Well I have a 335i with the MPPK and an Akra exhaust which is pretty much the tune the M235i has. It is a lot faster than I ever thought it would be given the specs. There has been a lot of discussion on this forum and the general consensus is that BMW 6 cylinder engines are underrated.
The M235i is a sweet ride. Personally I don't agree with C & D statement about the 6 speed manual being the choice for enthusiasts. I used to love manuals but after owing the 8 speed ZF, I would never go back - it is perfectly suited to the drivetrain and shifts almost as quickly as a DCT. Sometimes you just have to accept progress. The DTM drivers prefer paddles - its quicker.
