Anyone know the performance diff between the 2.
BTW, I had forgotten just how much fun the 228i is. I could really push it hard and make it sing. The M235i maybe gets there a shade quicker, but with less drama ( and maybe a bit less fun). Kinda made me miss my old 228i.  |
I had a 228 loaner a while back. Compared to my 235 (now Dinan) it's was honestly about more engaging to drive. You had to work for it more and it was rewarding to really squeeze the performance out of it. 235 like you said seems a bit point and shoot easy by comparison. Granted I prefer the 235 but the 228 is more engaging at times depending on roads.
