A BMW M235i wearing Alpine White paint has been photographed on the streets of Germany, ahead of the car's market launch scheduled for March.

Until the full-fledged M2 arrives, the M235i will serve as the range-topping model in the 2 Series lineup, and will have a starting price of $44,025, which includes the $925 destination and handling fee.

The vehicle seen in these photos had an Alpine White exterior paint scheme and was parked on a street in Germany. At its heart is an inline-six three-liter turbocharged gasoline engine delivering 326 horsepower and 322 pound-feet of torque. The car does 0-62 mph in 4.8 seconds with an eight-speed automatic—add 0.2 seconds for the six-speed manual—and can hit an electronically-capped top speed of 155 mph.—Paul Duchene
