I'm leaning on waiting for a 228 convertible which would be the same weight as a M235 based on the previous conv weight on the 128 and what's currently quoted for the 228. I'd buy a Burger tune for $400 and get an M Sport. They would price out the same at $48,400 the way I'd spec each one so its a tough decision at this point.
Looking at the uk website and converting kgs to lbs, the M235i should be around 3400 lbs.
