The M235i is it's replacement.
It is also the better car as it's newer and more refined.
Lucky for us BMW didn't mess up with the new model.

I had a 135i, '03, and it was a fun car, but it needed improvements in the handling department and BMW did that.
For the AT the ZF is leaps and bounds better over the older 6spd.
Conclusion, the M235i is a better car over the former 135i, more and more.
newer is not always better. The E30 was a more enjoyable car than the E36 and the E46 was a more enjoyable car than the E9X....IMO.

Continuation is progression, but it doesn't necessarily mean 'more enjoyable'. That is a matter of opinion and the desires of the consumer. I want a simple and fun driving experience....everything else is secondary....to me.
