If you want a compact true driver's car you missed the boat, the 1M blows this away.

If you were referring to my post and my comment about a "true driver's car," I was saying hopefully the M235i will be closer to BMW's traditional philosophy of offering an ultimate driving machine. I would never compare the M235i to the 1M--with or without the optional LSD. And yes, I missed out on that chapter, considering the limited availability and timing. But the M235i should weigh as much or lower than the current 1er, be tighter, and hopefully offer a more visceral feeling than anything currently available without a "real" M badge.
