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.

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.
