Naked BMW M235i spied sunning on the docks

Prior to today, all news regarding the upcoming BMW 2 series coupe has been shrouded in camouflage. However, thanks to an official BMW photo shoot, we can now see more than 90 percent of what the final product will look like when it hits showrooms. While the 2 Series will come in a lower output 240 hp 2.0 liter form, the thought is—because of the blue M-sport brake calipers, dual exhaust, and minute 'M' badge on the fender—that this particular car is actually the M235i variant. More than likely, the M235i will be powered by the N55 3.0 inline-6 with around 325 horsepower and will be transmitted through a 7 or 8 speed automatic. According to BMW there will be no lesser model 235i, as that space will be occupied by the 228i, and production for the 2 Series will begin around November 2013.
