Used BMW M235 for sale

As part of the BMW 2 Series, the M235i gets standard stability and traction control, multiple airbags, parking sensors and brake assist. Older models may lack some of the latest aids like lane-keep or adaptive cruise, but strong Euro NCAP ratings on the 2 Series as a whole provide peace of mind.

The M235i uses a 3.0-litre straight-six turbocharged petrol engine, producing around 326hp. Both manual and automatic transmissions were offered. Other 2 Series models came with smaller engines, but the M235i always features this celebrated six-cylinder unit.

Most M235i models come with BMW’s iDrive system, which includes a colour screen, Bluetooth, sat-nav, DAB radio and USB. Dual-zone climate control, leather seats and parking sensors are usually standard, with options varying by year and trim.

The official combined fuel economy figure for the M235i is 34.9mpg for the manual, with the automatic slightly higher. Real-world figures can drop in spirited use, but for this level of performance, it’s competitive.

It’s wise to check for a full service history, especially for the engine and turbo components. Listen for any odd noises from the suspension and ensure all tech features work properly. A professional assessment such as The AA Vehicle Inspection can provide added reassurance.

The M235i is generally robust, with its engine known for strong longevity if serviced regularly. Most reported issues are minor and relate to electronics, but overall this is a dependable sports coupe if looked after.
