It's not really a 235is cos it means there's an existing 235i?

It really is just a 235i, a 135i replacement.

I think BMW miss a beat here cos as just 235i, the marketing noise would be focused on a fabulous non-m car, one of the best. As M235i, there's more negativity surrounding it not being a real M car, lack of LSD etc etc

Someone said it best earlier, let's not overplay the M bit but also not underplay the fact that it's a great little not so M car.
