says in the sticky'd official thread that it's going to be an M Performance Part.

Ramos · 10-25-2013, 07:50 PM

Does that mean you can't upgrade to these parts? You have to pay for the standard parts, then pay the full retail for the m performance parts, plus install? And keep the unwanted standard parts?

Mavus · 10-25-2013, 08:18 PM

Is it just me or the car looks bloated, especially the rear quarter panel. Overall a good exercise but they need to trim the fat appearance.

Just curious, what this word in your profile pic means?

It's Arabic for "infidel".

If that's the case then it's total bullshit! Who wants to pay for stuff you will never use. Why wouldn't it just be offered as a factory option!??

M perf brakes, exhaust, all that junk is available but the LSD is a dealer or port add on! Thumbs down.

Falafel Combo · 10-25-2013, 10:25 PM

The car sounds great in the launch control video. Does the M235i ship with a performance exhaust, or will that be an upgrade?

Diver · 10-25-2013, 10:45 PM

I believe this buggy has some significant improvements over my already very good 135i with PPK. Due to the newness of my car, I can't trade for one of these. Those who go to the track will probably notice the largest difference.

Gjm127 · 10-26-2013, 12:25 AM

At the end of the first video, they used the current E9X M3 exhaust sound to mimic the sound of the M235i.
I find this disgusting. I'm a fanatic of this sound and I can assure you that it's most SURELY a well muffled NA V8 sound instead of a Turbo I6 N55.

Listen at 2:33

Nordstat · 10-26-2013, 01:19 AM

Mirror covers = Audi S line. Meh...
Stupid little M badge on the fender is really out of place.

The rest looks great!

N & M · 10-26-2013, 03:15 AM

Love the Andy P ad but can't understand (sorry stand) the awful one with the Hollywood summer blockbuster stunt theatrics. Really BMW? Are we competing with the Camero now?

F80NJM3 · 10-26-2013, 04:08 AM

I'm trying to like this car.. I'm trying really hard, but just can't...

ORIGIN M. · 10-26-2013, 04:54 AM

M2 will not be in that price point

Awesome video, especially love the lighting transition at the end (although looks like inner headlamps are blank again), the car looks so much more grown up than the 1 coupe.

Is it wrong that I keep wondering what it would be like if Alpina made one and put in the D3 or B3 engine?
