I had an M3 with DCT loved it miss it. The M235 is great with all the lowend torque that you could dream of but it's not going to be an M3 and it's not going to have that kick ass DCT with the adjustability of soft or hyper aggressive shifts.

It will definite feel like a downgrade but it is a nice alternative if you have a lot of mileage or you can get out of it and make a few bucks. Otherwise I probably end up keeping the M3 .

The seats in the M3 are much better than the 235 the sound is real even though they do a great job synthesizing the exact sound from the M3 inside the cockpit of the M235. The M3 is definitely the attack vehicle the 235 is definitely a great daily driver with torque galore. I have the same exact engine in my E90 with the MPPK and it's really quite nice. It's definitely more relaxed acceleration than the M3, you don't have to cause as much of a scene when accelerating from 0–60 it just effortlessly flows.

But the look overall feel of an M3 there's no comparison 2 very different vehicles.
