The interior of the M235i has door-sill strips with “M235i” lettering engraved in the aluminum inserts. Both driver and the passenger receive the added support of leather wrapped sports seats.
As the driver, you will enjoy an M-steering wheel featuring multifunction buttons. The leather finish extends to the steering wheel, selector level, and gearshift lever.
The M235i has a BMW Individual roof liner in Aluminum and Anthracite Hexagon trim coupled with accent strips in high-gloss black or matte Estoril blue.
