It has all it takes to transform a small coupe, like the 2 Series, in a cool looking sports car, adding extra wideness together with a bit of aggressiveness. But there’s a condition: don’t stop here! If you opt for this kit, you must also lower the ride, by buying a sport suspension kit, and match the wideness with a new, proper set of wheels. They must have a big diameter, to perfectly fit the wheel arches, and a specific wideness, to be perfectly aligned with the fenders line. And there you have a perfect looking car!

All you need is a BMW M235i, to reflect its looks under the bonnet. The new 3 liter twin scroll turbo, inline-6 engine, which delivers 326 PS and 450 Nm @ 1300 – 4500 rpm, can do miracles: 0-100km/h in 4.8 seconds and 1 km with standing start in only 23.8 seconds.

The kit consists of a custom made front bumper, with a spoiler lip, bespoke side skirts and fender extensions, redesigned rear bumper with diffuser and a boot lip spoiler. The kit is entirely made of Fiberglass – Duraflex, a fact that transforms it in one of the most affordable kits on the market.

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.

The German model received an exterior body kit incuding a new front spoiler, side skirts, new trunk spoiler and rear diffuser. Most of these components are made of lightweight carbon fiber, therefore, you should not worry about any performance alterations.

Interior changes are limited but a revised shift knob is offered by 3D Design.

According to the tuning company, all of the components are made in Japan so you should receive a very good quality kit. The Japanese company released no details about any performance tweaks, therefore, we assume that this is a styling package only.

More information on 3D Design’s F22 BMW M235i including pricing and availability details should be released soon.
