- Joe Achilles and I review the new 2020 BMW M235i Gran Coupe. Is the BMW M235i Gran Coupe a better CLA 35 or is this new BMW M235i mistake by the brand when entering a new segmant in the small compact car market?
The BMW M235i runs the same 2.0 engine as the M135i and delivers 306 bhp 450 nm. 0-62 mph is achieved in 4.9 seconds so it is a quick car but does the styling match the punch? More so can we get over the change to a 4 cylinder engine instead of the roaring straight 6 i feel this car needs.

I'm lost on this car. Some say its ugly some say its not bad. But I think everybody should decide when they see it in real life
i’m unsure also. I think it has to have all the m packing trim. for the price and features it’s worth it. it’s just so hard to fine.
Good looking, different and practical good for daily commute. Drives very nicely too
I like it. Interesting and different.
Stunning, great design evolution from BMW!
We’re waiting to take delivery of our M235i. We were between the 330i x-drive and this. As single child family...this car for my wife as a daily was the smarter go due to size. The 3 felt great but this really surprised me, and as the main driver when we’re all together I imagine it’ll be a great joy on the quick weekend rounds. A well rounded small family car and the optioned black accents make it look quite well in person. I imagine the ecu tunes and aftermarket exhausts will be fairly established once the warranty ends too!
I have a single young child as well and I should have gotten this over the mini countryman. it’s safety and about the same price. and fully loaded like an m this is more affordable then a 330i.
Have mine on order😁
Great video as per ! I feel a black one with all black detailing would make it look much better often with cars the colour can make a car , I could get over the looks it’s a good honest reliable car with decent specs for the average consumer !
Think this will hold its used price better than the M135i
As allways Steff quality well informed video. You and Joe owning the new car model reviews. Fun but proffesional.
I just wonder if BMW need this model they seem to be trying too hard to cover the complete market and diluting their brand strength and reputation in doing so.
Thanks mate 🙌
I like the car nice ride, 4wd, lovely interior and got a bit of speed to it not as bad but still nothing close to the old generation
Gorgeous car, love it. Only thing that needs correcting is the drivers digital dash; looks poor and the rev counter is not increasing in the same direction as the speed gauge. Old school door lock buttons need to go.
The rear looks too heavy for me in photo but the grill is a bit better than the one on the 1 series. Curious to see in person. Interior top class. Great job Stef, thank you!
Thank you!
Good honest review ! Be nice to see an all black one with black grills and red leather 🤟🏼
Thanks mate
@@StefABtv this segment has always been BMW. Beginning BMW 2002tt/2002 tti ,first to third gen BMW 3 serie...BMW have left some meat on the bone for mercedes benz and vwaudiskodaseat products..
But big BOSS BMW is back
Warrior H you just ruined it😒😒😒😒😒😒😒
That synthetic Golf R annoying sound coupled with the exterior design is not a looker, over bloated kidney grills and finally a four cylinder. Good to bhp braggers and 0-60 merchants, for me, the best BMW are in the past. The e86 is a keeper so is my money, excellent honest review Stef.
I have to admit, when you said it was a Grand Coupé and opened the back, I was expecting it to be more of a hatchback and not a booted rear end. But then, the Series 4 Grand Coupé is the same, so what do I know? I think I'm getting mixed up with the Audis 🤔😕
BMW seem to have replicated all their model interiors. They're looking almost identical now. Which isn't a bad thing.
I love this one. Y its not a old school M Power drive feeling, bat its a nice Car. If you need M Power, you have to start with M3.
Hi Stef, Nice video man. Nice to see that you are doing reviews on a lot of different cars lately, keep up the good work 👍
Jaco Van-Der-Walt thank you mate 🙌🙌
Is this not a premium car (2.21) ? at 37k you'd hope it would be AND when I get my beemer I shall definitely ask the salesman to spec it with adaptive led suspension (9.25), awesome 🤣🤣
Stef, BMW should have built a 4 door 2series based on the M2 platform, building into a 4 door M2, this would be the best approach into building a car that would replace the unfortunately. Bulged 3 series. The M2 platform is the best at BMW right now, imagine a 4 door M2C...
4 door m2 c would be mega
Think I prefer this over the M135i
Nice video. I am looking at one for a Euro delivery program and it seems to be about the largest car in which I'd wish to navigate some of those medieval town streets. Did a 5 series Euro delivery and will never do that again. ;) As I get older, cars like this are more preferable than the regular M cars which offer heaps more performance that I can never explore even on a track. I think this cars hits all the right spots.
I should have gotten this instead of the mini countryman with no safety features. this is such a better value and slightly larger but 1,000 times safer. I saw this color the other day it’s very interesting. i’m hoping an early lease buyout to get into this, or the x2 or 330i. but this is the most affordable fully loaded bmw.
i hope thats not a PSA Peaugeot engine as they will burn oil from 40k miles!
Can't decide between snapper rocks blue or storm bay grey help!
Blue for me
is it me or the little rear spoiler is identical to the Giulia Quadrifoglio's?
Vezio Emiliani I see what you mean
Yep
I think its the big bulbous boot spoiler that makes the back end look ugly.
Looking forward to the 4 Series coupe and my order will be placed on that rather than this.
Love the latest generation revamped BMW interiors though, it was needed!
Agree interiors are really nice
Gran coupe or the three door?
The black grill makes it look like a Kia🤣
Looks more like x6 somehow.
Give it to *MOTECH* 😎👍🏻
Indeed!
Fugly or nice. Any poll added be good cannot decide what peeps think this new gran 2 series gran
Its not as nice as it looked it was going to be going by auto express pics last year
No pops and crackles :/
Expected it was a hatch then doh! its a coupe with 4 doors - want to like it but M2 for me please or even 220i 2 door - niche filler for USA I suppose however I do want to like it however yep no 💩
RANK
That looks like a bmw x6
Yeah the rear does
♥Stef ABtv
I love the blue exterior color on this car.
Unfortunately, it's only paired with a black interior - I hate black interiors!
So tall..it's like Toyota Corolla
Evening stef this looks like a Kia /Hyundai, its ugly and bland I don't know what bmw were thinking when someone signed this off. Who's going to buy this at it's ridiculous price, there's better cars out there even within the bmw line-up.
Simon, you are 100% correct! The Germans are resorting to making crap these days. I used only buy German cars, now I own an Alfa Romeo. So much more exciting to drive.
Think it may to well in the US. They don’t get the 1 series so may buy into this
Hugly 🤣🤣
Stef, its not a first for them. They have made the 1 series and 2 series for some time now. I think the car looks ugly as hell. I would never buy one. BMW has lost its edge. They are fading and Mercedes might be doing worse, in my opinion. The designs are not fresh and not interesting.
It’s not a great looking car, the old M240i looks better and better by the day compared to this
Old one wath coupe ?
BMW have completely lost it recently.
Saw it today in real life, the BMW is UAF (ugly as f@@k)
Stef I think the rear is pig ugly 👎🏿😩
It’s a bit marmite
