The BMW M235i is easily one of the best, most complete sports-cars in the last decade. So fast, so agile and so fun.

There really is not much else with this triple threat of track prowess along with smooth and luxurious commuter capabilities.

But what if you want to go even more hardcore? To take this incredible engineering package and light the wick with a blowtorch?

 

To make your own GT-R-killer ready for any performance challenge — and delivering a huge grin all the way there and back — look no further than the below catalog from German car mod shop TUNINGWERK. Some great stuff itemized below.

Read the Road America track test review of the M235i here.

Think of it as your roadmap to 450-horsepower and a racecar laptime. These pieces are all for sale individually, and can be installed by most local auto shops once the boxed parts arrive to you here in the USA, or anywhere, worldwide.

My first picks if this were my M235i? 

• The ECU reflash and valve-operated active exhaust!

As a final note – most of these parts will fit on the 235i or 228i as well. Happy modding!
