I understand their critiques, but I don't think BMW got the setup wrong, not for a second!

Hardcore buyers would always wait/go for the M2, while the not so hardcore love the M235i, so I think it does its part truly well, and past experience has shown me that a bit of body roll isn't such a bad thing once you equate that to your driving!

Also, you can go faster on a bumpier surface with a softer suspension, and we all know that most b-roads aren't racetrack smooth!

They went a bit over I think, and saying it isn't good when most are may be a way of getting some attention!

P.S. and if autoexpress manages the same lap time with an M235i as in an M3 CSL, that must say something about!
