Z35 motor theory

so kamzeelover doesn't have a 370 and doesn't know anything about the BMW which he supposedly wishes he could buy?

My friend actually ordered a 235 and will be doing European delivery in November. He was almost going to get a 228 until I convinced him to not be a wuss. Is the m235 really a M car? It' snot listed with the other Ms on the BMW website. I thought it was just basically a 2 series equivalent of the 335.

You may have done your friend a favor, he'll appreciate the extra power.

I'm not sure if it's a true M car in the BMW sense of the word, regarding it's suspension and driving manners but it's definitely more powerful than the 335i. Maybe DSTLR can chime in, as he has one. There is supposed to be an M2 coming out within the next year or so..

Is it more powerful than the 335? I thought they shard the same engine and my friend said the 335 wasn't much heavier, just a bit bigger than he wanted.

I'm pretty sure it's the same engine, just tuned differently. M235i, 320 hp, 330 tq. 335i, 300 hp, 300 tq. M235i is only about 60 lbs lighter.

The car magazine guessers are saying next M2 will come with an increase of approx 30-50 hp/tq plus a sportier suspension.

There are M packages like the M235i
And actual M cars like the upcoming M2 and current M4.

I like how Bmw separated out the M3 4 door and 2 door to have the m4 in attempt to make it easier to understand the model differentiation yet now it seems more convoluted then before.

Now we're talking about bimmers. Should this be in the "other car" section?
