One of those models that used to impress everybody with its evolutionary and aggressive design is no other than the M235i from the 2-Series, which has recently received a set of new rims from well-known tuner HRE Wheels.

The technicians from HRE Wheels aftermarket shop are well-known for their customizations on BMW products, and their dedication have really paid-off, as orders from BMW owners are pouring in.

The model in question can be admired in the media gallery below with the plethora of M Performance Parts around the body, complemented now with the tuner`s new wheels.

Starting with the new aero part, the BMW M235i can be admired with new front splitter, side skirts, lip spoiler, blacked out kidney grilles and revised rear diffuser. Mechanically, the model is sitting on a new lowering kit as well, which provides a more aggressive look.

As for the car`s new wheels, we are dealing here with the HRE F15 FLowForm hot wheels, sized 18 inches and weighing just 19 lbs, providing thus increase stance and stability on the road.

As the tuner stated in a recent interview, the HRE F15 FlowForm wheels are TUV, JWL and VIA certified, and come with a two-year Finish Warranty, as well as with a Lifetime Limited Structural Warranty.

We are looking here at the ACL2 tuning kit, the model being highlighted in Dusseldorf, Germany at a Cars and Coffee event. The video below is also showcasing the car`s new kit and exhaust system with an impressive soundtrack.

The aero kit consists of wide styling elements, like wide fenders, bespoke front and rear bumpers with add-ons, while at the rear, the model received a massive and standout wing, increasing the car`s aggressive attitude.

As we can depict from the video, the model is also highlighted by the new exhaust system with new pipes, limited slip differential with Drezler diff lock, or ECU remapping, all of these increasing the car`s power under the hood.

The stock 3.0-liter S55 is now coming with 570 horsepower on-board, thanks to the aforementioned new mechanics. We don’t know the performance figures, but it is surely much faster than the stock model. Built for its own private collection, the tuner has also revealed that the customized model now costs an impressive 150,000 euros.

My question for today: is an M235i worth the pricing tag of 150,000 euros? I mean, for that kind of money you could get a Porsche Panamera all tweaked with gigantic power and other fine mechanics!

But we have seen it again at Geneva Motor Show, this time with its wheels on the ground, and with a whole list of details. And, my God…they’re sensational!

Let’s start with the body kit made by the german tuner from carbon fiber. It fits flawlessly on the 2 Series coupe, giving it a wide stance and, therefore, a visual stability. It includes a redesigned front bumper, completed by a splitter, two pairs of fins mounted on the wings, wide side skirts and a newly-designed rear apron with diffuser.

On the trunk, a thin, but aggressive wing gives us a hint about the dynamic performance the model is capable of. The engine hood presents a pair of vents for a better air circulation inside the engine bay, while the huge wheel arches widen the body by 140 mm, giving some space to the 20 inches wheels.

Onboard, a small display, hosted by one of the air diffusers, shows information about the boost pressure, oil and intake temperature, and several other useful data. The aluminum pedals and the redesigned steering wheel give a sportier look to the interior, while the carbon racing seats add style, while saving weight.

Now, let’s open up the engine’s hood to admire the real performer. In the M235i’s chest doesn’t beat the original heart anymore. It’s an M4 powertrain, with a modified ECU, a completely redesigned intake, made of carbon fiber, and a one-of-a-kind exhaust system. The result is impressive: 570 hp and 740 Nm of torque, which are enough to accelerate the M235i to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds. Top speed? 330 km/h.

If you find it irresistible, you won’t be glad to hear that it’s not for sale. But the producer estimates its price at € 149,000.

Such an example of a job well-done is this BMW M235i highlighted here in a video, the model standing on a trail and getting ready to be sent….perhaps to 2016 Geneva Motor Show?!?

The BMW M235i is the top of the line version of the 2-Series, the model fitting the same 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo inline six-cylinder unit, also seen underneath the M3 and M4 siblings.

The engine outputs 362 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque, allowing a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.8 seconds, when hooked to the 8-speed automatic transmission. This particular model is also expected to carry a power boost under the hood, but the tuner has not revealed any news on that matter.

From a visual standpoint, the BMW M235i is looking extremely aggressive with the custom front and rear aprons, heavily modified bumpers, aerodynamic flaps, custom door mirrors, wide rear wing, ACL2 inscription on the sides, massive brakes and the huge five-spoke rims. All indicate a track-focused version.

We are definitely one hundred percent sure that we will be seeing the model displayed at the tuner`s stand in Geneva, starting next Tuesday! Meanwhile, enjoy the video with the hot model!

The power kit was carried out by the German folks from the famous G-Power tuner, and involves the fitting of the Bi-Tronik 5 V1 module, high-grade sports catalysts as well as the new free-flow air filters. All of them make it extremely powerful and fast.

