Bottom line: they're both great cars.

I liken the CLA45 as an Audi RS3 that isn't made of vanilla pudding; its AWD and chassis combo is set up to be very neutral on the road and track, plus it doesn't look like a generic bar of soap.

I think the M235i will appease the RWD crowd very well. It's a rounded package that represents the roundel's core values without any frivolities.

They've made plenty of comparisons between the A45 and M135i so I think we have a fair idea of what to expect when it comes to these two.
