The test drive I had went over a bunch of tracks a few times and that's the thing that stood out for me. My 135 was a bit harsh over tracks where I felt the M235 was much more subdued over harsh bumps like that. Have you found the same thing?

I have found precisely the same thing - which some people find good, and others might prefer the 1er. I kind of loop that feeling in with the general conclusion that the 1er is a little more twitchy and the 2er is a little more planted.
And I think you're definitely right - the extended wheelbase helps the car absorb more without the chassis being "upset"....
