The BMW 2 Series  doesn’t get nearly the same amount of love as it should. You can blame the 4 Series  for that. The same can even be said for the M235i  and the M4, with the latter getting much more of the publicity. So thank you, Manhart, for giving the M235i some love. You didn’t have to do it, but you still did, giving the baby M a nice MH2 Clubsport program that features plenty of aerodynamic and performance upgrades to soundly accomplish its club sport capabilities.

A car developed for Club sport Racing needs to be treated delicately. Thankfully, Manhart is up to task with the M235i Coupe, outfitting with the kind of comprehensive program that not only gives it plenty of new aerodynamic components to make it lighter but to match it with a stout engine upgrade that significantly increases the car’s already impressive output.

There are a lot of incredible parts about the MH2 Clubsport program. It’s a testament to the incredible work put in by Manhart Racing to raise the M235i’s profile as a natural born racer.

The 4 Series and the M4 can get their accolades. Just don’t forget about the M235i, too. It’s every bit as good a pocket rocket as the best of the lot.

Manhart’s exterior upgrades on the M235i may be limited in terms of fancy aesthetics, but there are enough aerodynamic add-ons to improve its riding and handling. Look a little closer and you’ll see that this M235i comes with a new front spoiler, a rear diffuser, and a rear spoiler, all of which were taken from BMW  ’s Performance program. These items are made up carbon-fiber, ensuring that the car remains light on its rubber. As an added touch, carbon-fiber mirror covers were added to complement the car’s yellow wrap.

Manhart also has a new set of wheels for the MH2 Clubsport program. The tuner opted to use its own 19-inch Concave One wheels, wrapping them all up in Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires to ensure top-class performance.

Surprsingly, some of the M235i’s amenities are still intact. But since it’s a race car, changes were still in order to fit that need. A Recaro Pole Position full-shell seat with 4-point belts were the first indications, but not the last.

You’re going to notice that Manhart removed the entire rear bench in favor of a Club sport bracket with a double cross that was mounted for safety reasons. A soft rug lining covers the rear area to ensure that no metal parts are naked.

Moving back to the front, Manhart installed a special handbrake handle, gear lever knob and an aluminum pedal lining from the BMW Performance program. A new display was also added in the center console where the left ventilation nozzle used to be. This display functions by conveying important driver information like boost pressure, oil pressure, intake temperature, and oil temperature.
