I WAS WRONG!! - 2020 BMW M235i Gran Coupe Full UK Review

Our resident bald guy Tim didn’t like the BMW M235i Gran Coupe when he saw the press images, but then BMW invited him (and cameraman Sean) along to the U.K. launch and it may just have changed his mind!

Huge thanks to BMW U.K. for the opportunity 😁👍

I COMPLETELY agree: go, see it in person! I also actually HATED it from the press photos and here I am considering it as my next car for 2021.

Okay I’m going to get saying this but let it out lol. The New 1 Series and 2 Series Gran Coupe has really nice road presence. Yes it’s unorthodox for BMW’s to look so different, but this will be a positive indication of where BMW is going. Them being FWD as standard isn’t bad at all for the normal buyer who wants a vehicle with such pedigree and a badge. The cars from BMW that us enthustiasts will want to buy anyway are mostly the M Cars. We will all grow to like them. I’m already fond. Brilliant review as always. Love this channel

Definetly looks better on video than on the pictures!

100% - Looked hideous in the photos but absolutely stunning in the showroom. Beats a lot of awesome cars in that room LOL

This car is really all around! Need to go for a test drive to see it!

Had one as a courtesy car a few months back and had a ton of fun with it, was thinking of getting one but wasn't too sure, this week I remembered how much I enjoyed driving it so I've purchased one and collect it thursday 😂

Seems to be getting a fair bit of hate, but I really like it. Put the steering wheel on the proper side, and I'll take one. :)
Cheers from Vancouver, Canada.

I want to see the data on those 40 ducks!!!!
Nicely done Tim and thanks for 'influencing' Quim....now he wants your trainers!

nice review of the car, liked it, I'm in the process of ordering one :) what baffles me is the ending, why an outdoor pool in the UK ? (unless its heated) do you ever use it ? and if you do, is that more than 1-2 days per year in the very peak of the "summer" ? Summer in the UK lol :P

[wheeliewonder]

Thank you Mr. "Baldland"! Wish you and your familly health! Stay safe!

7:48 I know that bit of road! Stretch from lechlade to faringdon is a great road ;)

Been offered this car for 15k lease over four years. Seems like a decent offer 🤔

I agree the front end looks a bit better in this video than the press release but that is not saying much. The colour is probably helping as it is still too fussy, the grilles are too big and it looks ill proportioned. My word though, the rear end is as bad as the press images. Looks like it has been in a shunt!

[lymonto]

Hmm... I'm not sure about open that boot after it has been raining, looks like all the water will dribble into the boot and as for the looks, not keen, seen the hatchback in the flesh must admit it looks better than in pictures 👍

German car brands now getting hard to fathom. Mercedes, Audi and BMW all so confusing, cluttered, overcrowded ranges. Less is more I think.

[hrleif]

Is the car so bumby to ride, or is it the road 11:53

[dennyh]

This is a nice Audi, and a decent BMW for those who never drive a proper inline 6

[Taufik]

order one .. but now all is fucking delayed

[hithere]

i believe it is actually based on the X2 not 1 series, just compare the design / look of the rear of X2 and this M235 and its virtually the same. Its a a squished down X2, thats why the rear of the car looks out of proportion.

40 large ducks? Is this an estimate or did you really try this out?
