Monday marked the official, live unveiling of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/01/13/2014-bmw-m235i-detroit-2014/">2014 BMW 2 Series</a>. Not a company to rest on its laurels, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/">BMW</a> has unveiled the online configurator for the replacement to the much-loved <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/1+series/">1 Series</a>. Potential customers can select from either the 228i or go all-out and get the M235i. We shouldn't have to explain which car we've been building all day.<br />
<br />
As a recap, a base 228i starts at $32,100 not counting a $925 destination charge. It includes 240 horsepower, 258 pound-feet of torque and, when optioned with the six-speed manual rather than the eight-speed automatic, a perfect 50/50 weight distribution (the 8AT balances at 50.3 in front and 49.7 in back). The M235i, meanwhile, starts at $43,100 (although you can't actually buy one for that, because the configurator forces you into a $1,450 Dakota leather interior). It offers up significantly more grunt, with 320 hp and 320 lb-ft from its 3.0-liter, turbocharged straight six.<br />
