Maybe someone can remember, but I don't recall any next gen car besting the a M car from the previous generation. IIRC, the E92 335i was 4 seconds slower than the E46 M3 around the Nurburgring.

The way I see this is for those waiting for a M2, this news is a bummer but if you're looking for a performer similar to the 1M, the M235i works at a lower price tag and no limited-production.
I have been wondering the same thing...and although there have been rumors of a M435, there isn't one currently...because we know we are getting a M3 and M4...

If the M235 is going to be this "good" then that's why there won't be an M2 tomorrow. they're waiting to see if they need to build one...
