I believe the PPK which comes standard on the M235i optimizes engine revs and transmission shift points, which gives baby M a clear advantage here over the 435i stock n55. Frankly, I am surprised M235i didn't do better and really pull away after 2nd gear. Given this 435i performance in stock form, it appears that a 435i with PPK would have an advantage over the M235i and easily would walk away from it.
