I wish M235i was a 20k car, but it's not. It's twice of that. And that's exactly why I have a problem with it. You can get a nice 09 M3 for 35k.
And any bit of credibility you had fluttered away when you said you wished it were a 20k car. Just to show what a moron you are, here's what 20k buys you today-

Yes, garbage. Now people that live in the real world, and want a new bang for buck BMW experience, can see that the M235 is a pretty good deal.

A 2009 M3 isn't really going to deliver that. Especially since it's numbers don't really hold up here in 2014 where FI makes an NA engine look antiquated. And who wants to sit in a worn out cockpit?

Don't get me wrong. I love my V8. But I also have sense enough to recognize that the M235 is pretty damn good considering where it sits in the market.

Hell, 20k wouldn't buy an e30 M3 when it came off the line... ~27 years ago...
