BMW Series 2 Gran Coupé M235i, the bigger brother of the model arriving in Los Angeles

Following the recent presentation of the BMW Series 1, the upcoming Los Angeles Motor Show will be the stage for the unveiling of the new BMW Series 2 Gran Coupé. The German brand wants to complete its line-up based on the new modular UKL2 platform. This platform has been used to shape the entry-level model of the range BMW and also this new model, which abandons the three-door body style.

The new platform will accommodate other models from the brand, although these two models are the first to use this architecture. The direct rivals the BMW Series 2 Gran Coupé M235i will face are the Mercedes CLA and the Audi A3 Sedan, so we know what to expect from this model.

For now, not much is known about the equipment the car will have, but on the 2addicts forum they have published the first images of the BMW Series 2 Gran Coupé in its M235i configuration, and we can see some details of the bodywork, which is what they show us.

Starting with the front fascia, the kidney grille is ready to offer a more aggressive and attractive look, together with headlights that reinforce the intention of offering a sporty, muscular car. The air intakes are those of a BMW M Performance model. As for the alloy wheels, they are supported by high-performance brakes with blue calipers, matching the body colour.

The sides look quite aerodynamic and the roofline slopes toward the rear, which will not offer much headroom to passengers in the rear seats. The rear also has distinctive features and features a light bar framing a twin exhaust, separated by a diffuser.

Inside, the similarity with the BMW Series 1 is noticeable, and although we do not yet have the details of the technological equipment, it is assumed to be very similar, if not identical, to that of this model. We also know this variant will be powered by a 2.0 Turbo engine delivering 306 CV and a maximum torque of 450 Nm. Soon we will know more about this model and we will be able to enjoy images of other versions, such as the BMW Series 2 i228, which will have an engine producing 228 CV and a maximum torque of 349 Nm.
