An excerpt:

"The badge says "M," yes, but the M235i is a replacement for the 135i, not the 1 Series M Coupe. Though it’s fast as all get-out (0–60 in 4.5 seconds in our testing), grips like the dickens (thanks to Michelin Pilot Super Sports), and stops like an M car (five feet shorter from 80 mph than a competition-package M5, for example), it’s not involving enough to wear an M badge. Much less 16 of them."

I apologize in advance if this has been posted already.
Haha! Seems about spot-on. The whole "M235i" confuses me anyway... Why not just keep the 235i nomenclature and keep the M-sport option pack the way it was. The seems like too blatant an attempt to cash in on the M moniker without actually being an M car.

16 M badges... LOL! Seriously, no oil temp guage? WTF?
