In fact, there is nothing wrong really with the time or overall performance of the M235i. It is just fine. I had a good test drive with one and it is as fast as the 1M if with 8 speed auto and PSS equipped. 1M still feels a tiny bit stronger maybe but most people would not feel a noticeable difference and prefer easy-to-go-fast character of the M235i.
There is a mis-marketing which plagues an otherwise a very fine overall package of the M235i, it is not engineered to be a track weapon and people tend to forget that. The driver here praises the car yet some gets frustrated because it is 2 sec. slower than a 1M or a TT RS! If all we need is bragging rights than those will need to wait a M2 to fix the order in the universe.
