The BMW Abu Dhabi Motors gets yet again in our attention as they decided to display a BMW M235i Coupe fitted with M Performance parts. It starts to be something common to see these kind of models in certain BMW dealerships, therefore, we shouldn’t be surprised anymore.

The model in question stands out thanks to a special black finish as well as revised alloy wheels with red accents, the three M colors on the front grille and the special carbon fiber parts.

To be more specific, the front and rear spoilers, mirror caps, side skirts and rear diffuser received this special treatment. As a reminder, the BMW M235i Coupe packs a 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo unit producing 326 horses and 450 Nm of torque, enough for a 0-100 km/h sprint in 4,8 seconds with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

If you opt for a six-speed manual unit, the same task is done in 5 seconds with a top speed limited at 250 km/h in both cases.

The M Performance parts can be seen at the interior as well, new red leather seats and an M steering wheel being the main ones. A new set of aluminum side sills and M alloy pedals are also found at the interior of the German model.
