Because of this, we did not have to make many modifications in order to get the BMW M235i Coup\u00e9 up and running as a racing car. BMW Motorsport can look back on a long tradition of allowing ambitious teams and drivers an affordable way into motor racing \u2013 and of offering them an absolutely competitive car. That was the case recently with the BMW M3 GT4, and that is now being superseded with the BMW M235i Racing. While the BMW Z4 GT3 spearheads our range, the new car means we are now also excellently positioned for the coming years in the field of production-based racing cars.\u201d<br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-4hlqyj-10ce7b2c9aa8e139bb0982f953238a63\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-4hlqyj-10ce7b2c9aa8e139bb0982f953238a63{\npadding-bottom:0;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-4hlqyj-10ce7b2c9aa8e139bb0982f953238a63 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-4hlqyj-10ce7b2c9aa8e139bb0982f953238a63 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-4hlqyj-10ce7b2c9aa8e139bb0982f953238a63 av-special-heading-h3  avia-builder-el-2  el_after_av_heading  el_before_av_icon_box '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag'  itemprop=\"headline\"  >The racing version is capable of generating 333hp <\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n<p>The motorsport genes are also easily recognisable in the production version of the BMW M235i Coup\u00e9, courtesy of the aerodynamically optimised body design. It is propelled by the most powerful petrol engine developed so far for a BMW M Performance Automobile: a six-cylinder in-line engine with M Performance TwinPower Turbo technology. With a capacity of 2,979ccm, the racing version is capable of generating 333hp (245kW).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Name:  BMW_235i_Racing.jpg&lt;br \/&gt;\nViews: 14718&lt;br \/&gt;\nSize:  139.8 KB\" src=\"http:\/\/www.2addicts.com\/forums\/attachment.php?attachmentid=942935&amp;d=1384967640\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Motorsport-specific driving aids such as ABS, DSC and traction control ensure that the motorsport newcomers can also handle the BMW M235i Racing surely and safely. The car also comes with mechanical limited-slip differential, which is also available for the BMW M235i Coup\u00e9 in the original BMW Parts range. The racing car is also fitted with features such as the FIA-certified safety cell and the modern safety tank. On top of this come components from the BMW M Performance Parts range, such as the rear and front spoilers, diffusor and carbon wing mirrors.<\/p>\n<article  class='iconbox iconbox_left av-23sbtn-3ea98797e5b87d313185065bc243e100  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_heading  avia-builder-el-last '  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class=\"iconbox_content\"><header class=\"entry-content-header\"><div class=\"iconbox_icon heading-color\" aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/div><h3 class='iconbox_content_title '  itemprop=\"headline\" >Technical Data BMW M235i Racing<\/h3><\/header><div class='iconbox_content_container '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Max. width: 1,862mm (without mirrors)<br \/>\nWheelbase: 2,691mm<br \/>\nHeight: 1,380mm (without antenna)<br \/>\nMax. track: 1,608mm<br \/>\nEngine: six-cylinder in-line<br \/>\nCapacity: 2,979ccm<br \/>\nOutput: 333hp (245kW)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Badass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2892,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[13],"tags":[411,10,145,302,107],"class_list":["post-2891","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bmw","tag-bmw","tag-coupe","tag-m235i","tag-racing","tag-testing"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/wild-speed.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/235ftr.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":false,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1GSGL-KD","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wild-speed.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2891","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wild-speed.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wild-speed.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wild-speed.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wild-speed.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2891"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/wild-speed.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2891\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4005,"href":"https:\/\/wild-speed.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2891\/revisions\/4005"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wild-speed.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2892"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wild-speed.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2891"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wild-speed.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2891"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wild-speed.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2891"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
