In a recent interview for Auto Express, Klaus Froehlich, Senior Vice President Brand and Product Strategies BMW Group might've said a bit too much than he was supposed to.
Talking about the upcoming replacement of the 1 Series Coupe, the 2 Series, he said that he's very excited about the M235i, that will come bearing a couple of substantial surprises, including a limited slip differential!

“I have just signed off the M235i’s M Sport performance kit, which will include a proper limited slip differential. I’m just working out whether to make this an option on all models," said Froelich.

"The M235i is as close a spiritual successor to the 2002ti that we’ve had. My initial benchmark was that it will be faster than the BMW 1M Coupe around the Nurburgring, which it is," he then added.
