BMW is stirring up quite a bit of interest around its new M235i Coupe to the point that, the larger 4-Series Coupe, the natural successor to the two-door 3-Series, is actually being overlooked by many enthusiasts.

There’s always room for improvement, though, and Germany’s Manhart Performance is getting ready to deliver some attention-grabbing news for owners of the car at the upcoming Tuning World Bodensee (May 1-4), Germany’s prime aftermarket event.

Manhart is holding back on full details, but it did release a single teaser image and a video of its tuned M235i, which it says, will sport an upgraded version of the car’s turbocharged straight-six with an output in excess of 400-horses, a notable increase over the factory model’s 320hp mill.

The only cosmetic mods seen here is a new front bumper attachment with additional yellow trims on the corner air inlets, which actually looks better than the stock piece and gives the 2-Series a more aggressive stance, together with new multispoke alloy wheels.
