Following on from BMW’s recent video of DTM driver Andy Priaulx sliding the brand new 2014 BMW M235i around the track, the company though it was only right to release a similar video but this time showcasing a much more controlled lap to showcase the full speed potential of the new performance coupe!

Pinned as a successor to the potent BMW M135i coupe, the BMW M235i features a twin-scroll turbocharged 3.0-liter in-line six-cylinder petrol engine producing an impressive 321 hp. As a result, when fitted with the standard six-speed manual transmission, the 2014 BMW M235i can hit 100 km/h in a brisk 5 seconds. However, that time falls to 4.8 second when optioned with the eight-speed automatic gearbox.
