I'm coming from an M3/M5, so my opinion is based on those cars. There is a night and day difference between my 2010 M3 and M235i or the new M5.

That's pretty much the point of this, or any other M-performance model. It is supposed to feel M-ish, without going all the way.
The steering feel should also feel different - there is a different system in place on the M235 compared to your M3…not sure if hydraulic is used in the M5 or not…
It's also just a hair slower to 60 and in the quarter mile compared to your M3, despite being down nearly 100 BHP. Just sayin.
