Is paying an additional $8,000 or so far an equally equipped 235i worth 0.6 seconds to 60? Just asking..... Is the 228i with M-sport package / MT the better buy? I mean...hey....few are made of money. Has anyone considered a 228i instead? :-)

I'm definitely considering a 228i instead. I test drove the 228i and M235i back-to-back and I didn't find the power difference notable enough to spend the extra dough on the M235i.
The 228i apparently has better weight distribution, too, thanks to the lighter engine. And you can only get the M Performance suspension on the 228i.
