I chose the 235i for several reasons:
Size: I drive alone 97% and 3& with only one passenger (empty nester)
Price: Budget was 50k; same car in a 435 was $57,450, and sitting inside as a driver, looked about the same.
Power: Plenty for the street, easily tuneable if more power needed
Looks: Love the look of the car
Will I mod? Yes. Black grills, amber marker delete, probably 19" wheels/tires when the run flats wear out, performance exhaust, maybe better mirror caps.
Ricer, no.
