Enye yezinhlobo ezilindelwe kakhulu ezikhathini zamuva nje i-BMW M235i, ezolandela ngokomoya i-BMW 1 Series M Coupé. Zitholele izithombe zokuqala zemoto yezemidlalo entsha evela endlini yaseBavaria.
Amaminithi lapho i-BMW M235i yesikhathi esizayo eyadutshulwa ngawo amalensi angahlakaniphile ayemafushane kodwa anele. Kodwa ngenxa yombhalo wayo manje sesingakwazi “ukucupha” ukubukeka kokugcina kwenye yezimoto ezididiyelwe zaseJalimane ezilindelwe kakhulu: i-BMW M235i.
Ithathwa njengomlandeli wokomoya we-BMW 1 Series M Coupé, i-M235i ngokusobala iwukuvela komklamo nezixazululo zobuchwepheshe kusukela kweyangaphambili. Kodwa njengoba sibona kulezi zithombe, le BMW M235i ayinalutho olutheni olufana nohlobo ehlanganyela ngalo isisekelo sayo, isizukulwane samanje seBMW 1 Series. Yethula olwalo ulimi lwesitayela.
Uma ngaphandle idizayini iyintsha ngokuphelele, ngaphakathi kufanele silindele isethulo esifana ncamashi neseBMW 1 Series.
NjengeBMW M135i, siqagela ukuthi iBMW M235i iphuma nenjini efanayo engu-3.0 litre six-cylinder ekwazi ukukhiqiza amandla avuthayo angu-320hp kanye netorque engu-450Nm enkulu. Kulindeleke ukuthi isuke ku-0 iye ku-100km/h ngaphansi kwemizuzwana engu-4.9, ihlule umfowabo kaSerie 1 onenjini efanayo.
Njengoba ukukhiqizwa kuhlelwe ukuthi kuqale ngoNovemba, ukwethulwa okusemthethweni sekuzokwenzeka.
