It is a car aimed directly at driving enthusiasts who are paying for performance. BMW drivers obviously spend enough to get performance, but pay more for something else. As has usually been the case, if you want a less compromised car, you have to step up to a real M. While the M2 will severely price out many STi owners, the performance will be a step up as well.

Sounds like you're saying narrow wheels on the M235i are a compromise... but for what? What are we getting in return?
In your own words, BMW drivers obviously spend enough to get performance. If BMW had put wider wheels on the car, we would not be compromising anything for the increased performance.
Only allowing true M cars to have wider wheels is contrived.
That's what I meant by "skimping out."