We are dealing here with a power boost from 260 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque to an impressive 380 horsepower and 530 Nm of torque, while the newly unveiled 2016 BMW M2 Coupe churns out less, 365 horsepower.

This hot red BMW M235i is also standing quite good when it comes to performance figures. We are dealing here with just 4.5 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h. The car`s topping can also be raised from 250 km/h to 300 km/h thanks to the removal of the top speed limiter.

As you probably know, G-Power tuner isn’t used to customizing its models from a visual standpoint, so if you have such a powerful model at your door, just take it to Prior Design for instance, for a complete make-over.

And the guys from the Dahler German based tuning shop have decided to pay their respect and fitted this one-off BMW M235i Convertible with a power kit, which raises the car`s overall power.

We are talking here about a remapped ECU and the fitting of a stainless steel sport exhaust system which makes the engine roar more menacing.

In the stock version, the BMW M235i Convertible develops 326 horsepower, all squeezed from the same 3.0-liter inline-six TwinPower Turbo, but with the new power upgrades, the sports car is now capable of 390 horsepower, which is quite impressive.

The performance figures are also given: the new upgraded BMW M235i Convertible is capable of sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds, at a topping of a raised 288 km/h. This means that now, the M235i Convertible is quite closer to the all-mighty BMW M4, which runs the same straight line in 4.1 seconds.

Apart the power kit, the BMW M235i Convertible has also received a new set of 18-inch wheels and a new suspension, which improve the car`s driving capabilities and dynamics. Enjoy the short photo gallery with the BMW M235i Convertible by Dahler!

And their latest creation is indeed special, the aftermarket specialists managing to bring the BMW M235i to a whole new level in terms of customization.

A body kit is what the German tuner has proposed for today. One-off body parts on the front and rear, with updated spoilers, new side skirts and rear diffuser, fender extensions or the huge rear wing as an option choice. The overall body design is complemented by the HRE P44SC wheels, finished in Satin Black.

From a mechanical point of view, this great looking BMW M235i has received sport suspension, a new braking system, while inside, things were also becoming much sportier.

Manhart is also famous for its BMW power kits, and this one has not been left out. It has now been fitted with a new and more powerful intercooler, new engine software, or a custom sport exhaust system. The overall work can be seen in the car`s new straight-six turbocharged engine with 430 horsepower and 590 Nm of torque. The entire tuning program can be observed in the photo gallery below!

However, the smaller models get some attention too, something to be expected considering that this little coupe does the 0-100 km/h sprint in just 4,6 seconds. That’s thanks to a potent 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo unit offering 320 horses, an engine that has to power a smaller vehicle.

At the exterior, this Alpine White BMW M235i stands out thanks to the VMR V706 wheels finished in a nice Titan Bronze hue.

The multi-spoke wheels measure 19 inches and are the only parts that stand out in this black and white exterior theme. The German car sports new carbon fiber front spoiler lip, a black front grille, tinted windows and black side mirror caps.

VMR Wheels are not at their first package for BMW Models, the F30 335i being also spoiled with a new set of rims earlier this year.

To begin with, we will remind you that the BMW M235i packs a 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo engine producing 320 horsepower. The six-cylinder unit helps the car to hit the 100 km/h mark in 4,6 seconds, a quite impressive figure which makes us think about the upcoming BMW M2 and its performance numbers.

At the exterior, European Auto Source opted for a Black Sapphire finish with carbon fiber mirror caps, black kidney grilles and larger multi-spoke alloy wheels.

Besides the improved looks, the BMW M235i also received new M Performance brakes and H&R sport lowering springs that reduces the ground clearance. Enter the cockpit and you will find leather seats with a contrasting Coral Red finish, M Performance carbon fiber inserts, Alcantara and other minor tweaks.

The Coral Red finish has been applied to the door panels as well as the floor mats. With this been said, we are waiting for more details from European Auto Source on their new BMW M235i styling kit.

The guys at Daehler started their tuning plan by adding adjustable suspension to their build as well as spacers in order to increase the BMW M235i’s down force and overall aerodynamic structure.

Aside from the performance gain the car’s overall look is sleeker and more compact. Daehler has also installed a stainless steel sport exhaust system which contributes quite heavily to the performance increase.

Other upgrades include high performance ventilated brakes, intelligent dynamic analysis system integrated within the car’s computer so as to check each and every aspect of the BMW M235i and its performance on the road. The removal of the electronic limiter has also helped the car touch its limits, now reaching a maximum speed of 288km/h. The BMW M235i does 0 to 100 in a mere 4.2 seconds.

The vehicle in its stock form makes a statement, so imagine what that statement turns into when you have a 390HP variant of the same BMW M235i. The car is stunning both visually and performance wise, even more so considering the fact that not that many changes have been made.
