Factory PPK for the M235i?
As everyone knows, when the 135i came out, it had 300 hp. A couple (?) of years later, BMW introduced the 1M with the same engine, but 320 hp. A bit later, BMW offered a dealer software upgrade for the 135i that brought it up to the same hp as the 1M. So I was wondering it anyone has heard anything, even a rumor, that BMW might do the same thing with the M235i and offer a software upgrade to match the power of the M2? I realize that the M2 has just been released, so I wouldn't expect this in 2016 and maybe not even in 2017, but I would think there would be a huge market for this as it would allow M235i owners a way to increase hp and performance, while keeping their factory warranty intact. I for one, would be at the head of that line!

M235i with Jb stage 324 WHP / 358 WTQ Keep in mind the M2 figures are to the crank and the M235 are to the wheel. Factor in the HP/TQ loss from crank to the wheel and the you got a very close HP figures and better torque from the M235

I thought m235i already had the power kit as standard since its uprated from the n55 in other cars by 20bhp. Although there is a power kit available for 335i which bumps it up by 40bhp which is faster than jb stage 1 tune. (yes, we've tested it lol)

I doubt there's anything further coming for these cars; in 2017 they likely don't exist anymore, replaced by the M240i with the B58 motor |
