You theory is pretty much dead in a water.
I will also add that if you are short then M235 may appeal to you a little more. I'm 6'2" and 2 series is just too small for me.

I think you miss the point. This is not an apples to apples comparison. The things I want are more closely tied to the M235i. I am looking for a daily driver I can take to the track, not a track car that I can drive daily. The M235i fits this better. I think the review in the op showed that is the criteria they were using too. If it was just a lap time rewiew, yes the M3/M4 would win. Again not apples to apples.
The two are functionally the same price for me and I chose the M235i.
On your second note, I too am over 6' and I prefer a car closer to the size of the e46 (which this is) and not the e60 sized M3/M4
