BMW's M235i Revealed Via Leak
BMW’s replacement for the 1-Series has been revealed in its M form courtesy of leaked photos posted to an online forum after a dealer presentation, according the lads at Autocar.
The M235i seen in the photos is as how the smallest BMW will appear when the 2-Series debuts in showrooms next year, with the 220i and 220d filling out the ranks. The M variant will be driven by a turbocharged 3-liter I6, pushing 322 horses out the back door with 332 pounds of tree-pulling power from 0 to 60 in just under 5 seconds; top speed is 155 mph.
The 2-Series overall is longer than the 1-Series it will replace, providing more comfort and cargo room for potential buyers to consider. The collection has been engineered to accommodate both rear- and four-wheel drive, as well.

- ToolGuy I'm considering purchasing a few new Aston Martin vehicles.
- Spamvw 13 spoke rims from a 2005 Golf, I approve, as I have them on my '02 JSW TDI that hit 480k today.

- Kcflyer On the bright side I just saw a commercial where the army is advertising the fact that women are now part of tank crews. I'm sure the compromises necessary to put women in front line combat arms won't in any way weaken our armed forces ability to win wars in the future. But, hey, at least that new BYD SUV will cost more, thanks uncle Joe.
- User This story fails to cite any regulation or trade journal to support the claim that a law suddenly prevented the sale of a product in a market.

Umm, guys... have you seen how these cars are made? There is nothing cheap about a BMW... even the entry level ones are $$$. If you don't want to pay for one, don't buy one. Just stop the whining please. They are phenomenal cars and you know it ;)
Why axe the 1? Marketing is just running wild at BMW. I don't get it.
