Breaking: BMW M235i Uncovered! BIMMERPOST NEWS BIMMERPOST NEWS Breaking: BMW M235i Uncovered! 334

Here is the M235i coupe, fully uncovered (save for the covering on the back). But, nearly the entire car is revealed here!



Non-fans of the F20 1 Series front design with its in-your-face headlights and blunt nose look will appreciate the much sportier 2 series coupe front end, with significantly sleeker headlights and grilles.



The front air intakes are large and aggressively shaped, with the fins that we spied in the



The side fender features an M badge, but no air breather vent as seen on BMW's newest models (4 series coupe, 3 series GT). Front and rear quarter panels looks similar to the F20 and the side mirrors are a contrasting silver, a color scheme which we've seen BMW implement before on the Z4 sDrive35is and



The headlights on this model are the optional LED with squared off corona rings. The tail lights' lighting elements remind us of the current 1 Series coupe LCI, with thick floating contrasty light bars.



Although the back remains mostly covered, we know that it will feature split twin black exhaust pipes, a trunk spoiler lip, and a black rear bumper diffuser.



Overall, the 2 Series coupe looks to be much sleeker and less pugnacious a design compared to the E82 1 Series coupe that it will replace at the end of this year.



The M235i will feature the same powerplant (N55 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder) and mechanicals as the much ballyhooed M135i hatchback, so expect approximately 315 HP.



The M235i and 228i both begin production this November. Unlike the M135i, the M235i will come to the US. There will be no 235i produced, as the M235i will take its place in the lineup.

As on the prototypes, the wheels are from the M135i, as are the blue M Performance brakes. Unfortunately, the hood shut line retains its position high above the kidney grilles. And as a big surprise, the headlights do not join the kidney grilles like other late model BMWs.The side fender features an M badge, but no air breather vent as seen on BMW's newest models (4 series coupe, 3 series GT).
