Within the rigid hierarchy of performance models BMW M235i, the cabrio is not even a proper car “M”. Like its coupe sister, she is one of the “M Performance” Derivatives medium strength and not one of the digits, cars purebred M (M3, M4, etc.). However, despite its location in what should be the beakiest pecking order, it is also fun when everything is currently carrying M badges and more entertaining to drive several of his superiors assumptions.

The process of what we call cabrioization has done little to reduce the considerable charm M235i coupe. However, there are differences. With a fast road driving, noise becomes canvas top convertible. And if you try to travel quickly over a rough surface, then there is a slight structural shake, especially with the roof down. There is a weight penalty also predictable. BMW figures, the convertible is about 325 more pounds heavier than the coupe.

There is no doubt that the additional mass has less maneuverable than the coupe change light feet, but it’s still an absolute blast to drive too hard a favorite street. And the fun is as much about what the car is not what makes it. Unlike most recent range M, the M235i is no sense undermine the wealth of responsibility, but a perfect balance between performance and grip. Or even to fall, as the little convertible is happy, intensely charged with the T-happy 3.0-liter six-Hoon prepared rear tires whenever you want be overwhelmed. But you do not drive so to feel alive; Use torque to influence daily curved line speeds, even with the control systems of the left stability. It is not as fast as the Wham bam-M4 convertible; nor on anything except a racetrack high-speed, almost certainly more fun.

It is good as a convertible, too. Roof storage M235i feels great. The engine sound is 228i Convertible sounds as upset stomach under light use, but the M235i six-cylinder generates a noisy soundtrack that perfectly suits the car. Although the new X6 M an existential threat fear about the future of the cause of sports cars, here is welcome evidence that the subdivision M can still make a great car.
