Former 135i owner (now 335 sportline)..

IMHO the M235 is a buffed version of the 135...smoothed out, more aggressive, more "purposeful" fron the front view. Really like the interior treatment but why no real temp gauge ?

What I do not care for, and also stopped me from getting an M sport vs sportline on my 335, is the back valence. Just do not like that , at all. However, the MG hides ( and likely black ) that issue well and would have to be my color choice or would have to have the rear valence painted out, if possible.

All that said, I would love to have an M235i and would if I could. But right now, another 4 door around the house is mandatory and I have a sports car, so I will suck it up. Going to test drive the M235 soon and I know that will really be an excercise in frustration beacuse I will want one.

Very happy for all you folks who will being driving the new 235i...love it. BMW got this one right....

ps..the 335 (w/ppk) is great. Its just too big for me.
