I love my m235i and hope to keep it 10+ years. The car is absolutely the perfect size. The powertrain, suspension and braking are all great. I also love the looks of the car and actually prefer the styling to that of the m2.
Yes, the electric steering is a little lighter than I'd prefer. And, sure, it's possible to argue that, say, the Cayman has better steering feel. That's fair. But, of course, the Cayman has its own drawbacks, as well, such as lack of practicality. There's no such thing as the perfect car. Every car at every price level has compromises and shortcomings. It's just a matter of finding the right car for you. At this point in time, there's no other car on the market that I'd rather own (at least as my daily ride) than the m235i. None.
