I happened to test drive a 235i this past week and was quite surprised. I didn't think I was going to like the car at all from my expiernce with the f30 but I did. For me the steering is a good amount better then the f30 but still lacking against it's older brother 135i, hopefully this will be fixed through an eps update. The car cornered far flatter then I thought it would and it still had that great low end torque (still wish it had the n54) that I remember. I think this car is very pleasing from the front but wish they stayed closer to the 135i rear design.
For someone wanting to get into the BMW brand this is a great place to start. For a performance car it will have some stiff competition from ford.
