Unless you go crazy with the options on 228i, the price difference with M235i is pretty significance.

I think many people would be happy to just stay with 228i, I know I am.
240 hp and 260 lb ft of torque, 35 mpg highway in a nimble relatively lightweight chassis? What's not to like?! 10 years ago this was how the 330i performed which was just under the M3 in terms of performance.

I wonder if the less weight up front from the engine will make much of a significant difference in handling between the two cars. Can't wait until they have them in dealers to test drive the two.
