Breaking: BMW M235i Uncovered!

Advevo · 05-16-2013, 05:00 AM

Awesome car!

Very nice headlamps. The M2 with wide body panels like the 1M would look incredable on this car.

Now lets hope for a nice 6 cil in the M2.

tony20009 · 05-16-2013, 05:16 AM

Looks good.

Probably what the e92 should have looked like.. Looks to be the perfect size for back road fun!

DASHOCKER · 05-16-2013, 06:30 AM

this car looks fantastic! bravo bmw for giving us fresh product!

Juswokap · 05-16-2013, 06:34 AM

The headlight looks terrible.

Imola.ZHP · 05-16-2013, 07:04 AM

NICE!

Lets keep it small and light (e46 sized) and release a Grand Coupe version available in Imola Red!

Frank_NJ · 05-16-2013, 07:06 AM

Looks great now just the wait till I can order it!

ATX78703 · 05-16-2013, 07:12 AM

Looks awesome! Really like the LED headlights. Front bumper looks CLA-ish to me.

wdeerfield · 05-16-2013, 07:13 AM

silver mirrors... what is this an audi? car looks great but i think if the lights met the grill, they wouldnt look so odd. maybe its just because i want to draw the line to the grill.

kdiggz · 05-16-2013, 07:24 AM

Good, looks more e92ish than e82. Glad it doesn't have the big ugly headlights and smooshed face like the renders. Now we need the M2

Yep they are trying to copy Audi now for whatever reason. That and the new numbering system (3 series = 4 door, 4 series is 2 door just like Audi 4 is 4 door 5 is 2 door etc)

b33g33 · 05-16-2013, 07:33 AM

Wow. This looks much better than I expected. I would go as far as to say that this is actually pretty.

There may be an M2 coming to keep my 1M company after all!

BMW obviously spends resources trying to come up with good product names. What is a good name? One that allows them to make more money than they would have if the name wasn't as good, enough to offset the money they spent in coming up with that name.

So after years and years of speculations and rumors, BMW finally went for the 4 series nomenclature. It's clear that it wasn't a rash decision, but a very carefully calculated one. So all that time and effort spent, they would expect the new name to improve their bottom line. This doesn't necessarily mean that the price would go up, but when you combine the increased number with the rhetoric about "exclusivity" that they have been spreading, and it's not hard to guess what they are trying to pull.

I can assure you there is no guess work in my post.

JohannesK. · 05-16-2013, 07:47 AM

Beautiful car and trust me the M2 is getting a pretty nice 6 cil

but i think there will be no Grand coupe of the 2 Series

In real the 2 series is looking AWESOME and it looks much bigger than the old 1 series coupe

sparoz · 05-16-2013, 07:59 AM

I am somewhat disappointed with its size. Other than that looks good. It had truly fill the gap where the old 3er coupe used to be.

jaaz · 05-16-2013, 08:03 AM

Apologies if this has been answered, but is there going to be an M235i cabrio? Or only a 228i cabrio? Will the cabrio(s) go into production in January like the coupes? Thanks.

US///M3 · 05-16-2013, 08:15 AM

Stunning!
So glad it doesn't have the exposed twin kidney grills.

Really? How so? Personally, I see a lot of Zagato Coupe in the shape.

FotiosF90M5 · 05-16-2013, 08:54 AM

Does anyone know if this will come in a 4 door like the option on a M135i. It will be a perfect car for me. Reminds me of an e46 perf. Package.
