There's no way, even with that diff!

Very disappointing!

You didn't honestly believe any of that buildup hype marketing bullshit did you........

As I have fully expected for months now, the M235 will be the same a M135 but just in a coupe body,
......so, electric steering (and if you've driven a M135 already you'll know poor that is compared with a E82 135i) and no DCT option only the ZF auto.
I'm sure the LSD will appear on the dealer fit M performance accessories list, but that will be a likely very expensive option being a complete exchange unit because of the welded diff....as already mentioned.

I can't see anything about the M235 to get me that excited.
