If you are an M purist (M2/3/4), I won't argue with you on what the M brand means to you, or whether or not creating the M235, et. al. is diluting the brand. I KNOW that M drivers modify their cars as much, if not more than M235 owners do, so saying that the fact that M235 owners modify their cars is evidence that they are not true M cars is a false statement.
In my opinion (and it's only that), BMW has been diluting their brand over the past decade by over engineering and bloating their cars, to include the M series variants, so the M235 is a return to what the M really stood for, high performance to weight ratio, and great driving characteristics. The M235 certainly offers all of those in spades. That is why I am OK with the M235 having the M emblem in front of it.
