Back in 2011 when they released the 1m I thought meh so what its the same thing, now that I have a one I realize how far apart these two cars are, to take a 135 and make it a 1m takes tens of thousands of dollars, its much more then adding 40hp.
And to the guy who thought his car was better then an e34 m5, thats like saying our cars are better then a 67 vette, back in the eighties there were few cars better than an m5 comparing something built today is not even close to fair. I hate to break it to you but the m235i is built for the masses its comfort first then enough performance to compete with the others in its class. An m car is built on a different premise.
How about you stop feeding the trolls arguing about whether or not a car is an M car.

Everyone knows what "M" is? a Letter

Defining it further is a job for BMW marketing and trying to do so yourself is childish.

I think this forums mods should start locking down posts about M versus not an M and leave them all to a corner of the forum that only the trolls who enjoy these discussions go.

Now does anyone want to discuss M240i versus M235i on here?

Thankfully for me you are not a forum moderator, but you're right lets compare a car that doesn't exist to a model that is the best of the best. RIGHT, AM I RIGHT M235I OWNERS.
