Known for its balance of brisk performance and practical comfort, it stands out in the world of sensible sports coupes. The M235i blends strong straight-six turbocharged power with classic rear-wheel drive. Launched as part of the BMW 2 Series range from 2014 to 2021, it stepped up from regular 2 Series models with upgraded brakes and suspension, making it genuinely engaging on UK backroads. Compared to rivals like the Audi TT or Mercedes A-Class AMG models, the BMW leans into subtle styling, a well-built interior and solid practicality – all with just the right amount of excitement. Today the M235i is remembered for its smooth 3.0-litre engine, excellent manual and automatic gearboxes and a strong balance between speed and practicality.
