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 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!

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.

At the exterior, the German tuner opted for a carbon fiber body kit with a front lip spoiler, side skirts, 18-inch forged wheels with Dunlop SportMaxx RT tires, a rear diffuser and wing.

A revised cooling system as well as upgraded brakes are available. Power is offered by a tweaked 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo engine delivering 444 horsepower and 600 Nm of torque. The additional 118 hp and 150 Nm of torque enable the BMW M235i RS to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,3 seconds.

The extra power was obtained thanks to a sports exhaust system and an aluminum oil pan while a revised six-speed manual transmission adds to the list too.

Inside, buyers will get Recaro seats with six-point seat harnesses, a sport steering wheel, carbon fiber trim and a roll cage for extra safety. The BMW M235i RS by Tuningwerk costs €65,000 with the order book being already opened.

We’ve already showed you the model in its early development stage but now Manhart revealed full details and photos.

At the exterior, the German tuner opted for a yellow finish, carbon fiber front and rear splitters, 19-inch alloy wheels with 225/35ZR19 (front) and 255/30ZR19 (rear) Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. An adjustable coilover suspension comes handy on the circuit as well as the uprated braking system with six-piston calipers.

Power is offered by a reworked 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo engine producing 430 horsepower and 592 Nm of torque.

The additional power of the BMW M235i Coupe was obtained thanks to a reworked ECU, an improved turbo boost and a larger intercooler. Inside, buyers will get sport pedals, new gauges, a roll cage and Recaro Pole Position seats with four-point harness.

Versus Performance, while waiting to get their hands on an M2 (like most tuners out there), did a nice build on the M235i.

The resulting build unleashes 408 Hp on the streets, a considerable amount for now. Torque was also improved, now bringing in numbers like 590 Nm. In short, the N55HP engine was properly put to work, and if I were a betting man, I’d bet there is still more power to be drawn from it.

Apart from the engine upgrade, Versus performance also fitted the BMW M235i with a brand new pair of suspensions, courtesy of KW. As for the aesthetic part of the build, the tuner only bothered to install new 19 inch BBS CH-R Motorsport wheels, as well as some carbon fiber trims (front spoiler, rear diffuser, trunk spoiler, mirror caps and exhaust tips). Not that it needed more.

But while the BMW M235i was still the highest you could have gone without aftermarket improvements, Tuningwerk came out and presented their version of the M2.

Thanks to a lot of fiddling, the BMW M235i now develops a respectable 444 Hp and 500 Nm of torque. But exactly what did Tuningwerk do to the Bimmer? Popping the hood will reveal a nice new turbocharger, a complete new cooling system, with radiator, oil cooler and all that good stuff, another heat exchanger, a remapped ECU and a brand new exhaust.

Moving on, we find that the BMW M235i is equipped with a new flywheel for the gear box, Brembo brakes and KW suspensions. The passenger’s hub has new Recaro seats, some stiffening struts and a new steering wheel. The list is not complete by far, but just to make an idea of the build. And to make sure we appreciate the effort, we also have some nice footage of the vehicle.

For car makers like BMW, this is more of a place to showcase their vehicles under a different guise, as they don’t purpose build such machines.

The 2014 iteration of the gathering is almost upon us, and BMW has revealed what we should expect of them. The most important and newest addition to the bunch will be a BMW M235i transformed into a paramedic vehicle. While we can all agree that it does look quite impressive, some might say it could lack in functionality.

Truth be told, as a first response vehicle, the M235i could do quite well, as it is small and spiffy enough to get to an accident and stabilize possible victims before a bigger vehicles arrive to transport them to a hospital. The Paramedic BMW M235i make fit right in with the other project BMW will be displaying, like the F15 BMW X5 Paramedic SUV or BMW X1 Fire Command vehicle.

Manhart recently teased a project involving the M235i, and after some questioning, the tuner confirmed they are going to work on the BMW M235i.

The resulting monster will be called the MH2 400, and just as the name would suggest, it will be sporting 400 Hp under the hood. Of course, that is not all that is to the build, as it takes a lot more tech to put that power down, so a few other additions were also confirmed by Manhart.

This means new suspension courtesy of KW, home built exhaust and a nice new set of wheels and brakes, while QUAIFE provided the rear differential, which locks up to 100%. The information is not complete, but for a preview, we have enough to make up our minds about the build and I, for one, already like the MH2 400.
