This is not your average BMW M235i — and it shouldn’t be compared to one.
This is, without question, THE nicest BMW M235i convertible for sale in Australia, and I challenge anyone to find better value in this price range.
For under $26,000, you’re getting a 6-cylinder 3.0L turbocharged engine producing 240kW, 0–100 km/h in under 5 seconds, and a convertible that still looks and feels like a current-model car. On top of that, it has a long list of tasteful upgrades you simply won’t find on other M235i listings on Carsales.
This car really stands out wherever it goes. Upgrades include front and rear spoilers, rear diffuser, side skirts, chrome delete, and a beautiful Alcantara interior. However, the feature that gets the most attention is the upgraded rear taillights, designed to resemble the 2025 M2 tail lights. They completely transform the look of the car, taking it from a standard 2016 M235i to a modern, M2-inspired head-turner. This is what receives the most compliments and questions — people constantly ask what model it is and where they can get one.
The original factory taillights are also included with the sale, and I’m happy to have them professionally refitted if you prefer (although I doubt you’ll want to once you see these in person).
The car is mechanically A+, sounds fantastic while remaining refined and not over the top, and is an absolute joy to drive. Whether you’re cruising with the roof down or pushing through winding national park roads, this car does it all.
And not to be understated... the Harman Kardon sound system on this Car is better than any sounds system Ive heard in any car.
The soft top is in perfect condition, goes up or down in 19 seconds... part from some small cosmetic stuff such as a few scratches and small dents (typical of a 10 year old car) This is car in Excellent condiotn
