If you are used to an E82 135, this will feel "better" in many ways. It will feel different in others. For me, overall the differences are a net positive, with a few small gripes (lack of temp gauge, huge gas door cover).

BTW good unbiased review. That's how I felt when comparing my 135 to the M235 that I test drove twice. It's more evolution than revolution. But there was one characteristic, the tail happy happiness of the 1er, (I used the word "twitchy") that I actually like in the 1er that was less apparent in the 2er. I would attribute that to the 2er's longer wheelbase and suspension. But then again, I had a salesperson with me so I didn't really have the opportunity to push it as hard as I would've liked.
