If I ever find myself wondering what an M Performance-equipped BMW M235i should look like, I’ll have BMW Adu Dhabi to thank for it. What you’re looking at here is an M235i coupe->ke141 that’s been equipped with M Performance parts. More importantly, this is what the M235i should look like… period.

The modifications are obviously dramatic, highlighting the car’s sporty and aggressive characteristics that BMW’s M division is so famous for. At the risk of sounding like somebody with a car crush, I can’t help but wish this package is available here in the U.S. See how the car’s body color combines well with the red-painted M Performance parts? The red just pops out, creating a sexy balance of two colors that couldn’t be more opposite of one another.

Mind you, that’s just the exterior of the M235i. BMW->ke178 Abu Dhabi also gifted the same amount of personalization to the interior, which is impressive in its own right.

There’s been no mention on whether this M Performance-equipped M235i is for sale or if it’s just a showpiece designed to show off the M235i’s potential for customization. Either way, it showed us just how awesome the BMW M235i really is.

BMW M235i With M Performance Package in detail

It’s impossible not to notice the Mineral Gray finish of the M235i and how the red-painted M Performance parts combine to give this sports coupe a sexier look. But don’t just focus on the two-color combination. The parts themselves serve their purpose, especially the front splitter, rear diffuser, M Performance side skirts that all help in adding some downforce.

The interior of the M235i also received the same gray-and-red color scheme, highlighted by the red leather seats and the Alcantara-wrapped sports steering wheel with its own carbon finish and central marking.

The materials used goes to show how versatile the M235i’s cabin really is.

No performance modifications were given, but since we're dealing with BMW Performance here, we didn't expect the M235i to have any. That shouldn't be a problem since the M235i is powered by a 3.0-liter, TwinPower Turbo, inline-six engine that produces 326 horsepower and 322 pound-feet of torque. That's good enough for the M235i to cover the 0-to-62-mph sprint in 4.8 seconds to go with an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph.
