The BMW M235 at a glance

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.

Pros

  • Icon - tickThrilling 3.0-litre turbo performance
  • Icon - tickComfortable enough for daily use
  • Icon - tickSolid BMW build and technology

Cons

  • Icon - crossRear seat space is limited
  • Icon - crossRunning costs can be higher

Hire Purchase (HP)

HP is a finance plan that allows you to spread the cost of the car by making monthly payments over an agreed term.

You make higher monthly payments than a Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) agreement, so that when you come to the end of the agreement you'll own the car.

Unlike PCP, there are no limits on mileage.

HP could be right for you if want to own the car at the end of the agreement, without the need to make a larger final payment.
