“Provocative”, “extroverted”, “muscular”. BMW sets the description of the M235i xDrive Gran coupe to stuff. How is he really on the streets?
The BMW M235i xDrive Gran coupe to join seamlessly into the in-house “M”variants*, the form is the sporty spearhead of the model series. Externally, the 4,53 meters long Compact suggests its Power, among other things, a narrow spoiler and two powerful exhaust tailpipes. Under the hood is a 306-horsepower gasoline engine -for powerful Power.
The strongest two-liter, four-cylinder BMW , in which the engineers drove the crank, reinforced pistons for a higher compression ratio is modified and the injectors have adapted to the higher pressure, also sits on the smaller M135i xDrive under the hood. And on the technical Basis of this smaller 1-brother, the 2 series Gran coupe is. Also there is now offered a six-cylinder and more.
Who’s why: The “small” four-cylinder leaves nothing to be desired, even by the Sound: When you Start grumbles and he snarls quietly, he can quite comfortably and quietly through the city. With a stronger pressure on the accelerator is a powerful feed , which is limited in the top only at 250 km/h, however, results in. On top of that, the two-liter roaring petrol engine in such a crisp, as one would roar over the Hockenheim ring.
Okay, the Sound volume does not approach, of course, to a six-cylinder. But at least the four-cylinder engine is less thirsty. We arrived at the Test of the Topsportlers on a section of 8,8 l / 100 km . Still a lot in today’s time. But for cars, the sprints with up to 450 Nm of torque in less than five seconds (4,9) from a standstill to a speed of 100, without a doubt, a very good value. With economical driving away from the city, the fuel consumption is also may fall below eight litres , with a lot of Stop-and-go and high speed, of course, over ten liters .

The interior
In the M it’s also on the inside-sporty and high quality. The four doors look when Open and Close a little easier than the new 1-series, maybe because the side Windows are surrounded by no door frame. The very good seats in the M235i xDrive Gran coupe offer perfect lateral support and are upholstered to hard, although the suspension is in the suspension setting “Comfort” is relatively tight.

The driving behavior
Munich is a pretty hard on the road , so that he can play to his strong athletic skills. He roars nimbly and luscious curves, always looks very agile. With the standard four wheel drive by plate clutch , the deep-laid M sports suspension , a mechanical limited-slip differential on the front axle, sports steering and a bissigeren brake, he seems to know no limits. And on the highway it can be, in turn, also absolutely comfortable travel. The eight-speed automatic switches used to quickly, accurately and unobtrusively.

And things with small Gestures. On the back seat two passengers, with decent legroom. For people from 1.80 meters body length of the head space is there, however, scarce. Stately 430 litre compartment fit into the Luggage. With the three-part Backrest the transport possibilities can expand.
