2024 BMW M235i xDrive Gran Coupe
- Base Price: $48,300
- MPG Combined: 27
- Drive Type: All-wheel drive
- Engine: 2.0-liter inline-4
- Aspiration: Turbocharged
- Transmission: 8-speed automatic

The all-wheel-drive M235i xDrive cranks up the power and cracks the 5.0-second 0-60 barrier, putting it in some pretty elite company, yet its combined fuel economy matches that of the M228i xDrive. It's a miracle! But at nearly $50k to start, it's also rather expensive for a subcompact sedan that's not exactly beautiful.
