BMW M235i with Alpine White paintjob spotted in Germany.

Packs 326 HP

A BMW M235i wearing an Alpine White paint has been photographed on the streets of Germany, ahead of the car's market launch scheduled for March.

Until a fully-fledged M2 will be out, the M235i will serve as the range-topping model in the2-Series lineup and will have a starting price in Germany of 43,750 EUR when equipped with a six-speed manual gearbox or 46,000 EUR with the eight-speed automatic.

The vehicle seen in these live photos had an Alpine White exterior paint scheme and was parked on a street in Germany. At its heart is an inline-six 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo gasoline engine delivering 326 HP (240 kW) and 322 lb-ft (450 Nm). It does 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 4.8 seconds (5s with the manual) and can hit an electronically-capped top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h).
