BMW M235i (F22): An Overview of the Compact Class Sports Sedan
The original vehicle on which the 1/18 scale miniature is based is the BMW M235i (F22). Introduced in the second generation of the 2 Series from 2014 to 2021, this model is a prime example of German engineering. The car is equipped with a 3.0-liter inline-six turbo engine that delivers an impressive 322 horsepower (317 hp) and 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) of torque. These performance figures allow the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 4.6 seconds, while reaching a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). The engine itself is a masterpiece, developed by BMW's engineering elite. Prominent engineers involved include Klaus Fröhlich, who played a key role in the development of the power units.

Design and Development of the BMW M235i
The design of the BMW M235i (F22) was led by Christopher Weil, known for his innovative and dynamic designs. The car features a sporty silhouette emphasized by the aggressive front end and aerodynamic body. It is the successor to the BMW 1 Series Coupe, which was also in the compact class but did not offer the same sportiness and performance. The interior of the M235i is characterized by high-quality materials and a driver-oriented layout that further enhances the driving experience. Technological innovations include the optional BMW xDrive all-wheel drive system, which significantly improved traction and handling.
