I was worried that after driving the 235 several times, I wouldn't be happy with the engine in the 228. When driven in Sport +, it has plenty to get me in trouble.
Even my little 116i (1.5L 4cly turbo) rental in sport mode (no sport+ available) is enough to get me in trouble. Mostly in town because it is so responsive, light, and nimble.

Can't hang on the autobahn or high speed corners though. Acceleration start falling off big time around 100-120km/h.
