I would agree with the general sentiment here. The BMW 3-Series has always been one of the cars with the best value to car ratio. It's always a hell of a car. But at the point at which they can charge $40k for a basic 328i and still deliver it with halogens and a corolla brings projectors standard at less than half the price? Like really... If you want to build the jack of all trades, put money into the small things in a car that make the most difference.
The M235i was supposed to be BMW's jackpot getting into the kind of market with a cost-effective yet luxurious sports car, yet they turned it into a performance coupe instead of a sports car to sell more. Decisions like this can kill a brand.
