From what good sense tells me, here is how the ///M Performance range would fit into the whole BMW range :
1er range (3 door and 5 door hatches) : - No 135i (either regular or ///M Sport) - Instead, an ///M Performance 320ps ///M140i (or ///M135i***) - No ///M version 2er range (2 door coupé and cabrio) : - 306ps ///M Sport 235i (likelihood in question***) - 320ps ///M Performance ///M240i (or ///M235i***) - 360ps ///M2 3er range (4 door sedan, 5 door wagon and 5 door 3GT) : - 306ps regular version 335i - 306ps ///M Sport 335i - 340ps (like the Audi S4) ///M Performance ///M340i (sedan and wagon only) - 450hp ///M3 (probably sedan only, wagon depending on demand) 4er range (2 door coupé and cabrio, 4 door coupé 4GC) : - 306ps regular version 435i - 306ps ///M Sport 435i - 340ps ///M Performance ///M440i - 450ps ///M4 5er range (4 door sedan, 5 door wagon, 5 door 5GT) : - 407ps regular version 550i (later upgraded to 450ps) - 407ps ///M Sport 550i (later upgraded to 450ps) - 381ps ///M Performance ///M550d (sedan and wagon only) - 560ps ///M5 (sedan only, wagon depending on demand) 6er range (2 door coupé and cabrio, 4 door coupé 6GC) : - 407ps regular version 650i (2 door) soon upgraded to 450ps - 407ps ///M Sport 650i (2 door) soon upgraded to 450ps - 450ps regular version 650i (4 door 6GC) - 450ps ///M Sport 650i (4 door 6GC) - 381ps ///M Performance ///M650d - 560ps ///M6 7er range : - 407ps regular version 750i soon upgraded to 450ps - 407ps ///M Sport 750i soon upgraded to 450ps - 381ps ///M Performance ///M750d X5 and X6 ranges : - 407ps regular version X5 and X6 50i (later upgraded to 450ps) - 407ps ///M Sport version X5 and X6 50i (later upgraded to 450ps) - 381ps ///M Performance X5 and X6 ///M50d - 555ps X5///M and X6///M X3 and X4 ranges : It is too early to speculate but I guess that both will get ///M Performance versions (340ps ///M40i) and the X4 might get its hardcore 450ps X4///M version. Z4 and Z2 ranges : I really hope we will get 450ps Z4///M and 360ps Z2///M (although Z4///M seems unlikely on the actual generation), and logically the facelift Z4 35is will become the 340ps ///M Performance Z4///M40i. ...But again, all this is only my imagination so far ***PS: as mkoesel pointed it out, there might be no 306ps 235i at all but only the 320ps ///M Performance version replacing it. In that case, the latter might well be called ///M235i and not ///M240i since the -35i suffix will be free to use, and therefore the 3 and 5 door hatch versions might be called ///M135i by extension.
