History & Context
For decades, BMW’s identity was rooted in front-engine, rear-wheel-drive (RWD) sports sedans. The 2020 M235i Gran Coupe fundamentally shattered that tradition.

The Platform Shift: Unlike the traditional 2 Series two-door coupes which remained RWD, the Gran Coupe was built on the BMW/Mini UKL2 front-wheel-drive architecture. It shared its core underpinnings with the Mini Cooper, BMW X1, and BMW X2 crossovers.

Transverse Engine: The engine was mounted transversely instead of longitudinally, pushing the weight bias forward and altering the car's physical proportions.

Performance & US-Spec Mechanicals: To justify its "M Performance" badge, BMW packed the vehicle with high-output hardware:
- The Engine: 2.0-liter TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder pushing out 301 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque.
- Drivetrain & Transmission: All-wheel drive (xDrive) standard, paired exclusively with an 8-speed Aisin automatic transmission.
- Handling Tech: Standard M Sport brakes, a mechanical Torsen limited-slip front differential, and a specialized wheel slip limitation system.
- Straight-Line Speed: Sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 4.6 to 4.9 seconds.

Installation Instructions

Tweak between the settings for the best experience. Keep the default CM settings otherwise.
