Sure dimensions are similar, but chassis design could be totally different and likely will see upgraded components.

They are not a design onto themselves, but rather an evolutionary improvement of the base series, meant primarily for track.

There is no way for you to know..."it doesn't have the development nor the uniqueness to be one" without knowing the details of the components that total the sum of the car.
Mark my words, the M235i is both not an M car and is also an M135i with a trunk lid.
