It is also going to drive, handle, and feel substantially the same as my 1er, as evidenced by my test drive and similar responses from other members on the board.

In my head, the pecking order easily goes something like this:

135 < 135is < M235 < 1M < M2 (hopefully). ***Cue IEDEI to argue vigoriously here that his 135is is better***

My previous post wasn't intended to laud the 1M over the M235 - performance-wise, it should be better than the M235. I think a lot of 1M owners (rightfully) think that they have a very special, hard to obtain car...but much of that was put into place by BMW's idiotic approach to how many were to be sold. Many people who wanted one couldn't get one, and not because the car was too expensive.

If we do indeed see an M2, I would expect it to be better, performance-wise, than the 1M in every way. Doesn't mean someone can't like the 1M better for subjective reasons, but facts are facts. I like the E46 M3 better than the E92. Doesn't mean the E92 isn't a better car in every measurable way, which it is.

Couldn't agree more.
