2014 BMW M235i Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2014 BMW M235i covers a two-door coupe, Base trim, with a gasoline 3.0L DOHC inline-six that is turbocharged and twin-cam. A single engine in a single body keeps the reference work short: there is one set of clearances, one firing order, one cooling layout and one wiring architecture to learn. The manual builds outward from there into the driveline, the chassis and the body, giving procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics for each of them in turn.

Known issues on the 2014 M235i. Three recalls sit on the federal record. One concerns a fuel pump whose internal plating was applied improperly, allowing the pump to fail and the car to stall without warning. The other two cover the head air bag inflator, which can split at a weld joint and either leak its gas, leaving the bag only partly inflated in a crash, or rupture and throw metal fragments through the cabin. Owners have logged five complaints, spread across the power train, the engine and the structure. Fuel delivery, restraint and driveline diagnostics are all covered here.
