The modern four-cylinder coupé.
The 230i places the B48 turbocharged four-cylinder in the G42 two-door body. It provides a useful everyday counterpart to the much more powerful G87 M2.

One turbocharger
One exhaust-driven turbocharger compresses the intake air. Charge-air cooling then reduces the temperature before the air reaches the cylinders.
Rear-wheel drive
An eight-speed Sport automatic transmission sends drive to the rear axle. This entry describes the 230i, rather than the six-cylinder M240i or the separate M2.
