If this is priced at $300k, I think no one will buy the A45AMG (unless they need 4 doors). Sale of the 435 is gonna be affected too.
Going for it Reeve?
think only diff is 4wd vs rwd , and sg is always raining, 4wd is really handy. price is below 300k but I will wait for the M235i cab to swop over my wife car he he.T6;1069929 said:I wonder how much premium will it be over stock M235.

does the front bumper look the same as the video I posted?J..;1070654 said:Yup comes with lots of M sport stuff as standard ... Just like the M135i.
M performance will be either option or purchased from the catalogue.

chesterchong;1070664 said:it looks exactly as the first video that you posted, same as the red car.
if you want the m235i to look like the white one in the second video, those are additional aerodynamic options to add on.

Wah, didn't know front rotors are that big on M235chesterchong;1070668 said:FYI to all, front brakes for M235i is 370mm
totally agreed, the M235i was much better than M135. The drive even feels better than A45 even though it using a 8speed auto ZF gearbox instead of DCT. I can feel the torque on my butt in sport setting. Rear seats should be 3 instead of 2. And it not very spacious maybe just abit bigger than my wife Mini S. But price should be nearer to M135 would be prefer. Cheers.clar;1073553 said:Dropped off the M5 for servicing at MA this morning and went for an adhoc test drive of the M235i. It was a quick drive, but I went away with a smile. It's a nice little package with a responsive and accurate steering, zippy engine, and nimble handling. The steering could use a bit more feedback, but not bad at all for an EPS. It looks a country mile better than the M135i. At the asking price of $253,800, I must say MA has priced this car pretty competitively. I hope it sells like hot cakes for them
