The new BMW 2-Series has been leaking like a sieve this week, and we’ve already seen photos of the new BMW M235i from a dealer presentation.

Now, ahead of an official reveal tomorrow, and ahead of a public debut at the Detroit Auto Show in January 2014, we get a leak of a set of official photos of the M235i.

The M235i will be the range-topping BMW 2-Series at launch and, as you can see in the photos, gets some M goodness with bigger air intakes and alloys.

What we also get to see – for the first time – is the interior of the new 2-Series which is typical modern BMW with 3-spoke steering whell and big widescreen central infotainment screen.

Under the skin of this, the most powerful 2-Series at launch (and perhaps ever) is expected to be the same 3.0 litre turbo as the M135 hatchback, producing 322bhp and a 0-62mph sub 5 seconds.

We’re due to get the offical reveal of the new 2-Series tomorrow – including the M235i – so we’ll update then with a plethora of official images and details.
