BMW M235i gets back on the horse

Back in June when we brought you our last update on the BMW M235i it was a rather sorry tale of metal on metal. We much prefer these latest shots showing the sporty 2 Series coupé being tested at the Nürburgring. Mostly because that reminds us that it should be a cracking drive and that […]

BMW M235i to launch facial reconstruction

With the global success of the M135i you’d reckon BMW’s brief for the 2 Series version would be simple: Take the designers of the 1 Series out the back and give them a good flogging and send the engineers to the pub for some celebratory drinks. And it could just be that that is precisely […]

Punter shows BMW how to design a car

The front end of the F20 1 Series is awful. The M135i makes a small improvement, but it’s still no match for the much easier on the eye treatment on the M235i. Which begs the question, why didn’t BMW just get it right the first time? And why have they left it so long to […]

The BMW M2 and its 275kW power claims

This is inline with previous reports we’ve posted: There’s been no change to the predicted power source, which means you can pencil in around 370–380PS (272–280kW) being offered from an N55B30T0 3.0 litre […]

We’re always happy to follow the gestation of a new M product and here’s one of the latest snaps of a BMW M2 prototype in testing. Obviously all that crazy camouflage makes it hard to see, but if you plant your eyes just behind the front wheel arch you’ll see how much the front guard […]

BMW M2 spied making friends with the M3

The latest batch of BMW M2 spy pics have hit the interwebs and as you can see they brought a new M3 along for the ride. Despite the use of BMW’s noted camouflage vinyl it’s expected the M2 will get a more aggressive body kit than what we are seeing here, which is basically M235i […]
