Drag Race: BMW M235i vs. BMW M4

Auto Bild decided to pair the M235i with the more powerful and raw M4 Coupe. It's not a true apples-to-apples comparison and a better one would be the M2 vs. M4

Until the BMW M2 arrives in April, the next best thing to an M4 is the BMW M235i Coupe. The super sporty two-door made its debut two years ago and has already built a cult among BMW fans. German car publication Auto Bild decided to pair the M235i with the more powerful and raw M4 Coupe. It’s not a true apples-to-apples comparison and a better one would be the M2 vs. M4 – but that’s for another time.

Featuring a high-revving 3.0 liter BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder engine producing 320 horsepower, the M235i accelerates from 0-62mph (0-100km/h) in just 4.4 seconds – official numbers. The car has an electronically limited top speed set at 155 mph (250km/h).

The M4 has an absolute powerhouse underneath its low-slung hood. A twin-turbocharged 3.0 liter inline-six engine makes 425 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. The top speed is also limited to 155 mph – unless you opt for the M Drivers Package. The spring from 0 to 62 mph is rated at 4.1 seconds.

The M235i is lighter, but the M4 compensates with its higher power output and M tuned features.

But how would they fare on a straight line?
