CR does this sometimes…pointing to unlikely comparisons between products in different areas of the spectrum. I'd guess they are mentioning it because:
-The M235i is the new kid on the block
-The new kid debuted at 2nd place in it's 1st model year (!!!)
-The 235i scored higher than any BMW of all time
-It got better scores than Europe and America's most storied sports cars of all time (911/Vette)
There's a lot to herald here. Another angle they used for comparison can be seen here:
"While the Corvette and 911 both “pack more punch” than the M235i on the road, the latter car comes relatively close and provides more comfort."
