Do not panic, but BMW added another digit to the collection : 2. As in series 2 The easy way to grok it as the successor to the 1 Series Coupe in America. Remember that most in Europe , the 1 Series has been on sale since 2004 , first as a wagon and a hatch. This has changed . If you need a refresher on the Bavarian numerology, odd Bimmers have four doors, and equalizes get two . (Except the car in question is a Gran Coupe, then it is an even number with four doors . And the X6 has four doors . Got it ?) Will there be a new 1-Series ? You can bet your weisswurst . The rumor is the next 1 Series will not be a four-door version of the series 2 , but will be a front wheel drive and based on the Active Sports Tourer Paris 2012 edition. Never in my life , I know. But we are not here to discuss the BMW product strategy. We are here to discuss the latest small sport bastard Bavaria, 2014 BMW M235i . This little sucker is a real product M Division ? No, not to be outdone by / next to the cash generated by the S line Audi , BMW now offers M Performance cars and dealer-installed parts! If you are asked to explain in one sentence , you can tell the M235i is the sportiest be 2 of the series that you can rent until PO2 decreases. Which brings us to the big question : What is it? The M235i is the updated engine Series 1 Series 2 Version - replacement , and you can get that from March 1 . There will be a 228i version featuring the family of I-4 2.0-liter turbo that spits forth 240 hp and 255 lb- ft of torque. The M235i has 3.0-liter I-6 turbo that cranks out 320 horsepower and 330 lb -ft of twisting force . Big numbers for a small cut . Both versions of the series 2 are equipped with a manual six-speed gearbox or the ubiquitous ZF eight-speed automatic

Dimensions, Series 2 is larger in every way than the coupe it replaces. Length increased by nearly three inches, while the width and wheelbase grow by 1.3 inches each . The track is wide , with more to 1.6 inches and 1.7 inches front to rear. The interior space is increased in each measure, and even trunk space has managed to grow by nearly a cubic foot to 13.8 cubic feet. Under the skin , the suspension remains McPherson struts at the front - Type and five -link rear , although BMW's engineers assured me that this is all new under there . More in the United States , each M235i get adaptive dampers so you can change the path characteristic Comfort Sport. For those of you in these things, you can really feel the difference in ride between the two damper settings . The car also has "M -specific chassis tuning " and " M Sport brake " and variable direction. They are even loading these releases with super Michelin Pilot Sport tires. However, if you are looking for a differential lock , it will cost you extra . How BMW did not say . The cars I drove had all open diffs and automatic transmissions.

Tight, muscular , curvy, and frankly just plain old hot - BMW has the appearance of a small sports car right equation. BMW has already begun mining its history by comparing the new 2-2002 . Not even in terms of design , except the line character -shaped cover which rotates about the M235i . This part is almost a little sorta reminds iconic 3 - box sports sedan BMW 1968. The front end is the most beautiful BMW face I do not even know when , and I love the little truncated buttocks. For the first time in years, here is a BMW worth buying on looks alone . Design chief Adrian van Hooydonk who should give it in his enclosure design that wrote the new Series 2 extra Starbucks card will come holiday time . They won their Frap . The looks are one thing, but how does lead smaller , sportier whip of BMW ? Wonderfully , I am very pleased to announce . High power in a small package is always a winning formula , and semi- diminutive M235i does not disappoint. I say " semi " because the weight - wise , I ventured that the M235i weighs much less than the 435i . A hundred pounds or more , I guess. Stomping on the gas from a rolling start slow produces a gratifying roar of the twin-scroll turbo that assimilates quickly into the tire smoke and fury of the front, and a big dumb smile. BMW claims 0-62 mph in 4.8 seconds , but I am confident that our team will crush test this issue . The maximum speed is limited to 155 mph. The fastest I 've seen on the oval of Las Vegas Motor Speedway is 135 mph , and M235i feel like a piece of solid oak Black Forest.
