The BMW M235i, the first M Performance Automobile offered in the US, includes an
impressive list of performance enhancing features. This successor to the
successful 1 Series Coupe will continue the decades-long tradition of premium
sub-compact coupes with impeccable driving dynamics. The 2014 BMW 2 Series Coupe

The 2014 BMW M235i Coupe embodies the driving dynamics that are signaled by its
modified, aerodynamically optimized body design, and is propelled by the most
powerful gasoline engine developed so far for a BMW M Performance Automobile.
The inline six-cylinder with M Performance TwinPower Turbo technology generates
maximum output of 322 hp and accelerates the BMW M235i Coupe from 0 to 60 mph in
4.8 seconds, with the 8-speed sport automatic. Other ingredients in the unique
character of the BMW M235i Coupe include the interplay between engine output,
bespoke chassis technology and brake system as well as aerodynamic balance that
is achieved with hallmark M precision.
The vehicle concept of the BMW M235i Coupe responds to the desire of sporty
drivers for more driving pleasure without compromising on everyday usability.
Its handling properties are defined by impressive agility and precision, the
result of extensive modifications made by BMW M GmbH to the components involved
in maximizing the car's sporting ability. The precisely adjustable driving
characteristics of the BMW 235i Coupe reflect the expertise and experience of
BMW M GmbH in both motor sport and the development of high-performance sports
cars.
The 2014 228i and 2014 M235i will make their world debut at the 2014 North
