It's a good car. The engine has great power and economy. It''s got a 300 lb lighter nose weight advantage over the M235i which the M235i can do nothing about.
300lbs lighter in the nose? Where does that data come from? The 228i 6MT with the M-sport package weighs ~3,340lbs. The M235 6MT weighs in at 3,490lbs per BMW. So we're really talking 150lbs, if that. My 2016 M235 6MT with the moonroof delete and 3/4 tank of fuel weighed in at 3,350lbs on a CAT scale.
