(Su cui sto facendo pensieri...se non fosse che DUE auto scomode in casa non sarebbe saggio)

Completamente OT...i tappetini della i10 che chezz c'entrano sulla Genesis?

[CoreVD]

Il BiTurbo ahimè è sempre l'N47

Quindi tutti i disel in gamma soffrono ancora del problema della catena?

Se sì, speriamo nell'affidabilità dei benzina...

Completamente OT...i tappetini della i10 che chezz c'entrano sulla Genesis?

Ma soprattutto, una Genesis Nuova a 22mila cucuzze?

Quindi tutti i disel in gamma soffrono ancora del problema della catena?

C'è stato qualche caso di rottura anche sulle nuove F20/F30 (documentato sul BmwPassion)

[CoreVD]

Appunto per questo chiedevo se avessero apportato qualche modifica risolutiva...

Non è nemmeno la più economica che si trova...

Alla fine, gira e rigira, è quasi più bella della sorella maggiore...

Mi sono riguardato tutte le foto; gli elementi del frontale disposti a freccia me la fanno sembrare un photoshop strabico da tutte le angolazioni diverse da "assonometria cavaliera ad altezza calandra"

Possibile che dal vivo renda diversamente.

Paraurti posteriore completamente sproporzionato in rapporto all'anteriore.

Bella e buona come una minestrina per anziani.

What is it?

The replacement for the old 1-series coupé, using the same platform as the 3-series but with less wheelbase and track. It’s slightly bigger than the outgoing 1-series coupé and, a little disappointingly, weighs the same.

The M235i is powered by a 322bhp 3.0-litre turbo straight six that, in the test car’s case, feeds an eight-speed paddle-shift automatic of fine manners and speedy obedience. Or you can have a six-speed manual.

BMW's new 2-series shares its bonnet, front wings and doors with the three-door 1-series but gets all-new architecture elsewhere. That means the oddly dome-roofed look of the 1-series coupé, partly caused by its too-close-to-vertical rear screen, has gone. It’s quietly handsome, and a subtlety of look might be a good thing, given the bounding scope of its go.

The car's engineers will also tell you that alongside its new look, the 2-series has been engineered to give a better ride over bumps, something that dogged the M135i. to that end, the 2-series' springs are stiffer, as are the dampers, and the bump stops have been redesigned. More than that, there has been some subtle recalibrating of the chassis’ reactions to make far less of a meal of bumps and give the driver an easier time on the limit.

What is it like?

In short, this M235i is the car that we’d dreamed it would be, and wished the M135i coupé would really be too.

It’s not just the taming of puckered asphalt that does it, nor the BMW’s deliciously predictable controllability, but the feedback that subtly comes at you, too. Subtly, because the overly thick steering wheel doesn’t really provide a live streaming interface to the front wheels. Instead, it delivers precision and fine weighting that’s of reassuringly greater heft in Sport mode, but not much of the grainy feel that you’d expect as you stretch the Michelins’ tread with some g-force.

On the track at least, there's a methodical sequence to getting the most out of the M235i. Left foot on brake, sink the throttle, 3000rpm, release the brake. The pause is short and the slight sideways jink satisfying to correct as the straight six spumes a fattening torrent of power. At 7250rpm, it momentarily abates before firing another thumping slug of torque at the differential. Same again into third as we marvel at the creamily resonant beat of a six that sounds as unflustered at 7250rpm as it does at 2250rpm.

Make no mistake, this is a car that goes, and its noise makes you want to get going when you need to go. To the tune of 4.8sec if 62mph is your target.

You don’t change your mind about the getting going when you reach the first bend, either. The M235i’s braking is confident and stable. A few paddle-shift flicks and we’re into fourth, the nose turning with a cleanly eager precision that challenges you to find the perfect line.

Reapply the power and there’s the easy balance of a car whose chassis is at one with itself; there’s no understeering disobedience, no jiggle and squirm from the axles and enough weight in the steering to tempt you into higher speeds next time. And when the next bend turns choppy, this adaptively damped chassis has the absorbency to surf bumps without jerking your torso like an Alpine drag-lift.

Should I buy one?

That depends on whether you want to wait for the M4. If you can't wait until we've delivered our verdict on that, then rest assured that this is currently the most enjoyable, well balanced model in BMW's range.

It's compact, easy to see out of, has comfortable, anchoring seats, and is also a very entertaining car for the £35,000 asking price.

PS - piu' la guardo meno mi piace. Ho allegato le foto per deliziarvene, proprio perche' in alcune la trovo un discreto cesso.

Una M135i 3 porte, magari con questi fari, la troverei molto piu' gustosa.
