I guess what I'm getting at is that it's no where near as close in real life as the cars are on paper. I really love mine, it's the best regular series bmw I have driven by a long shot, but it is very different than a real NA high revving M car.
Good luck with your search!

Oh boy, I have not actually driven a M2235i no. Never owned a non NA car either but sounds like I better drive the turbo car first. Full disclosure---started out looking for an E92 M3 6MT car but not sure "I need a V-8". Ha.
It basically came down to a 2009-2011 M3 6MT for the same price as a 2014 M235i. I was blown away on how the E92 prices have held up.
